A young man aged 26 entered a care home for the disabled in the city of Sagamihara located near Tokyo in Japan and killed at least 15 with a knife and left another 28 injured - the suspect apparently wanted to get rid of the disabled from this world.
Initially it had been reported that at least 19 people and 45 injured 45 but, subsequently, the figures were revised.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 26 July 2016.

The police did not immediately release an official death toll, but it is believed to be the worst mass stabbing case in Japan in recent years. Police were summoned after residents reported seeing a man armed with a knife in the grounds of the Tsukui Yamayuri Garden. The suspect is a former employee at the facility and has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Incidentally, Sagamihara is home to a large US Army depot called the Sagami Army Depot.
