Murderer of ex-Prime Minister of Japan was charged

The Japanese prosecutor’s office charged the murder and illegal possession of weapons to the unemployed Tatsuya Yamagami, who shot the ex-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the summer of last year, the newspaper Yomiuri writes.

January 10, the Yamagi was recognized as sane at the end of the forced psychiatric examination, which was carried out since July last year.

The ex-Prime Minister of Japan was killed on July 8, 2022 during a rally performance. After his arrest, the 41-year-old Tetsuya firing at him said that his motive was the desire to avenge Shinzo Abe for the alleged connection with the religious organization “Church of the Association”, which ruined the attacker’s family.
