Visiting Japan a year after her slaying, the parents and sisters of Briton Lindsay Ann Hawker voiced disappointment Monday that the fugitive sought in her killing remains at large.

Although "extremely distressed" that Tatsuya Ichihashi was not captured immediately, Bill Hawker, Lindsay's father, emphasized at a Tokyo news conference that "we have not come here to criticize the Japanese police."

"He murdered my daughter, and he might murder again," the father asserted, suggesting the apparently stalled investigation endangers the public at large.
