Japan Mass Murder Wikipedia Commons
Tokyo: The Japanese government has executed a man who had killed seven people during a stabbing rampage in 2008, media reports said on Tuesday.
Tomohiro Kato committed one of the most shocking mass murders in the country's recent history, reports BBC.
He was 25 when he drove a truck into a lunch-time crowd of pedestrians at Akihabara shopping district, killing three people, the British media reported.
The police arrested him from the site of the incident.
He later admitted his crime during trial.
The Tokyo District Court sentenced him to death in 2011 saying his brutal crime had not indicated "a shred of humanity". He lost an appeal in 2015 to commute his death sentence, reports BBC.
