Japanese prosecutors have charged the man suspected of the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last July, the suspect having been declared fit to stand trial after a long psychiatric expertise, several Japanese media reported on Friday January 13.
Prosecuted in particular for murder, Tetsuya Yamagami, 42, was arrested immediately after the events in Nara (western Japan), where the former Japanese leader was giving a speech at an election rally when he was shot dead.
