An employee of the major video game company Konami Digital Entertainment has been arrested and charged with attempted murder for allegedly beating a former superior using a fire extinguisher.
The 41-year-old Yuki Yamazaki is accused of trying to kill his former boss (48 years old) with a fire extinguisher at around 11:00 a.m. on April 11 at Konami’s Ginza office. He grabbed a nearby fire extinguisher, assaulted the victim from behind while working, and beat him until other coworkers subdued him.
Yamazaki confessed to the charges, saying, “I was being power-harassed, so I beat him with the intention of killing in order to live.” The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to leave the hospital after seven days of treatment.
According to the police, Yamazaki worked in the same department as his former boss until the summer of 2020 but was transferred to another department due to human relations issues. Yamazaki was dismissed on April 11 following the incident and arrest.
It’s Konami, the guy probably deserved it. Give this man a break, we all would’ve done the same
Next time use the fire axe
He know his boss luv censored games
If you’re gonna be a fucking asshole and abusive boss, you deserve to get severely punished or even killed. He did the right thing and that’ll teach the bastard an unforgettable lesson. You can only poke a docile person this much until it turns into an enraged grizzly.
I’m starting to get the impression that Konami is a not a very good place to work. 😆
what gave you that impression? 🤣🤣🤣
Better than an American gaming company.
