According to Japanese media on January 29, nearly half a century after fleeing incognito, Satoshi Kirishima, a member of the extremist organization "East Asia Anti-Japanese Armed Front", who was listed as a wanted criminal by Japan, surrendered and died of illness in the hospital.
Between 1974 and 1975, Satoshi Kirishima's organization carried out a series of incidents and launched a number of attacks on Japanese companies and entities, including the August 30, 1974 incident in front of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries headquarters, which killed 8 people and injured 165. Satoshi Kirishima was wanted in April 1974 after placing and detonating a *** in a building in Ginza, Tokyo.
For nearly half a century, Japan** has continued to post wanted notices at stations and other places, but some clues claiming to have seen Satoshi Kirishima or people similar to him have been ruled out one by one. The proceedings against Satoshi Kirishima have been suspended for now, as the other alleged accomplices have fled overseas.
Investigators recently revealed that Satoshi Kirishima, alias "Hiroshi Uchida", went to a hospital in Kamakura City this month due to physical discomfort and was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer. On January 25, he suddenly told the medical staff that he had been using a fake identity, and his real identity was the wanted criminal Satoshi Kirishima, and at the last moment of his life, he "wanted to die as Satoshi Kirishima".
The hospital immediately called the police and planned to confirm his identity through DNA analysis, but it was very likely that he was Satoshi Kirishima because he revealed some details that only he knew. ** said that Satoshi Kirishima has been incognito and has worked for a construction company in Kanagawa Prefecture for decades, and neither employers nor colleagues know that he may be a fugitive.
Currently, an investigation is underway into how he settled in Kanagawa Prefecture and if anyone helped him.
