Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot dead at the age of 67.

However, as for which religious group, the report did not specify.

According to foreign media reports such as the Mainichi Shimbun, 41-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami also revealed the motive for the crime, saying that because of his resentment towards a religious group, he discovered Abe had a relationship with the group, and was dissatisfied with him, "I know that former Prime Minister Abe will come. Nara, so I decided to commit a crime." During the interrogation process, Tetsuya Yamagami kept saying some incomprehensible words, and even mentioned the name of a senior religious group and declared that he "wanted to kill him."

It is reported that the local police are currently investigating to confirm whether he has criminal responsibility.
