Dad wants killer to be given 'heaviest punishment'
The father of a British teacher strangled and raped in Japan has appealed for her killer to be given the stiffest sentence possible.
Lindsay Hawker, 22, was found dead at Tatsuya Ichihashi's apartment in Ichikawa City, east of Tokyo, in March 2007.
Miss Hawker's father Bill today asked for Ichihashi to receive the "heaviest punishment" available under Japanese law when he gave evidence to the trial in Chiba District Court.
The suspect was caught after it was disclosed he underwent cosmetic surgery to change his appearance at a clinic in Osaka.
A verdict in the case is expected by July 21.
