The crazed knifeman who hacked 19 people to death at a care home in Japan because he wanted to ‘get rid of the disabled from this world’ is believed to have sent a chilling tweet just minutes after the attack.
Satoshi Uematsu, 26, broke into the centre by smashing a window with a hammer, killing 19 people and seriously injuring 26 people as they slept, in what has been deemed the country's worst mass murder since World War II.
He went into the Tsukui Yamayuri En centre in Sagamihara, outside of Tokyo, brandishing a knife at around 2.10am and police were called at 2.30am local time.
At 2.50am a picture was published by a Twitter account, named by Japanese media as belonging to Uematsu, showing a man with blond hair, wearing a suit, grinning alongside a message in Japanese which reads: 'May there be peace in the world'.
In English he added the words: 'Beautiful Japan!!!!!!'.
Police were first called to the scene after residents saw a man with blond hair armed with a blade in black clothes in the centre's grounds.
Uematsu, who is a former employee at the care centre, was arrested after he walked into a police station 30 minutes after the gruesome attack and stated 'I did it'. Nine women and 10 men aged between 18 and 70 are among the dead.
Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun reported that the suspect told police: 'I want to get rid of the disabled from this world.'
Kyodo news service has released a letter that Uematsu tried to present to Tadamori Oshima, the speaker of the lower house of Japan's parliament, in February calling for euthanasia of disabled people.
In it, Uematsu described detailed plans on how he planned to carry out such an attack during the night when there were few staff working. He wrote he would then turn himself in to the police.
