Lindsay Ann Hawker Murder. Tatsuya Ichihashi, the Japanese man accused of the rape and murder of his English teacher, British woman Lindsay Ann Hawker, wrote a book released Wednesday in which he details his 2-and-a-half years on the run and the lengths to which he went to escape detection. Hawker, 22, was found dead in a sand-filled bathtub on the balcony of Ichihashi's apartment in Chiba, east of Tokyo, in March 2007.
