It has been a week since the death of former Prime Minister Abe during a speech in Nara City on the 8th of this month.
During this time, the suspect stated in detail his motives and circumstances, and after the police sought resentment from religious groups, he was investigating the case, assuming that former Prime Minister Abe had a close relationship.
On the other hand, we are rushing to verify the security problem that could not prevent the killing of the former Prime Minister.
Former Prime Minister Abe, who was giving a cheering speech in front of a station in Nara City, was shot dead at around 11:30 am on the 8th of this month during the Upper House election.
Police have arrested Tetsuya Yamagami, a 41-year-old unemployed person in Nara City, and are proceeding with an investigation on suspicion of murder.
Over the past week, Yamagami has responded to the investigation in detail, explaining his motives, how to make guns, and pre-incident actions.
According to the statements made so far, the police have raised a grudge against the religious group that the mother has received, and although they planned to kill the executives, they did not have the opportunity to attack, so it is said that this group and Prime Minister Abe have a close relationship. I think I made a belief and targeted it.
Meanwhile, the police are proceeding with verification work on the security situation at that time in parallel with the investigation.
A verification team set up by the National Police Agency was dispatched to the Nara Prefectural Police Headquarters on the 14th, and began interviewing police officers who were guarding and guarding.
The verification team is urgently identifying issues as to why the unprecedented situation in which an experienced Prime Minister was killed during the speech could not be prevented, and urgently taking measures in the future.
