Tatsuya Ichihashi raped and murdered English teacher Lindsay Ann Hawker in 2007, evading police for two years and seven months before he was finally cornered and arrested at an Osaka ferry terminal in November 2009. He is currently locked up in a cell, awaiting for trial. Although Ichihashi is claiming this is meant to show remorse for his crime, the Hawker family is understandably angry at the very idea that Ichihashi should be allowed to publish a memoir. Although some commentators on Japanese TV seem to agree, the amount of attention being given to the book is sure to make it a bestseller.
