Japanese police arrested the lead suspect in last year's deadly arson attack on the Kyoto Animation studio. Shinji Aoba, 42, spent the past 10 months in hospitals recovering from severe burns he incurred during the attack. Details:
on Kyoto Animation, the family-run studio behind a string of internationally beloved anime films and television series.
Aoba is accused of storming into a Kyoto Animation production facility last July and lighting gasoline containers on fire, killing 36 people and injured 33 others. Witnesses at the scene told police that he pushed a cart carrying two large canisters of gasoline into the studio's lobby, screamed "die" and then set them alight. The incident is thought to be Japan's largest act of mass murder since World War II.
Japanese police told the local media Wednesday that Aoba said there was "no mistake" in the allegations against him. He was quoted saying he thought he could "kill many people by using gasoline." Police noted that he has made no apologies, nor expressed any remorse during questioning.
