The Kyoto prefectural police arrested mother and a common-law husband.
Police arrested Yuko Hamano, 30, and her boyfriend Masakatsu Takagi, 48, on charges of abandoning the body of the woman's 18-month-old son, Kyotaro, police said.
"Hamano told police that the baby collapsed at home some time around March last year and she thought he was dead," said a police spokesman in western Kyoto prefecture.
"She then laid the body in a plastic box and poured cement in it," he said.
I found it disturbing that the boyfriend shares the same name as the wonderful multimedia artist, Takagi Masakatsu.
