INSPECTOR KNACKER OF THE TOKYO YARD has arrested 18 people for defamatory posts on a comedian's blog alleging he was involved in a killing.
The bloggers wrote on the unnamed comic's site that he was involved in the 1988 murder of a teenage girl.
Hundreds of messages were sent to the comic's blog saying things like 'How can a murderer become a comedian?' and 'You die, criminal'.
People charged include a 17-year-old girl and a 45-year-old university official. µ
