Defendants' lawyers read a record of evidence in a court case involving the murder of 19 residents at a facility for intellectual disabilities in Sagamihara, and defendants discriminate against persons with disabilities about a year before the case. He explained what he was talking to his acquaintance.

A trial of the case where 19 residents were killed at the Tsukui Yamayurien, a facility for people with mental disabilities in Sagamihara City, was held for the sixth time in the Yokohama District Court on the 20th. A lawyer read out the contents of a record that an acquaintance and others spoke to the police and prosecutors as evidence.

A friend who met the defendant during his high school days said, "Around a year before the defendant, the defendant suddenly said," Disabled people who cannot communicate have no meaning to live. " The personality has changed and he has been chosen. "

Regarding the defendant's liability at issue in the court, regarding how he used cannabis, he said, "I think that the defendant began to smoke cannabis around 2011. There was no behavior or appearance. "

He also read aloud several friends who had heard from defendants about killing the disabled about five months before the incident.

Defendant appeared in a blue coat on the 20th, wearing bandages only on the little finger of the right hand, without the gloves that had been worn on both hands, occasionally showing a smiley look.
