Gunman who killed ex-Japanese PM Shinzo Abe sentenced to life in prison
A court in Japan has sentenced the gunman man charged with killing former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to life in prison. The 45-year-old has pleaded guilty. The trial had centred how much weight should be given to the extent to which Tetsuya Yamagami himself had suffered as the child of a follower of a controversial religious organisation. The issue is said to be central to his motivation for committing the crime three and-a-half years ago. CNA’s senior correspondent Michiyo Ishida reports.
