TOKYO: The mother of the man who fatally shot former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe donated about 100 million yen (26.7 million baht) to the Unification Church, the man’s uncle said on Friday.
The assailant, 41-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami, has told investigators he believes Abe was linked to the church and that he resents the organisation because his mother’s donations to it ruined his family’s finances.
