Polls opened Sunday in Japan's upper house elections, just two days after former prime minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated while on the campaign trail. The election, which is expected to see Abe's ruling Liberal Democratic Party increase its majority, has been overshadowed by the murder. But Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and other politicians have insisted the shock killing would not halt the democratic process. IMAGES
Mourners in Japan's Nara place flowers in honour of former prime minister Shinzo Abe at the place where he was gunned down while campaigning. The murder of Japan's best-known politician rattled the country and sent shockwaves around the world, particularly given the nation's low levels of violent crime and strict gun laws. IMAGES
