July 6, 2021 (Mainichi Japan)
The Supreme Court is seen in Tokyo s Chiyoda Ward in this Feb. 10, 2019 file photo. (Mainichi/Kazuo Motohashi) TOKYO (Kyodo) Japan s top court has ruled that the second daughter of executed AUM Shinrikyo cult founder Shoko Asahara can take possession of his cremated remains and hair, putting an end to a long-running family row over his ashes. The ruling finalized the decisions of lower courts. The public security authority is closely monitoring how the remains will be treated once they are handed over to the 40-year-old daughter, amid concern the ashes and hair will become objects of worship for followers of Aleph, a successor group of AUM Shinrikyo.
