It's a no-brainer, as highlighted by WilliB. Without the photo from the cosmetic clinic Ichihashi would have strolled straight through Osaka port and onto the ferry for Okinawa. He may well have got his new passport as well. The idiot at the construction company who lived with Ichihashi for a…

The assistant at the cosmetic surgery should get the lot (it wasn't the surgeon, but an assistant who saw his photo). If it weren't for the clinic assistant letting us all know what Ichihashi looked like now, neither the construction employee (lived and worked with Ichihashi for over a year…

nemo, as you know we are all entitled to our points of view here, whether we agree or not. But when there are people here defending TBS' call to Mr Hawker and filming it live for a scoop and others preaching about what a good job the police have done,…

acuteandchronic, it was a disgraceful display of gutter journalism. I cannot for the life of me believe that someone like you can attempt to justify TBS making a direct call to the father of Lindsay Hawker for the benefit of their own selfish air time. Did it not cross TBS'…

TBS had the 'balls' to make an uncertified call to Mr Hawker and then had the balls to air Mr hawker's emotions for the benefit of their own programming. Sick.

It was TBS who felt they had the right to call Mr Hawker without any confirmation from the police. They aired the whole call for their own selfish needs. Absolutely disgraceful. Just imagine if it hadn't been Ichihashi.

Just wondering, who gave the Japanese media outlet the permission to call Mr Hawker to break the news of Ichihashi's 'apparent' arrest at the time ? The Japanese even filmed the moment. Surely that should not have been permitted and should have been conducted by the police office or the…

So you seem to think that his parents are responsible for the murder? The police can't be everywhere at once. Is there any proof that Ichihashi went to his parent's house?

? Where did I say that ? I said that the police had most information about Ichihashi from the…

I was distracted by my disappointment that you still haven't provided an illuminating thesis outlining precisely how the police could have pursued this case any better, complete with a detailed outline of where and how they specifically failed.

Maybe you could have started by checking photographic records from cosmetic surgery…

Sariri, read the discussions properly before commenting. UnaqiDon claimed that the police created Ichihashi's image. Rubbish. A clinic assistant sent them a photo after his surgery. All the cops did was to hand the picture to the media and then photoshop his beard (even though he had been living amongst…
