| Lindsay Ann Hawker |
Lindsay Hawker was born on December 30, 1984 in Coventry, West Midlands as the middle child of three daughters; her sisters are Lisa and Louise. She moved to Japan in October 2006 to teach English at the Koiwa branch of Nova in Tokyo, which was Japan's largest private English conversation school. Her family are from Brandon, a Warwickshire village outside Coventry.
She was an alumna of the University of Leeds, where she studied biology and had achieved a first-class honours degree, graduating in 2006. She was popular and outgoing; although she had a view to studying for a Master's, she opted to teach English for a year in Japan. She shared her accommodation with two other female teachers, one from Australia, the other from Canada. On the day she disappeared, her family became distressed due to her lack of contact - she had used a variety of media, including e-mail, Skype, and telephone to regularly stay in contact with her family during her time there.
Lindsay Ann Hawker was a 22-year-old British citizen who was killed in Japan in early 2007. The man seen fleeing the apartment where she was killed, Tatsuya Ichihashi, was wanted by police for abandonment of a body. On 10 November 2009, it was reported by Japanese news media as well as BBC News that Ichihashi had been apprehended by Japanese police.
