SIX people were found dead in two cars over the weekend in Japan’s latest group suicides.

A woman and two men in their 20s were found slumped in a car parked at an isolated forest in Fukuoka, 560 miles south west of Tokyo, yesterday.

Several portable charcoal stoves were found on the floor of their car and the three occupants were found to have died of carbon monoxide poisoning, police said.
