Kyo-ani arson murder case Reason for detention of Aoba suspect Disclosure on 9th Kyoto District Court June 5, 15:10
A procedure to clarify the reason why the court granted detention to Shinji Aoba who was arrested in the murder case of arson in Kyoto Animation will be carried out on this month. The procedure takes place in an open court, and it will be noted whether Aoba himself will appear in the court and give his opinion.
Shinji Aoba (42), who was arrested on the 27th of last month for murder and arson in a case where a Kyoto animation studio was arson, was detained on that day at the Osaka Detention Center, and the Kyoto District Court this month. 5 days and 15 days have been granted 10 days extension of detention.
Meanwhile, lawyers wanted to clarify why he admitted the detention of Aoba, who is almost bedridden with a heavy burn.
About this, the Kyoto District Court decided to clarify the reason for detention at 4 pm on the 9th of next week.
The process takes place in an open court, usually with the suspect appearing in the court and giving an opinion within 10 minutes.
However, if there is an unavoidable reason such as your health condition and you agree not to appear in the court, you can do the procedure with an attorney alone.
It is not known yet whether Aoba will appear in court, and it will be noted whether he will speak in public for the first time after the incident.
