FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The lower court’s decision to hand out a life sentence was justified as
Ichihashi “continued his life on the run for two years and seven months”
and “even after his arrest, he gave false excuses” for his crime.
Ichihashi’s claim that Hawker’s death was accidental was not credible, the
judge said.
When Hawker went missing in 2007, police went to Ichihashi’s apartment in
Chiba prefecture, near Tokyo, to find her naked body bound at the wrists and
ankles in a bathtub filled with sand on the balcony.
An autopsy showed she died of suffocation, and prosecutors said Ichihashi
strangled her after the rape.
Ichihashi had previously testified that after raping Hawker, he bound her and
spoke to the victim for hours, seeking forgiveness. He said he choked the
teacher to death after covering her mouth to stop her from screaming for
help but he did not mean to take her life.
Ichihashi fled and went on the run, altering his appearance with plastic
surgery and frequently changing jobs before his arrest in November 2009 in
the western city of Osaka.
After his arrest, Ichihashi described his life as a fugitive in the book “Taiho
Sarerumade – Kuuhaku no Ninen Nanakagetsu no Kiroku (Until the Arrest – The
Blank Two Years and Seven Months)”.
He detailed how he travelled across Japan, from a tiny southern Okinawan
island, where he lived off fish and snakes, to Osaka, where he worked on a
construction site.
Ichihashi has previously offered to give any royalties from the book to the
family of the murdered teacher, or to use it for public good. The Hawker
family has declined the offer.
