Tokyo - Japan's police yesterday arrested eight disciples of a bizarre cult whose members kept a mummified body at an airport hotel and insisted it was alive. They accused the cult of ignoring doctors' advice and taking the 66-year-old victim from a western Japan hospital, where he was being treated for a brain haemorrhage. The cult leader allegedly administered his own "Shakty Pat" treatment, which involved repeated pounding of the head, said a police spokesman.
