Abe, 67, was pronounced dead by doctors at the Nara Medical University Hospital at 5:03 p.m local time on Friday, just over five hours after being shot while delivering a campaign speech in front of a small crowd on a street.<\/p>\n<p>The Nara District Court approved a psychiatric evaluation for Tetsuya Yamagami on Saturday to comprehend his mental state at the time of the murder. The results of the examination will determine Yamagami\u2019s criminal responsibility. Yamagami has expressed animosity towards a religious group known as the Unification Church of which he believed the former prime minister to be a member of.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI thought that former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi contributed to the expansion of the group and I thought about killing his grandson, former Prime Minister Abe,\u201d Yamagami told investigators.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>NHK and Kyodo News Agency have also reported that Yamagami said his mother was involved with the group. The suspect\u2019s mother was a member of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, widely known as the Unification Church, said the church\u2019s Japan office chairman Tomihiro Tanaka in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect was never a member of the church, while his mother has been a member who attended church events about once a month, the statement said. Tanaka added that the organization will cooperate with investigators if asked to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Abe is reportedly set to\u00a0receive a state funeral on September 27.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/man-who-attacked-lee-zeldin-arrested-on-federal-charges\/\">Man Who Attacked Lee Zeldin Arrested On Federal Charges<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reacts during a press conference at the prime minister official residence in Tokyo on Aug. 28, 2020.
