Tatsuya Ichihashi Performed Plastic Surgery To Evade Police

In the book "Until the Arrest," Ichihashi, who was apprehended in 2009 after a protracted nationwide manhunt, confesses to killing Hawker. However, he does not go into depth about the crime or his motivations. Instead, he describes his life in general, including his travels across the nation while constantly fearing arrest and his obsession with cosmetic surgery.

Ichihashi won't enter a plea until the trial has started, despite the fact that police claim he has admitted to abusing Hawker and that she died as a result of her injuries. The information in the book is limited to what Ichihashi has already disclosed to the authorities. He might be executed if found guilty of murder.

You'll hear about almost no self-surgery that is not done for medical reasons. To avoid being charged with murder, Tatsuya Ichihashi underwent his procedure. He altered his appearance by using a box cutter to remove moles, scissors to reduce the size of his lips, and thread to patch up his nose in an effort to make it appear smaller.

When his own efforts failed, he eventually went to a real plastic surgeon for a nose job, but the doctor later observed that his appearance had barely changed. After killing Lindsay Hawker in 2007, Ichihashi fled to Japan. He wasn't finally apprehended for over two years.
