Murder accused fugitive had plastic surgery, police say
Tatsuya Ichihashi, who has been on the run since 2007 since Hawker’s battered body was found in a bathtub full of sand at his flat in Tokyo, had plastic surgery to help him vanish, officers believe.
The suspect, now 30, is thought to have invested in cheek implants and lip-thinning treatments in an operation a fortnight ago.
