for the past years Ichihashi back the in news. Why? it because he written a book about his life on the run and hit in the bookstore in japan.

While Tatsuya Ichihashi, who will likely face a lay judge trial this year, has said publishing of the book is an expression of “contrition” for what he did, he does not describe the details of the murder or his motives, the sources said. Ichihashi is hoping to give any royalties from the book to the family of the murdered 22-year-old English teacher or use it for public good, according to his lawyer. Publishing the book is “an act he decided to take after pondering sincerely about what he can do,” the lawyer said. A representative for the Hawker family has said they are “disgusted” to see Ichihashi, who has yet to stand trial, write a book and that what the family has only wanted is “justice for Lindsay.”

In the book, he says he traveled around from the northern prefecture of Aomori through the southwestern prefecture of Okinawa by train and ferry after fleeing from police officers in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, in March 2007 until he was caught in the city of Osaka in November 2009.

The book catch the attention of the reader and also the commentators in Japaneses tv. One of the amazing and most surprising about Ichihashi book is how he survive in many years and month by eating fish, snakes and fruits.
