Kyodo News reports that the individual who set fire to Kyoto Animation Studios on July 17, 2019 will have murder included with other charges.
The suspect, 42-year-old Shinji Aoba, was arrested by Kyoto Metropolitan Police on May 27 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, but waited until he could withstand confinement for his full arrest after experimental procedures were done with artificial skin grafts.
