Lindsay Hawker was a fun-loving woman, who was an important member of a loving family when she was brutally murdered in March 2007. A teaching post at the Koiwa International Language School run by the Nova organisation brought her to Tokyo.

The beautiful 22-year-old had her whole life in front of her and she had recalled in phone calls home of her fondness for Japan and the good time she was having.

But when Lindsay failed to answer her family's calls or return home to her Tokyo flat they realised something was wrong and alerted police.

Lindsay's badly beaten body was discovered at the apartment of Tatsuya Ichihashi, a Japanese man that she may have been giving English lessons to at the end of March.

She was discovered buried in a bath of sand on the balcony of the apartment in Ichikawa, Chiba, an area of Tokyo .but despite the presence of nine police officers Ichihashi was able to escape and is now on the run.

Lindsay's family are heartbroken by her brutal death and above all they want justice for Lindsay, who didn't deserve to die in this way, her death has left a gaping hole in the Hawker family and in the life of her beloved boyfriend Ryan Garside.

Ichihashi , the only suspect in the case, has not been seen since he escaped from police and despite 'Wanted' posters appearing across Tokyo he has not yet been caught.
