MIAMI (AP) — A cult leader linked to a string of mutilation murders in the 1980s was released from federal prison and returned to Miami Tuesday after serving nearly 11 years of his 18-year sentence.
Yahweh Ben Yahweh paid a fine of more than $16,000 required for his release on parole from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
He arrived at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport Tuesday, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported. Yahweh had been held in New York while his attorney fought his conditions of parole.
