Book by Ann Hawker’s killer set for big screen

A BOOK written by the Japanese man who raped and killed young teacher Lindsay Ann Hawker is to be made into a movie, the producer said.

Tatsuya Ichihashi spent more than two-and-a-half years on the run after the brutal 2007 killing and even had plastic surgery to evade capture.

He was finally caught in November 2009 and was sentenced to life imprisonment in July. He has appealed the sentence.
