The suspected murderer of Shinzo Abe and Japan’s Ex-Prime Minister has stated why he killed him.

According to the accused, he believed the former Japanese prime minister was linked to a religious group he had blamed for breaking up his family and causing his mother’s bankruptcy, police said.

41-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami told police he intended to attack the leader of the group which authorities declined to name, newsmen reported.

“My mother got wrapped up in a religious group and I resented it,” he said, according to reports.

Police also revealed that Yamagami, an unemployed former member of the Japanese Maritime Self-defense Force, spent months planning the attack, and hit up other locations where Abe campaigned, including the city of Okayama more than 120 miles from Nara on Thursday.

He told police that he had not targeted the politician because he disagreed with his politics.

Yamagami had considered a bomb attack before changing for a gun, according to public broadcaster NHK.

Police found during their search in his home on Friday, items believed to be explosives and homemade guns, including ones similar to the weapon used in the attack, newsmen explained.

Abe’s body , on the other hand, returned to his home in Tokyo Saturday as the country continued to receive condolences from leaders around the world.
