TOKYO: A Japanese man sentenced to death for an arson attack that killed 36 people at an anime studio has dropped his appeal and accepted the court's penalty, a lawyer and local media said Tuesday (Jan 28).
Shinji Aoba, 46, was sentenced to death in January last year over the 2019 blaze at the studios of Kyoto Animation -- Japan's deadliest crime in decades.
