Doomsday cult leader Shoko Asahara known for the Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway is executed by hanging at the age of 63 in Tokyo Detention House, Tokyo, Katsushika, Kantō, Japan.

He's also considered a cult leader and is currently active as a member of Takayuki no Shiren, an organisation which is known as Satanists (the Shinto sect) for its supernatural and highly controversial teachings on the teachings of Satan. In July, 1998 Asahara (one of many members of Takayuki no Shiren) is put to death by the local government under a warrant by the Tokyo District Police with the Shinsei Police. The authorities claim he was involved in the killing of a security police Officer at the request of a Satanist affiliated group. He is also believed to have been the catalyst for the execution of a young man who was in his 10s when he was attacked by a group of Satanists who were then running a police station in Tokyo. The death of Asahara was witnessed by members of the Shinsei Police on the 26th of Aug. 1998 when Taro Yamamade, the younger of Asahara's four children - Tari and Mee - were thrown from a building by the members of Takayuki no Shiren. Taro, the younger of Takayuki no Shiren's members, had died from his injuries.
