In response to questioning, Iimori reportedly said: “That’s not something I did. I think it happened because my illness got worse and the people around me got worse.”

I misspoke on the podcast, although I did correct it later in the recording. The police officer Kose whose first name is Suzunosuke, is still in a coma at the time I recorded this, and I hope Officer Kose Suzunosuke recovers soon.
