A man who instigated a media frenzy after he stabbed and killed an elderly former vice-minister for welfare, and his wife for good measure, and then hunted yet another ex-minister, stabbing his wife, has finally been arrested.
He explains his motive for the spree as being infuriated over the killing of his dog at a government facility.
The mass media had already long since begun speculating that the killings were over pension scandals, assassinations carried out by a criminal organisation, or even acts of terrorism, but they were soon forced to change their reporting when the culprit (46), a washed up ice cream salesman and IT worker, turned himself in to police, complete with bloodstained combat knife and clothing, and was promptly arrested for violating weapon control laws whilst investigations continue.
“My pet was killed by a healthcare facility, and I became enraged.” This apparently occurred 34 years ago.
Such appears to be the motivation behind the crimes which have shocked a nation, and aroused substantial distrust of couriers, as the killer disguised himself as one.
Police for their part have still not given up hope of disbanding some nefarious organisation: “We still haven’t confirmed he was behind the serial murders, there may be others involved”.
His anguished father (77) has spoken of him as being a kind child (and confirmed the matter of the destroyed dog), and one never given to rebelliousness, and seems overwrought: “If only I could exchange my life for that of one of his victims”. He seems to want to atone in the traditional manner: “I feel like cutting my belly”.
Via Sankei.
Not the first time we have seen love for animals inspire murder. A nation of animal lovers? Certainly in the case of cats…

Pretty bizarre, maybe the dog had special powers?
he must be a pitiful scapegoat ...
If he sold ice cream from a truck, I could understand him going insane.
.......I like animals too and understand being upset over the death of a pet--BUT WHY THE HELL STAB RANDOM EEEEXXXX-MINISTERS OVER IT!?!?!? Good lord... that guy is either disgustingly evil, or disgustingly deranged mentally... either way he should be sentenced to death to end his reign of terror.
Hmm.. You'll never know. What if you bought your loli moe nekomimi suzumizu Nanako at Japan and flew all the way back home, just to find that it was confiscated by the customs cus its R18(assuming that ur under 18^^)?
Why so serious?
That's just sick.
I don't see the correlation to Ryougi Shiki other than the knife...unless he said he killed them via dot-stabbin' eye hax.
Any reason to put a pic of Ryougi Shiki is a good reason.
So moe~
It boggles me how Shiki Ryougi is so popular, considering she's only in a Japanese-only, doujin game group-published novel that hasn't spawned a manga or anime yet.
It might have to do with its tenuous connection with Tsukihime, but even then I've only gotten into the game and manga recently.
DERAILED!
Like Anon says.
Also, KnK was somewhat well known to serious Typemoonists as the precursor(almost-prequel) of Tsukihime; thus artwork was danbooru'ed or 4chan/a/ned quite early; the character design became popular; then the movies were announced.
Err, you don't know there's a movie series of Kara no Kyoukai out?
I withdraw my previous complaint on the basis that this man is correct, and I am an idiot.
Find me a tasteful illustration of a man stabbing an elderly politician over his dog and I'll concede the illustration...
lolwut 34 years ago? Someone can really bear a grudge.
Y so sick and crazy?
"My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my dog, prepare to die!"
I'm finding it amusing that the police keep looking for a non-existent culprit when the real one is standing in front of them, and instead only arresting him for having a BLOOD-STAINED weapon. They didn't even question where he got the weapon, why it was stained with blood, and who's blood it belonged to? I also find it interesting that the guy wants to commit seppuku to atone.
I'm four-and-a-half months too late, but the article says that it's the culprit's father who wishes to.
