Usually a government in exile doesn't have a judicial system - they're more involved in political and administrative issues such as passports, citizenship and helping citizens of their own country prove identity, plus of course trying to keep cultural and political traditions alive.
To understand what to do with this person, I guess there'd have to be more detail about the political reasons as to why no-one just kills her. Japan does have the death penalty.
Agreed - in a country that's on the verge of collapsing completely, martial law is usually declared, and martial law tends towards the quick-and-dirty forms of justice. They don't have the time, energy or manpower to waste on long-term prisoners when they're needed to keep order and deliver essential services.
Lessee, a quick wiki later... she's a teenage girl, most likely under eighteen at the time of her last murder, so legally speaking the death penalty wouldn't have applied (though that doesn't stop people from trying extrajudicially). The other reasons get further into canon screwiness.
Well, you can probably do what you want with the canon screwiness, but in reality (barring the specific circumstances) they're not going to waste resources on things like fair trial or transporting prisoners when there's much more critical issues.
Depends on the publicity involved. If the case blew up over all the headlines, they may want a trial and stuff to show they are still dedicated to the rule of law.
