The Japanese court that was supposed to hold the trial of the alleged killer of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was evacuated on Monday after a suspicious item was found, local media reported.
Tetsuya Yamagami was due to appear in court in Nara, western Japan, this afternoon as part of a preliminary hearing for the murder of the former leader last July, when he was gunned down in the street while on the campaign trail. .
The venue was evacuated after an “unidentified bag” arrived at the courthouse, state broadcaster NHK said, citing police sources. Similar information was reported by other Japanese media.
