Pekka-Eric Auvinen, 18, killed seven fellow pupils and the headmistress at Jokela High School in Tuusula, 30 miles north of the capital Helsinki and around 200 miles from Kauhajoki where the most recent shootings took place.
Auvinen turned the gun on himself while surrounded by heavily armed police in November last year and died later in hospital. He carried out the killings after uploading a film titled Jokela High School Massacre to YouTube, the video-sharing website.
The film had similarities to the video posted to an American television station by Seung-Hui Cho, the student who killed 32 people at Virginia Tech in April last year.
Auvinen's other contributions to YouTube glorified the gunmen from the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Colorado and other serial killers.
The killer tried to set the building on fire before killing himself. Detectives found fuel smeared on the walls and floors of the High School.
Auvinen, a loner and a member of Helsinki Shooting Club who acquired his weapon legally, was described as being "very angry at society". He carried out the shootings while armed with 500 bullets and a .22 calibre Sig Sauer mosquito pistol bought three weeks before he ran amok at his former school.
He fired 69 bullets before hiding in a ground floor bathroom and turning the gun on himself. A suicide note was found at his home in Jokela.

The previous Finnish School Killer was a Channer who wrote in his Farewell Message "I did it for the lulz". I bet this one is a Nihilistic Sicko Channer too.
