this too

That Sutcliffe maniac- looking at that big photo in your link. Venus, even if I didn't now know he was a killer, I would think there was something not right with him. He has dead eyes. I just got a big case of the creeps!

Shock and fear in Ipswich ........from today's BBC online.

This is all very sad. Every victim so far has been hooked on drugs and become prostitues to pay for their habits. Some of the girls have kids......some of the families didn't know what their daughters were doing.....

If my memory serves me right, Sutcliffe murdered his victims over a number of years but this person has murdered probably 5 in a few weeks.

There are reportedly 30 prostitutes in Ipswich....they seem to know or know of each other. My half brother lives in Ipswich...it must be quite shocking and worrying for people who live there....if the murderer is targeting prostitutes NOW, who know when/if he might just hunt women in general....I guess the experts (profilers) will know about this.

At the moment, my heart goes out to the families of these girls....tragic waste of life and a truly horrible way to end it.

Don't know why, but I feel pretty emotional about this at the moment

i may well have missed it, have the police released how the women were killed and whether they were raped?

It's not illegal.

It's not? What are the laws there, Bill? I'm just curious.

In the United Kingdom, prostitution is not formally illegal, but several activities surrounding it are outlawed. In England and Wales, the legal situation is:

• for a prostitute to loiter or conduct solicitation in a street or public place is illegal, therefore outlawing street prostitution.
  
  it is also illegal for a potential client to solicit persistently, or solicit from a motor vehicle ("kerb crawling").
  
  owning or running a brothel is illegal.
  
  child prostitution is specifically illegal for the person paying (where child is defined as younger than 18, although the age of consent is 16)
  
  controlling prostitution for gain is an offence, banning pimping.

Prostitution *itself* isn't illegal - however, it is illegal to 'procure' a prostitute or

set up a brothel and live off 'immoral earnings' (pimps, madams), solicit in the

street or explicitly advertise as a prostitute.

As far as I can tell from reading the newspapers, there was no sexual activity - they were just murdered -

They aren't - saying "Prostitute offers services" or similar is!

Sooner he's caught the better,

the big worry is, he could move further afield!:(


Obviously I feel both for the victim and their family, but I feel doubly for the berieved family because of the vicious, callous deliberate remarks such as :Your daughter/sister/niece/cousin was a prostitute." I've got fairly broad shoulders but, God forbid, if it ever happened in my household, even though it were not my fault, I don't think I'd be able to take it. I'd probably change my name by deed poll, move, or both.

LC I read earlier today that several have been suficated and strangled.:-1 He is getting bolder and most likely enjoys the press he is getting. I hope they come up with something fast or there will be many more bodies this guy is on a mission.

UK police admit strangler is out of control...

well the SUN says it's a fat guy in a BMW.

why do we assume its a him? could be a her. i heard they found clothes by were two of the bodies were found.

i heard they found these just the other day.

Call Dexter!

All I'm praying right now is that I don't have to post a whole slew of references to back up the fact, along with every other poster on site who's blenching at the prospect.

Just say football/soccer...that should shut him up.

I don't know, but all I have to say is...

What the hell is wrong with people?...

What is their major malfunction?...

This sh*^ makes me sick to my stomach.

I saw the news, came here to post it and saw that you'd already got it covered!

Where do you live again! :wah:

I hear that on the radio, I like everyone else am hoping that he is the one, if he is then its good work. It was a bit creepy seeing that poor girl on the Harwich-Colchester train, I used to take it to work every morning in the mid-nineties, and it still looks the same. What a horrible case.

This guy is a serious loser. He isnt the same caliber as Sutcliffe or any of the really sick ones. He is a whiner. If it even IS him! C'mon the guy gave an interview to the mirror! (newspaper tabloid) Works at Tesco, has a myspace spot, and says he was like a boyfriend to one of the killed girls! Bet he was rejected by her, thats why he killed her! (if he even did!) I have some serious doubts over this guy. They say the cops interviewed him 4 times already! Hope they have some dna evidence on him!

LOL! I agree. The news is more like an episode of jerry springer! I think this guy is just an attention seeker. Do you think it's him? I seriously have my doubts.
