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.
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

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.
