On September 30, a 67-year-old resident was arrested in Kitahiroshima City, Hokkaido, in an incident in which two people, a man and a woman, died in an arson attack on a condominium for the needy. In an interview with the police, it was found that he had stated that.
In the early morning of the 30th, a condominium in Chuo 2-chome, Kitahiroshima City, was set on fire, and the bodies of two men and women were found in a room on the second floor. Tadashi Ogino, a 67-year-old unemployed man living in Tokyo, has been sent to the public prosecutor's office on suspicion of murder and arson.
According to the police, Ogino stated in the investigation so far, "I wanted to kill a man who was a live-in manager of a condominium, so I sprinkled kerosene and set it on fire." It means that he has admitted to the allegations.
After the fire, they lost contact with two residents, including the male manager, and the police are rushing to confirm that they were the two who died.
Police believe that Ogino was dissatisfied for some reason and caused the incident, and are investigating the circumstances, as well as inspecting the scene and investigating how the fire spread.
