Police in Hokkaido arrested the zoo worker on Thursday after finding partial remains in an Asahiyama Zoo incinerator; the victim was identified as his 33-year-old wife, Yui Suzuki.
Police have not said how she died, but local media said Suzuki told investigators he burned her body for hours and made statements suggesting he killed her, raising possible murder charges.
The case delayed the Asahikawa zoo's planned Wednesday reopening during seasonal maintenance, though it resumed operations on Friday as city officials apologized to visitors.
