Suspect in Tokyo knife rampage was an angry loner, prosecutors hear

The suspect in a knife rampage that killed seven in Tokyo was handed to prosecutors today, amid reports depicting an angry, lonely young man who meticulously planned the deadly attack.

Tomohiro Kato, a 25-year-old factory worker, was transferred from police custody to a holding cell at the Tokyo prosecutors’ office, where he was expected to undergo further questioning over Sunday’s attack in which he allegedly slammed a rented truck into a crowd of pedestrians then jumped out and began a stabbing spree.
