Hearing for Abe murder suspect cancelled over suspicious object

TOKYO: A pre-trial hearing for the man accused of killing Japan’s former prime minister Shinzo Abe was cancelled Monday after a suspicious object was delivered to the court, local media said.

Nara District Court could not immediately confirm the reports by outlets including public broadcaster NHK, with TV footage showing people gathered outside the evacuated building in western Japan.

The suspicious item was reportedly a roughly square-shaped cardboard box about 33 centimetres (13 inches) long, sealed with adhesive tape, which set off a metal detector.

Tetsuya Yamagami had been due to appear on Monday afternoon for a hearing over Abe’s broad-daylight assassination that shocked the world in July last year.

The 42-year-old faces charges of murder and violation of arms control laws and could face the death penalty if convicted.

He reportedly targeted Abe — Japan’s best-known politician and longest-serving prime minister — over his ties to the Unification Church, the global sect whose members are sometimes referred to as “Moonies”.

Yamagami is believed to have resented the church over large donations his mother made that bankrupted his family.

Shinzo Abe was shot with an apparently homemade gun while speaking at a campaign event in Nara on July 8.

The circumstances of the assassination have ignited scrutiny of what authorities admitted were security shortcomings and led to the resignation of Japan’s police chief.

Before the cancelled hearing, Yamagami underwent a psychiatric assessment which ended in January.

He had spent three years in the navy following a childhood reportedly marred by his father’s suicide and his mother’s alleged neglect and devotion to church activities.

Details of his upbringing have stoked anger in Japan against the Unification Church and garnered Yamagami sympathy, with supporters showing support for him through donations and a petition calling for leniency.

The Unification Church was founded in Korea in the 1950s by self-styled messiah Sun Myung Moon.

In a letter published by Japanese media, Yamagami accused Shinzo Abe of supporting the sect and expressed resentment towards the group.

The church has confirmed his mother’s membership but refused to specify the amount of donations she made, which reports said may have totalled around 100 million yen ($700,000).

Less than a year after Shinzo Abe’s death, in April, a man hurled an explosive device towards Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida shortly before he was due to deliver a campaign speech in the city of Wakayama.

The leader escaped unharmed, but the fact that an assailant was able to throw the device at such close range prompted renewed criticism of security arrangements in Japan.

Man buys old leather chair for $50, ends up selling for over $100,000

Justin Miller, a content creator based in Los Angeles, stumbled upon an intriguing high-backed chair while browsing Facebook Marketplace for vintage items.

The worn high-backed chair that a TikTok user bought on Facebook Marketplace for $50 just sold at a Sotheby’s auction for over $100,000, netting the creator tens of thousands of dollars in profit.

According to Miller, he spotted the chair on Facebook Marketplace during one of his daily searches for vintage finds.

“I’ve watched probably every single episode of Antiques Roadshow,” Miller said. “I live, breathe antiques. I’m not an expert, but like I have a good eye so I saw it and I was like ‘That looks like a really interesting chair.’ ”

Eager to authenticate his find, Miller contacted Sotheby’s, a renowned auction house. Their experts identified the chair as a rare, high-back wing chair designed by Frits Henningsen, a Danish furniture designer. Dating back to 1935, the chair, crafted from leather and oak, was estimated to be one of only a few dozen known examples in existence.

Miller said he spent over $1,000 to ship the chair to Sotheby’s and paid $3,000 to make the extensive repairs.

Anticipation mounted as the chair was put up for auction at Sotheby’s, with initial estimates ranging from $30,000 to $50,000. However, the bids quickly skyrocketed, surpassing all expectations.

In a TikTok video documenting the auction, Miller’s astonished reaction captures the chair’s remarkable ascent in value.

The chair ultimately sold for nearly $108,000 after fees. Miller expects to make more than $70,000 off the find but says he’s not quitting his day job and that, after taxes, the money won’t change his lifestyle.

He plans to continue sharing his budget-friendly design tips on TikTok, while still scouring Facebook Marketplace for future hidden gems.

Hina Bayat schools trolls criticizing her work after husband’s demise

Veteran actor of Pakistani dramas, Hina Bayat expressed her disappointment in people who judged her for resuming professional commitments after the demise of her husband earlier this year.

Watch ARY News live on live.arynews.tv

In a recent outing on ARY Digital’s morning show ‘Good Morning Pakistan’ with host Nida Yasir, Bayat broke down into tears recalling the mean comments she received from social users when she got back to her shoot after the untimely demise of her husband.

Bayat mentioned that she was doing a serial with director Haseeb Hasan, which she was pushed to do by her husband. “I came back to work because he forced me to do so,” she shared adding that Hasan and her husband Roger encouraged her to sign the project, keeping her unaware of the filming duration.

“It was an incredibly challenging period for me as I was juggling hospital visits and managing various responsibilities, such as arranging blood donations while also working,” the veteran added.

She continued to explain, “However, when my husband Roger passed away, after about a week, since the drama was on-air, I heard someone discussing the drama serial. At that moment, I instantly remembered that it was on-air and there is still work pending. I called the assistant director and asked about the pending work.”

Bayat mentioned that even the AD was surprised by her courage and strength in the time of grief.

“I went back to work. Because this is what I have learned from my loved ones. No one should face any difficulty or damage due to you.”

With her voice breaking, Bayat recalled, “And people are so cruel. How do you know what someone is going through? You simply put out questions. ‘Have you completed your iddat? Look how she’s dressed up. What pain would she feel at her husband’s passing?’ What do you know? I know my work is my worship and faith. God has given me a responsibility.”

“I don’t have any complaints with Allah or my loved ones. But I am a little upset with my people,” she concluded, urging people to not pass judgements on public figures just because social media exists.

“Please understand that a person has to move on and live on, within the confines of religious boundaries. The mourning period also has certain rules and regulations.”

For the unversed, Hina Khawaja’s husband Roger Dawood Bayat, a business personality at a UAE-based Conglomerate, passed away in January this year after a years-long battle with cancer.
