Suspect in murder of British woman administered nutrition
CHIBA, Japan, Nov. 17 Kyodo - Tatsuya Ichihashi, the prime suspect in the 2007 murder of 22-year-old English language teacher Lindsay Hawker, was administered nutritional supplements Tuesday as he has not eaten anything since his arrest on Nov. 10, investigative sources said.
The Chiba prefectural police called a doctor to Gyotoku police station in Chiba
where Ichihashi, 22, is being held to administer nutritional supplements to
him, fearing that he may become ill if he continues to eat nothing, the sources
said.
They said Ichihashi has remained silent about the allegation that he abandoned
Hawker's body on the balcony of his apartment in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, in
March 2007 -- the technical grounds on which he was arrested.
Ichihashi was seized Nov. 10 at Osaka port in western Japan by police officers
who were tipped off that a man resembling the photo of Ichihashi on a wanted
poster was waiting at a ferry terminal.
