wannamaker 1,407 Posted January 25 On 20/07/2019 at 00:33, Sir Creep said: The man suspected of setting ablaze a beloved Japanese animation studio, killing 33 people, was raging about theft and witnesses and media reported he had a grudge against the company, as questions arose why such mass killings keep happening in the country. Police only have said the suspect Shinji Aoba, 41, who is hospitalized with severe burns and unable to talk, is from near Tokyo and did not work for the studio, Kyoto Animation. Aoba spent 3 ½ years in prison for robbing a convenience store in 2012 and lived on government support. The man told police that he set the fire because he thought "(Kyoto Animation) stole novels," according to Japanese media. It was unclear if he had contacted the studio earlier. SC Shinji Aoba sentenced to death. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I click on the link you give, the English language version of Wikipedia opens, which shows no indication of him even being dead. If I type in the url for the Spanish version and access his page, I concede that his date of death is shown. Our two experiences are therefore different (maybe neither of us are wrong). Here's a link to his website which records his death. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
