samuraisteve, totally right pal. And we should be asking, why have they only just now crawled out from under the rock they have been hiding under for the last 2 years ?? It's a bit sick to me. They should have made themselves available to the media ever since he…

I guess all the investigation experts from other countries, whose police can not provide even minimum security to commoners, are logged on to JapanToday to criticize the JCops

I have been living in Japan for a looong time. Therefore 'my' cops who are responsible for my security and protection are…

LFRAgain, yet another Chiba police force excuser. And let me repeat it to those posters here who do have a brain LFR, this is not wonderful news. It's a damn sad story for a family all the way back in England who lost their daughter to this monster. It's a…

but I really feel for his parents. Not sure how many people here watched the interview, but they really seem like decent people

3.You think that there should be cops at every train, bus, and ferry station?

Himajin, after key information published this morning that Ichihashi had been living and working in Osaka, even my 3 year old would have had the sense to post 1 junior cop down at Osaka ferry port.…

I just get sick of reading the constant dribble here about how they should have done this, should have done that posted by people who evidently don't even watch the news, seeing how little they know about the case....

And Himajin, I am sick of your dribble trying to defend…

Let me be the first to congratulate the JCops! (Or let this be the first time I've ever had anything good to say about the JCops) And I sincerely mean it... Bravo Zulu JCops!

This is a relief for the Hawker family. Not good news, as Lindsay Hawker is not here anymore and because it took over 2 years to get him. A few important points for the Japanese government and the Japanese public to digest:-

when renegotiating with a good but not essential player you would like to keep but not at any price.

A player who won the Yankees first World Series for 9 years (let's not mince our words here, without Matsui's input the Yanks may not have won this Series either), but…
