26-year-old Japanese man who murdered 19 people at a centre for the mentally disabled grinned at news cameras on Wednesday before being questioned.
Police searched the home of Satoshi Uematsu, , 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 removed, he smiled broadly in footage broadcast on morning news shows.
