AOMORI, Japan — The former Misawa airman who confessed to murdering his Japanese ex-wife and burning her corpse apologized in court this week to the victim’s family.

“For about a year and a half I’ve been thinking about what I can say to her family,” William Scott Omari McAllister said in Aomori District Court on Monday. “I took their daughter’s life and I regret doing that.”

Because he destroyed Naomi Kimura’s body, “they never got a proper chance to say goodbye to her,” he added.

But, “an apology is not enough,” he said, agreeing with Kimura’s parents that he deserves the death penalty.

“I can’t imagine what it’s like for someone to kill your daughter,” he said. “I have a 3-year-old daughter. If someone killed her, they’d have to die.”
