Very shocking news.

He was a good Prime Minister, helped arrest Japan's decline and took a tough line towards China.

Disagree with someone, fine, but going as far as to kill? Huge shame, he was a good leader. He retired as PM when he knew his health was restricting him, very honorable.
RIP.

Heard the news, was really shock about this... RIP...
