KYOTO - The stepfather of a boy who went missing and was found dead three weeks later in Kyoto Prefecture, western Japan, was served a fresh arrest warrant Wednesday on suspicion of murder, police said.

Yuki Adachi, 37, was initially arrested on April 16 on suspicion of abandoning the body of his 11-year-old stepson, Yuki, in Nantan in the prefecture. He was alleged at the time to have hidden the body in different locations before it was discovered following an extensive search.
