| Cult guru
indicted (03/15/2001)
Japanese prosecutors yesterday formally charged the guru of a bizarre
cult with murdering a follower whose mummified body was found in
a hotel room last year.
Prosecutors in Chiba prefecture, northeast of Tokyo, indicted Koji
Takahashi, leader of a cult called "Life Space," in connection
with the death of a 66-year-old follower, Japanese media said.
The mummified body of the follower was found in a hotel near Tokyo's
Narita airport in November.
