Prosecutors halted questioning of Yamagami weeks later in order to examine his mental state around the time of the incident. The prosecutors’ office in Nara, where Abe was killed, did not respond immediately to an AFP request for comment.Yamagami reportedly targeted Abe in the belief that the former premier was linked to the Unification Church. He reportedly resented the church over large donations his mother made to it that left his family bankrupt.
Founded in Korea in 1954 by Sun Myung Moon, the church — whose members are sometimes referred to as “Moonies” — rose to global prominence in the 1970s and 80s.
