Shinki Aoba allegedly broke into the building, “scattered gasoline on the ground floor, set fire to it”, and killed 14 men and 22 women, a police spokesman said, confirming his arrest on suspicion of murder Wednesday.
No motive for the attack has been established, with reports claiming Aoba shouted “drop dead” before the assault. He has reportedly confessed to the arson, and there have been claims that he accused the studio of stealing his work. Aoba is still recovering from his burns, but police have prepared medical treatment facilities at a police station to which he will be sent, public broadcaster NHK reported.Parents of some of the victims told local media they were still suffering the devastating loss of their loved ones.
Yasuo Takemoto, who lost his son Yasuhiro, a director at the studio, said the 10 months since the attack had “passed quickly. But it doesn't mean that we are cured 10 months later. Yasuhiro won't come back”, he told NHK.
