Japan attacker fuelled by ‘hatred of disabled’

A Japanese man who went on a stabbing rampage at a facility for the mentally disabled, killing 19 people and injuring 25 others, appears to have been fuelled by hatred.

Satoshi Uematsu, 26, had been sacked from the unit and had reportedly sent a letter to Parliament outlining his bloody plan.

The 40-minute attack in the early hours of yesterday was the deadliest mass killing in Japan in decades.
