KAUHAJOKI killer Matti Saari, 22, bought his weapon from the same place in Jokela as Tuusula killer Pekka Auvinen, 18, it has been revealed tonight (TURUN SANOMAT). Speculation grows that the pair may have communicated on the internet.
The other mystery is, who filmed the Saari video? A second person is being sought.
In the chilling video narrative preceding the massacre, Saari claims that the world needed his "Walther" - a reference to his hand-gun make.
---------------------
POLICE are investigating reports that cold-blooded killer, Matti Juhani Saari, who shot dead 10 of his classmates, most of them female, before killing himself, may have had a direct contact with Jokela high school killer, Pekka Erik Auvinen.
Saari left behind notes in which he is alleged to have written that he had been planning the massacre for SIX years.
Police tonight a facing intense criticism for allowing Saari to contiune possessing a hand gun after arresting him the day before the shootings for uploading an explicit video onto YouTube in which he "copy-cats" Virgina Tech High Scholl Killer Cho Seung Hui and Pekka Erick Auvinen by pointing a handgun menacingly at the camera.
Detectives believe gunman Matti Saari, who killed ten people at a college in the town of Kauhajoki, may have had contact with the killer of eight people at a school in Jokela last November.
They are examining email and telephone records and suggestions the guns for both massacres could have come from the same shop.
Tuesday's shooting was an almost carbon copy of that in November. Pekka Eric Auvinen, 18, also posted warnings on YouTube.
Both gunmen shot themselves and died later in hospital.
A source told Sky News: "It is something the police are looking at very closely because they believe there could have been a link or some contact between the two men."
Police have revealed that notes left behind by Saari at his flat in Kauhajoki showed his "hatred of humankind" and signs he had planned the killings for some time.
