A Japanese court Monday sentenced a former care home employee to hang for knifing to death 19 disabled people and injuring others four years ago in the deadliest mass attack in postwar Japan.

The Yokohama District Court convicted Satoshi Uematsu for the killings and for injuring 24 other residents and two caregivers at the Yamayuri-en residential buildings in July 2016.

The trial focused on his mental state at the time of the crime. Chief judge Kiyoshi Aonuma dismissed defence requests to acquit him because he was mental incompetent due to a marijuana overdose.
