Kyoto police said they arrested Shinji Aoba, 42, on murder and arson allegations after he recovered enough from his own severe burns.
TOKYO — Japanese police on Wednesday arrested a suspect in the deadly arson at a Kyoto anime studio last year after he recovered enough from his own severe burns to respond to the police investigation.
Police, quoting witnesses to the attack, have alleged Aoba arrived carrying two containers of flammable liquid, entered the studio’s unlocked front door, dumped the liquid and set it afire with a lighter. Many others tried but failed to escape to the roof, fire officials said. Many died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
