A man who killed 7 people and wounded 10 in a random attack in Tokyo's Akihabara shopping district last year has sent a letter of apology to one of the victims.
In June of last year, former part-time worker Tomohiro Kato went on a stabbing spree after ramming a truck into a crowd of pedestrians at a crossing in the district's vehicle-free zone. He has been indicted on murder and other charges.
On Friday, former taxi driver Hiroshi Yuasa, who fell temporarily unconscious after being attacked, received the 6-page letter through Kato's lawyer.
The letter says the defendant truly apologizes and has no excuses for his actions.
It also says that Kato's regrets and apologies could never make up for what he did and he deserves to die 10,000 times for his crimes.
The letter gave no motive or background reasons, saying only that Kato hardly remembers the incident.
Yuasa said he gained the impression from the letter that Kato was a decent young man and that he cannot understand why he caused such an incident.
He said he plans to send a reply to Kato and ask him to tell everything he knows to prevent a similar incident from happening again.
