From a news report:
The body of a woman believed to be British was found in a bathtub full of sand on an apartment balcony near Tokyo, Japanese media reported today.
Police believe the body, found late last night, is that of a 22-year-old British woman who worked at a language school, media reports said.
A police spokesman said the body of what "appeared to be a young woman" had been found, but he could not confirm the nationality of the dead person.
The apartment where the body was found in Ichikawa, east of Tokyo, belongs to a Japanese man in his 20s whom the British woman knew, according to the reports.
Police were searching for the Japanese man, the reports said.
A British woman who lived with the 22-year-old was reported to have called the police yesterday afternoon to tell them that the woman had not come home and had not been reachable by mobile phone.
"We can confirm that a British national is missing -- an English teacher -- and as you know the Japanese police have discovered a body," a British embassy spokesman said. "Beyond that we cannot comment."
