Former Prime Minister Abe was shot dead during a speech in Nara City, and the suspect was arrested more than a year ago in March last year. According to an interview with the police, it seems that he was preparing for the case by borrowing it separately.
On the 8th of this month, police arrested Tetsuya Yamagami (41), an unemployed person living in Nara City, on suspicion of murder in a case where former Prime Minister Abe, who was giving a speech in Nara City, was shot dead by a gun. I'm investigating.
It is known that Yamagami made not only guns but also gunpowder himself, and rented it to a garage in Nara prefecture from November to February last year as a place to dry gunpowder.
Furthermore, he stated that he had rented a room in an apartment house in Nara City separately from his home to dry the gunpowder for about half a year from March last year to September last year. , I learned anew from the interview with the police.
Yamagami explained that he had moved to the garage because the rent for this room was high, so police are investigating that he had been preparing for more than a year.
On the other hand, according to the investigators, the prosecution requested the court to "detain the appraisal" to investigate the criminal liability of Mr. Yamagami, and it was approved on the 22nd.
The period is about four months until November 29, and a psychological examination by an expert will be conducted, and the prosecution will decide whether to prosecute based on the results.
