TOKYO: A Japanese man who admitted murdering 19 people at a centre for the mentally disabled grinned at news cameras on Wednesday before being questioned about the country’s worst killing spree in decades.
Police searched the home of the 26-year-old, who reportedly said he wanted all disabled people to “disappear”, after the knife rampage that left his victims in pools of blood, including some who were stabbed in the neck.
With a blue jacket draped over his head, Satoshi Uematsu was escorted out of a police station into a waiting van before a crowd of flashing cameras. Inside the vehicle with the jacket *******, he smiled broadly in footage broadcast on morning news shows. Uematsu’s self-styled mission to rid the country of the mentally disabled -- laid out earlier this year in a long letter that came to light on Tuesday -- has shocked Japan, as has the carnage at the Tsukui Yamayuri-en centre in the city of Sagamihara outside Tokyo.
Questions were being asked about why he had been allowed to leave the hospital where he was admitted in February for mental evaluation following his explicit threats. In a sign that the care centre feared its former employee, public broadcaster NHK -- citing Kanagawa prefectural officials -- said the facility in April set up 16 security cameras to watch out for him after he was discharged from the hospital.
An official at the Tsukui police station where Uematsu was held after the attack declined to comment on the investigation, only confirming that he was being transported to prosecutors for questioning.
