Shinzo Abe’s body taken to Tokyo as election campaign resumes in shadow of killing
Politicians vow not to let assassination of their longest-serving PM stop democratic process, as tributes continue to pour in
The body of Shinzo Abe has returned to Tokyo as politicians prepared to resume campaigning for Sunday’s upper house elections in the shadow of the assassination of Japan’s longest-serving prime minister.
On Saturday morning, a hearse believed to be carrying the body of Abe accompanied by his wife, Akie, left the hospital in Kashihara where the former prime minister was treated after being shot from behind by a gunman during a campaign speech in the western city of Nara. The hearse was later seen arriving at his residence in Tokyo, national broadcaster NHK reported.
