TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested a man from Hyogo Prefecture for posting a death threat online to actor Shigeki Hosokawa, reports the Yomiuri Shimbun (May 18).
On March 16, Taiki Okada, a 44-year-old resident of Nishinomiya City, allegedly wrote on the blog of Hosokawa, “Your corpse must be carved up and the pieces scattered.”
“In writing a scary comment to an entertainer, I was trying to get attention,” the suspect was quoted by the Akasaka Police Station.
The matter emerged when the lawyer of Hosokawa contacted police at the end of March.
