Wasn't planning on this reply being so long but I started researching stuff. Not familiar with the fandom, so some of my comments might be off. Like some of the other commenters said, a government in exile isn't going to have a high priority on something like this unless there's a huge media storm, so you should probably have a huge media storm.
It seems to me like the most likely way she would be captured is by trying to leave Japan or enter a different country, possibly captured by interpol agents if the government in exile sent out an alert.
Something that would effect the overall story: South Korea and Japan do not have very good relations, there's a lot of tension from WWII still there. The Korean government is probably going to be fairly uncooperative and going to begrudge every bit of assistance that they give. In fact choosing to set up the government in South Korea was probably a difficult decision. I'm not sure what the circumstances are that led to Japan's problems, but most of the assistance for refugees etc would actually be from the UN and some from the USA (since Japan and the USA are close allies).
For housing her in prison, I can see her being put in a Korean prison temporarily, possibly in solitaire, and then one or two world governments volunteering to house and then extradite her when Japan is prepared to prosecute, depending on how she and her crimes are viewed in the media. Countries who do not have the death penalty and want to prevent her from being executed may volunteer and stipulate that the death penalty be taken off the table if/when they extradite (I remember this happening in the past, though I don't remember the specific country). Either way the process would have a lot of bureaucracy and take a long time. If you would like to keep her in Korea, she would probably be kept separate from the general Korean prison population and the Japanese government would have to scrounge up and/or appoint a Japanese Judge pretty quickly in order to appease the Korean government.
I don't know if this is something you were wondering, but I wasn't sure, and I looked a little into the UN court system, and no she wouldn't fall under their jurisdiction.
A sidenote: I'm not sure how soon into the story she's going to be captured, if you have detail of her living in post apocalyptic Japan she'll probably encounter a couple different reactions from the other refugees: mostly fear, possibly hate or disgust depending on what kind of serial killer she is i.e does she target children, people who kind or deserve it, is she a rapist... etc. People are either going to want to stay out of her way, try and ingratiate themselves with her for protection, or try and kill her or get her captured.
Thanks! Oh yes, there is definitely a media storm. I settled on South Korea in part because it's one of the physically closest countries and so probably one of the easiest for people fleeing by boat to reach.
