Lindsay Hawker's family come to Japan in the continued quest for justice

Lindsay Hawker's entire family have come to Japan for the one-year anniversary (if that's the appropriate word) of Lindsay's murder. The Hawker family hope to urge continued and increased efforts to bring Lindsay's killer to justice.

This excellent article in The Times Online covers the press conference that was held in downtown Tokyo yesterday. The Japanese media is of course covering the news as well (if there is anything of note not found in the English press, it will be translated for this blog).

I was impressed to read that the family have been studying Japanese and that one of Lindsay's sisters, Lisa, spoke in Japanese at the conference. It's a shame that such tragic circumstances forced them to learn such a great language.
