    The family of murder victim Lindsay Ann Hawker has once again come to Japan to spread awareness about the failure of police to track down murderer Tatsuya Ichihashi. Her father spoke to the press after meeting with the police:

    After the meeting, Mr Hawker said: “We have met with the new head of the investigation, Superintendent Ito, and we are encouraged that he is thinking of new initiatives to catch Ichihashi.

    ‘ In Japan, if you’re wanted for a crime, after a certain amount of time if you don’t come forward or you are not found, it’s written off. ’

    “He has just launched a campaign using a life-size cut-out of Ichihashi with his voice recording and already it’s producing fresh calls to the incident room which we find encouraging.”
