Tokyo - A Japanese man collecting mushrooms in a mountain area on Friday found the severed head of a young woman, believed to be a college student missing since last month, news reports said.

The man made the grisly find near the 1 223-metre peak of Mount Garyu in the north of Hiroshima prefecture, where he was gathering wild mushrooms, Jiji Press reported, quoting police sources.

Police suspect the head may be that of a local 19-year-old college student who has been missing since October 26, Jiji said.

The report could not immediately be confirmed. - Sapa-AFP
