Ex-member of cult that carried deadly gas attacks on Tokyo subway hands himself in after 16 years on the run

A former member of a Japanese doomsday cult that staged deadly gas attacks on the Tokyo subway in 1995 turned himself in to authorities after more than 16 years on the run.

Makoto Hirata, 46, who has been on a police wanted list since May 1995, showed up at a police station in Tokyo only minutes before the New Year.

He told police he turned himself in because he wanted a sense of closure after being on the run for such a long time.
