A Japanese man has been arrested for the second time for the mass killing of hamsters.

A 36-year-old man employed at a high school in northern Japan's Iwate prefecture was arrested by Japanese police on Monday for killing 30 hamsters. This is the second time he has been detained for mass killings of rodents, previously, he was held in July after allegedly killing around 20 hamsters in February, likely alongside a 19-year-old woman. The incident reportedly occurred during a gathering at a love hotel designed for short-term stays by couples. Police arrested both women involved and seized the main suspect's phone, where they found video footage of the animal killings and messages showing planning between him and one of the women.
