Gunman in Abe shooting saw his family and dreams crumble

Tetsuya Yamagami, the gunman who faces the death penalty for killing former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe, had broken dreams and a broken family.

His father died by suicide in 1984, when Yamagami was four years old. His mother, so sucked into the Unification Church, bankrupted herself after donating at least 100 million yen (S$1 million) - yet she kept giving.
