BEIJING, May 1 (Xinhua) -- The final suspect in the 1995 deadly nerve gas attack on the Tokyo subway was jailed for life on Thursday, for his part in a crime that shocked the world.
Katsuya Takahashi, a 57-year-old former member of the Aum Supreme Truth cult, served as a driver for one of the cultists who released sarin gas in the subway system, killing 13 people and injuring some 6,000.
Takahashi denied knowledge about the planned gas attack. But Tokyo District Court's presiding judge ruled that he DID know about what would become Japan's worst terrorist attack, an incident that sowed panic throughout the nation.
Police captured Takahashi in June 2012 after he had been on the run for 17 years, bringing to an end the hunt for suspects in the case.
