This Tuesday the Kyoto Prefectural Police listed the names of the other 25 casualties in the Kyoto Animation Arson Attack which took place on the 18th of July, 2019. These 25 victims were meant to be listed on the 9th, but they postponed the release of the names due to Bon Festival taking place at the same time. The police revealed the names of 10 of the other casualties in the fire earlier this month on the 2nd.

Only 5 of the newly confirmed victims have been revealed to the public, due to some of the families not wishing to share the names of their deceased relatives. Although the names were given to the media, only the ages and genders have currently been given to the public.
