Police have arrested a 46-year-old man in Inzai, Chiba Prefecture, on suspicion of killing his parents in a house fire last month.
Police said Takayoshi Shinoda set fire to his house at around 5:45 p.m. on July 14. His parents, Koichi, 75, and Hiroko, 70, perished in the blaze.
Police quoted Shinoda as saying that prior to the fire, he and his parents had argued vehemently, which led him to douse the house in gasoline. However, he denied actually setting the house on fire with a lighter found on him and denied any intent to murder his parents, Fuji TV reported.
