Police have searched the home of a man accused of carrying out Japan’s worst mass killing in decades, at a care home for people with mental disabilities. Satoshi Uematsu, a former employee of the facility in Sagamihara west of Tokyo, stabbed 19 people to death on Tuesday, say police. He had previously sent letters to politicians threatening to kill hundreds of disabled people. The 26-year-old turned himself into police after the attack. He was quoted by police as saying he had attacked those who were unable to communicate their feelings, broadcaster NHK reported.
