Tortured and beaten

Leslie Hawker, the young British woman who was murdered by Tatsuya Ichihashi earlier this year, may have been bound, beaten, and tortured for 1 1/2 days, according to her father:

"Bill Hawker, who lives in central England, told The Times of London it was a "truly sadistic murder.

"It was a horrific murder. There was literally not a square inch of her body that wasn't badly bruised."

The Japanese "police" however, have not found the sleazeball yet. Perhaps they are too busy detaining and questioning British residents of Japan who violate local garbage ordinances.
