Two months after a post was posted about a stabbing rampage at Yatap Station, police caught the author, a man in his 20s.
It was an employee who was running a site who posted a threat, and he admitted to the crime, saying he tried to increase the number of views on the community site.
I'll connect with the Ministry of Social Affairs to find out more about the news.

Yes, on the day before yesterday (13th), nearly two months after the announcement of a deadly rampage was posted, the police identified the publisher and arrested him.
The criminal was none other than an employee, a man in his 20s, who was managing the community site where the article was posted.
It is a community site that claims anonymity by placing servers overseas, and A was an employee who was in charge of a sub-bulletin board sharing the address of a pornographic site here.
After the police seized and searched the site's office with international cooperation to arrest the threat writer, A was identified as the culprit.
Regarding the reason for posting a notice of a deadly rampage, A said he did it to increase the number of site views, and it was confirmed that he admitted the crime to the police.
The police applied for an arrest warrant against the arrested Mr. A, and today the court conducted a court hearing to determine the validity of the warrant.
In addition, the police also arrested three people in their 20s, including the manager who operated the community site, on charges of assisting in the distribution of pornography.
Earlier, they posted their position that they were cooperating with the investigation on their site, and the police explained that they virtually refused to cooperate, saying they had no information on the author.
The police are also investigating whether they ordered A to post threatening messages or conspired.
Because of the threatening text, the waste of police personnel has been considerable.
In the three weeks since the post was posted that it would carry out a deadly rampage, there have been 529 police personnel on the scene for patrols.
In particular, special forces were dispatched on the day A predicted the crime, and even armored vehicles were deployed.
The police are also considering charging Mr. A for the amount spent on career investment.
