The mother of the man arrested for the killing of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe was a member of the Unification Church, the church’s Japan head said on Monday.
Tetsuya Yamagami, an unemployed 41-year-old, was identified by police as the suspect who approached Abe and opened fire during a campaign speech on Friday, an attack that was captured on video and shocked a nation where gun violence is rare.
