The trial of Tetsuya Yamagami commenced with the accused pleading guilty to the charges of murdering former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Yamagami, aged 45, acknowledged all charges presented by prosecutors during the trial's opening session on Tuesday, as reported by NHK.

Yamagami is charged with murder and violations of arms control laws. The incident involved the use of a handmade weapon. The trial will have 17 additional hearings, concluding with a verdict expected on Sun, Jan 21, 2024.

The assassination occurred on Fri, Jul 8, 2022, in Nara during Abe's election campaign speech. Yamagami's alleged motive was linked to his discontent over connections between Abe's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Unification Church, a South Korean religious group.

Yamagami reportedly harbored resentment towards the Unification Church due to his mother's significant financial donations, which adversely affected his family's financial stability. Following the shooting, scrutiny increased on the Unification Church and its associations with LDP lawmakers, impacting public support for the ruling party.

On the same day as the trial's opening, LDP leader and Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, alongside visiting United States President Donald Trump, held a summit in Tokyo.
