Lindsay Ann Hawker (30 December 1984 – 26 March 2007) was a 22-year-old British teacher who was murdered in Japan in early 2007 by Tatsuya Ichihashi (市橋 達也, Ichihashi Tatsuya), a 28-year-old Japanese man from Chiba Prefecture. Ichihashi was seen fleeing his apartment,[1] and police sought him for the murder of Hawker and the abandonment of her corpse.

The police arrested Ichihashi on 10 November 2009.[2][3] On 5 July 2011, Ichihashi confessed to killing Hawker, stating that he smothered her to prevent her from screaming while he raped her.[4] He was sentenced to life imprisonment on 21 July 2011.[5]

Background
Lindsay Hawker
Lindsay Hawker was born to Bill and Julia Hawker, who lived in Coventry, England; her family came from the nearby village of Brandon, Warwickshire.[6] She was schooled at King Henry VIII School, Coventry, and studied biology at the University of Leeds, where she achieved a first-class honours degree, graduating in 2006.[7] Although she planned to pursue a Master's degree, she taught English for a year in Japan starting in October 2006 at the Koiwa, Tokyo, branch of Nova — then Japan's largest private English conversation school.[8] Hawker shared her accommodation with two other foreign female teachers.[9] On the day she disappeared, her family became distressed because of her lack of contact; she had used e-mail, Skype, and telephone calls to maintain frequent contact with her family.[1]
