Police in Japan say they've arrested a suspect in the suspected arson attack that killed more than 30 people at the Kyoto Animation Studio.
Twenty people were confirmed dead and about 10 more had no vital signs, the official said, using a traditional term until death has been verified by a doctor.
Police arrested a 41-year-old man who had shouted "die" as he poured what appeared to be petrol around the three-storey Kyoto Animation building shortly after 10 a.m. , public broadcaster NHK reported. "Fire department officials were trying to rescue the injured in a nearby park but it seemed like there weren't enough of them," he said."Today, many people were killed and wounded in an arson murder case in Kyoto," Abe said in a post on Twitter.The studio produces popular series such as the "Sound! Euphonium". Its "Free! Road to the World - The Dream" movie is due for release this month.
