A Japanese man suspected of killing 36 people and injuring dozens in an arson attack at an animation studio last July was arrested on Wednesday after spending 10 months in hospital for treatment.
Police had issued an arrest warrant for Shinji Aoba at the time of the fire but had been unable to question him after he suffered serious burns in the blaze at Kyoto Animation.
The fire - one of Japan’s deadliest in decades - killed mostly young artists at the studio, shocking animation fans globally and prompting tributes from leaders such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Apple’s chief executive, Tim Cook. Media reports at the time said Aoba told police he had taken the action because the studio had plagiarized his novel.
“We have no further words for the suspect... Our fallen colleagues will never return, and our wounds will never heal,” it said.
