Japanese Fugitive Surrenders After 17 Years -- But Is Turned Away by Police
Published January 03, 2012| NewsCore
TOKYO -- One of Japan's most wanted men surrendered himself to police on New Year's Eve -- only to be turned away by officials who were convinced he was a prankster.
The arrest of Makoto Hirata, a former member of Japan's Aum Supreme Truth doomsday cult, was reported Sunday but officials failed to mention that the 46-year-old suspect had first been told to leave a major Tokyo police station.
Hirata has been on the run for nearly 17 years for his suspected role in the cult, which was responsible for the 1995 nerve-gas attack on the Tokyo subway that killed 13 people and injured thousands.
