An unemployed man has been arrested for kicking a homeless man to death at a Tokyo park in mid-October, police said.
Daisuke Kato, 33, stands accused of murdering Yoshito Nishioka, 57, from Nagasaki Prefecture, who lived at the Tokyo Metropolitan Ojima-Komatsuga
He admitted to the allegations during questioning. "I got furious because he lied to me. I kicked him to death," he was quoted as telling investigators.
Local police are questioning Kato over the exact motives for his crime.
Kato began to visit the park in early September. Eyewitnesses have reported spotting Kato and Nishioka arguing at the park on Oct. 13, prompting police to search for Kato.
Nishioka was found dead at the park on Oct. 18, local police said.
