Japan care home massacre suspect moved to prosecutor’s office

The 26-year-old man suspected of carrying out a mass stabbing attack that left 19 people dead at a Japanese care home for the mentally disabled has been moved from a local police station to the prosecutor’s office in Yokohama.

Satoshi Uematsu, his head and shoulders covered with a blue jacket, was led out of a police station in Sagamihara city and into the back of an unmarked white van with emergency lights.

Uematsu had been held at the police station all day and overnight after turning himself in about two hours after Tuesday’s pre-dawn attack.
