Aoba’s defense team appealed the ruling on Jan. 26. Aoba, 45, earlier admitted to setting the blaze at the firm’s premises in Kyoto on July 18, 2019. In addition to the deaths, 32 employees were injured in the attack, which has gone down as one of Japan’s worst mass murders. As the defendant confessed to his role in the incident, the focus of the trial at the Kyoto District Court had been on whether he could be declared mentally competent.
