Japanese media: suspected of arson in Osaka died
Reference News Network reported on December 31. According to a report on December 31 by “Nihon Keizai Shimbun”, in the arson killing in Osaka, the suspect died without being able to accept investigation and questioning.
According to reports, on the 17th of this month, a psychology clinic in a building in Kitashinchi, Osaka was set on fire, resulting in 25 deaths. The suspect, Morio Tanimoto (61), was also rushed to the hospital for treatment, but died in a hospital in Osaka on December 30. Since he has been unconscious, he cannot be questioned. It is estimated that it will be difficult to clarify his motives after his death.
In an interview, the lawyer Masahiro Okumura, who served as the attorney for the survivor’s family, criticized the current suspect’s selfishness and said: “He did not serve his sentence or apologize to the survivor, so he realized his own ideas capriciously and then passed away. “Okumura also said, “It’s really hateful for the survivors to lose the’opportunity to understand the situation’.”
The Osaka Prefectural Police believes that the suspect planned to prepare and involved many people regardless of his own life. This behavior is called “expanded suicide”, and it has similarities with past indiscriminate killings. Some people think that the background of the arson is isolation and loneliness.
