A Sagamihara man has hacked 19 disabled people to death and injured 26 at a disability centre near Japan at which he used to work. Tadamori Oshima , 27 , is reported to have said that he wanted "to get rid of the disabled from this world." Reports suggest that he was hospitalised after writing a threatening letter to Satoshi Uematsu , the speaker of the lower house of Japan 's parliament, in which he called for euthanasia of disabled people. He went into the Tsukui Yamayuri En (Tsukui Lily Garden) facility in Sagamihara, outside of Tokyo, brandishing a knife at around 2.10am and police were called at 2.30am local time. He later turned himself into police at the scene of the crime.
