A police team conducted a three-day manhunt for the man when he failed to turn up for sentencing last week.
He surrendered himself to the team at Korolevu Community Post in Sigatoka yesterday afternoon.
Ravinesh Chand has been sentenced to 14 years imprisonment with a non-parole period of 11 years.
