Japan arrests man over killing of dozens of hamsters in 'love hotels'
–
Neutral summary
A 36-year-old school employee in Japan's Iwate region has been arrested on suspicion of killing about 30 hamsters in March at short-stay hotels for couples, known as 'love hotels'. He had previously been detained in July over the deaths of roughly 20 other hamsters in February. Police say he acted with two young women, aged 19 and 20, who were also arrested. Investigators found videos related to the animal deaths on his phone, and in one exchange he reportedly asked: 'Where are we going to kill the hamsters and have fun?'
