He's been sentenced to the last death.
Satoshi Wematsu, a former employee in Tsuqui Yamaiuri En, a centre southwestern Tokyo, had launched an attack in 2016 while residents were asleep, writes The Guardian, following Periscope.
Twenty - four other residents and two workers were injured in what had been described in Japan as the worst mass murder after the second world war.
The 30-year-old had admitted the massacre during hearing hearings in the Yokohama district but was acquitted, with his lawyers claiming he was suffering from a psychiatric disorder during the time of the attack.
His sentence involves death by hanging by rope.
Weematsu had told the court last month that he would not appeal against his sentence.
Police had said that Wematsu, described by neighbors as kind and helpful, was motivated by his intense hatred of disabled people. He told the police that society would be better off if disabled people disappeared. /Periscope
