The Japanese media are often tight lipped on information they don't think the public need to know yet, they did this even with Abe's death, simply reporting that he had been shot and sent to hospital for hours after they had know he was already dead, it is likely that they will sit on any information about the killer until the police give them the go ahead.
Japanese politics are volatile, it has pretty much been a one party state since the 50's but a bit like the UK at the moment they tend to topple PM's every couple of years, Abe was in power for 8 and stepped down rather than was forced, there had been talk about him coming back again as well. He was behind remillitarising the country to be able to face China, making the constitution mean that Japan could go to war in defence of it's allies and increasing foreign tourism. His economic policies helped keep the Japanese gdp stable in a time of massive aging, unfortunately he did this through encouraging women to enter the workforce which has deflated wages, meant less job security and made raising children more of an economic burden in practice, despite this he managed to raise birth rates somewhat, with Japan now having the highest of any developed east-asian nation. Before he was PM he was also involved in getting Japanese abducted and held in North Korea for decades back to Japan, unfortunately that is an on going situation as it's likely that North Korea is still holding Japanese who they claim are dead or don't have, knowing them they might also have lost the bodies in mass graves which is why they seem unable to send genuine remains.
Abe was the biggest Japanese political mover of this century to date and one of the most prominent democratic leaders of the country ever, he was not just some ex-PM. His loss is the loss of the whole nation.
