Why professional killer might have killed previous Japanese Prime Minister
Tetsuya Yamagami, the man blamed for killing previous Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, was apparently inspired by his scorn of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, otherwise called the Unification Church.
Individuals from the Unification Church are at times alluded to by a disparaging saying got from the name of the gathering's organizer — the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who believed himself to be the second happening to Christ.
Japanese police have said that Yamagami let them know he was inspired by animosity toward the strict gathering he faulted for his mom's monetary ruin, while a Tokyo-put together delegate affirmed with respect to Sunday that Yamagami's mom was an individual from the congregation.

Abe didn't have a place with the Unification Church, yet he gave paid talks at chapel related occasions, and Unificationists shaped a solid democratic coalition for Abe's Liberal Democratic Party.
Abe showed up at an occasion facilitated by an association subsidiary with the congregation last September where he conveyed a discourse commending the partner's work towards tranquility on the Korean landmass, as indicated by the congregation's site.
Yamagami accepted Abe had elevated the strict gathering to which his mom made a "enormous gift", Kyodo news office has said, refering to insightful sources.
Tomihiro Tanaka, leader of the Japan part of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, known as the Unification Church, told columnists at a preparation in Tokyo that Yamagami's mom was an individual from the congregation. He didn't give her name.
Tanaka declined to remark on her gifts, refering to the continuous police examination.
The congregation has consented to help out police examinations.
Yamagami's mom previously joined the congregation around 1998 yet quit going to in a period somewhere in the range of 2009 and 2017, Tanaka said.
Around a long time back she restored correspondence with chapel individuals and in the last half year or so has been going to chapel occasions at a recurrence of about one time each month, he said.
The Unification Church was established in South Korea in 1954 by Sun Myung Moon, a self-proclaimed savior and shrill enemy of socialist. It has acquired worldwide media consideration for its mass weddings where it weds huge number of couples all at once.
Moon, who talked familiar Japanese, sent off an enemy of socialist political mission in Japan from late 1960s and fabricated relations with Japanese lawmakers, as per the congregation's distributions.
Moon passed on in 2012. The congregation has around 600,000 individuals in Japan, out of 10 million universally, Tanaka said.
