The knifeman who killed seven people in a rampage in central Tokyo yesterday charted the slayings on a weblog which he updated via his mobile phone even as he drove to the murder scene.
Tomohiro Kato had hired a two-tonne truck to make the 100-km trip from Susono, in the foothills of Mount Fuji, to Akihabara – the capital's Electric Town which is famed as the cradle of modern Japanese youth culture.
In the days leading up to the spree, Mr Kato made several visits to "scope out" Akihabara and establish its suitability for death. "I knew there would be lots of people and I decided this some days ago," he told police after his arrest.
