“#Kyoto Animation Arson Suspect to be Indicted on Murder, Other Charges<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"Kyoto<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The suspect behind the arson attacks on Kyoto Animation will be indicted on murder and other charges on Thursday, according to the Kyodo News<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The attack<\/span><\/a>, which occurred on July 17, 2019, took the lives of 36 employees, including The Disapp<\/a>earance of Haruhi Suzumiya<\/em><\/strong> director Yasuhiro Takemoto<\/strong>, animator Yoshiji Kigami<\/strong>, chief animation director on the Free!<\/em><\/strong> franchise Futoshi Nishiya<\/strong>, Sound! Euphonium<\/em><\/strong> character designer Shouko Ikeda, <\/strong>and many more. 35 more people who were inside the building at the time were also injured. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The suspect, 41-year-old Shinji Aoba, was arrested by Kyoto Metropolitan Police on May 27<\/span><\/a> and is being held at the Osaka Police Detention Center after undergoing treatment for third-degree burns. Police obtained a warrant for his arrest in October 2019<\/span><\/a>, but waited until he could withstand confinement for his full arrest after experimental procedures were done with artificial skin grafts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Investigators with the prosecutor's office and medical experts declared the suspect as mentally competent, thus he can be held criminally liable for the attack, after examinations began in June. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kyoto Animation Studio 1, the building that was attacked, was fully demolished<\/span><\/a> in April. Kyoto Animation President Hideaki Hatta told Crunchyroll News in July<\/span><\/a> that there were "no plans currently" for a newly constructed memorial site nor a replacement for Studio 1.<\/p>\n
