About 10 people — friends of the slain English teacher and their supporters — turned out at Jingubashi Bridge in T-shirts bearing a photo of Ichihashi and distributed leaflets also bearing his image, along with the phrase "We can't sleep until this man gets arrested" and other information about the case. "What we're doing today is just making people aware that they should not allow him (Ichihashi) to get away with this," said Paul Dingwell, the main organizer of the event and a friend of Hawker's, who was a teacher at Nova Corp.
