Slain Brit's family makes appeal

The family of a British woman killed a year ago in Japan appealed to police and the public yesterday for help in finding her suspected killer.

The body of Lindsay Hawker, 22, was found bound with tape and half-buried in a sand-filled bath tub on the balcony of an apartment in Ichikawa, east of Tokyo, exactly a year ago. She was an English teacher at a private language school.
