Suspected killer of Japan’s former prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has admitted that he shot the politician stressing that he held a grudge against an organisation he believed Abe was connected.
Senior police officers in the western region of Nara, where the shooting took place, named the suspect as Tetsuya Yamagami.
Police declined to give details of the particular organisation mentioned by the suspect, saying investigations were ongoing.
Yamagami, who claimed that he had used a handmade gun, was pictured at the scene holding a large boxy black object that appeared to have two barrels.
