Description
"I think it would have been better if it had been done earlier," one Tokyo resident told AFP, reacting after Japan announced it had executed a man convicted of killing seven people in a 2008 truck ramming and stabbing rampage.
Tomohiro Kato carried out the attack in Tokyo's popular Akihabara electronics district and his hanging is the first in Japan this year, after three prisoners were hanged in 2021.
