Japanese authorities on Friday said they arrested a 31-year-old man in a rural area for suspected murder, after four people were killed in a rare shooting and stabbing incident involving a 12-hour stand-off with police.
The suspect is the son of the head of the Nakano city council, public broadcaster NHK reported.
"This is a heinous crime that has aroused great fear in the residents of the prefecture and society at large," the police chief, Iwao Koyama, said.
The suspect's mother and aunt who were in the house with him escaped on their own, Koyama said. Few other details were known, including the suspect's motive.
