Factory Worker Who murdered 2800 People, Arrested
« on: January 28, 2014, 07:40:44 AM »
 Japanese police have arrested a factory worker
at a plant that produced food laced with
pesticide, which led to hundreds of people being
poisoned. More than six million packages of frozen food were
recalled. Maruha Nichiro Holdings announced earlier this
month it was recalling products after some were
found to contain high levels of malathion. The pesticide is used in farming, gardening and for
killing fleas. Up to 2,800 people reported symptoms after eating
the products, which included pizza and chicken
nuggets, manufactured at a factory in Gunma
prefecture, north of Tokyo. Police say they arrested Toshiki Abe, 49, a worker
at the subsidiary of Maruha where the tainted food
was found, on Saturday. He is suspected of putting the pesticide in frozen
foods at Aqlifoods's Oizumi plant in Gunma on four
occasions last October. Mr Abe has denied the charges, police say. Maruha, which has received hundreds of thousands
of phone complaints, issued public apologies in full-
page ads in newspapers and warn people not to eat
any of the possibly tainted food.
