MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, Uematsu, 26, was arrested in Sagamihara, west of Tokyo, as he surrendered to police after killing 19 and injuring 25 disabled people during their sleep at the facility. The assailant, a former employee of the care facility, had a bag with several blood-stained knives with him when surrendering.
"The crime committed against defenseless people with disabilities is shocking in its brutality and cynicism," the Russian president said in a message to the Japanese leader.
