Fifth prostitute reported missing

Three others dead, one other missing. First disappearance was on the 30th of October.

Nasty.

This is truly shocking and deeply disturbing (and I could have swung for that old goat on the bus today who said they 'deserved' it) I hope there is a maintainable police presence until the killer is caught and that each community affected works in co-operation with the police.

Yes, I believe Mary Ann 'Polly' Nichols was Jack's first victim

I think given these murders, it might be better if we had brothels where prostitutes might sell their wares safely (i.e. off the streets). That said, I'm not sure whether it should be legalized as such

Angry

This isn't like the Yorkshire Ripper...this is worse that the Yorkshire Ripper who took years to do what this person or people has been able to do in a manner of days. I'm frightened for the safety of young women across the east of England.

A criminal psychologist has said the killer(s) may begin to believe they are somehow 'invincible' and may begin to target Christmas revellers at night or women in broad daylight. Psychologists must be working overtime at the moment :/

Reminds me of Jack Unterweger, the Austrian serial killer, who killed at least 11 prostitutes in the 70s, 80s and 90s in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic and at least 3 in the US. He was sentenced to life without parole and killed himself at the night of the verdict.

Question to the UK forum members:

Why is this serial killer called "Ripper" when the victims were not stabbed to death but strangled to death ?

Has he aquired the Ripper tag already?

Ripper seems to be something the media likes to use of anyone who kills a lot of prostitutes; the Yorkshire Ripper killed most (?) of his victims with a hammer.

Some papers seem to be running with the 'Suffolk Strangler.' The sad part is there isn't much you can rhyme Ipswich with (despite the best efforts of Kenneth Weetch!)

If this killer doesn't follow the usual pattern and turns out to be female (or is there already evidence that the killer is male) the media could call her the "Ipswich Bitch".  Or if you Brits played baseball, the "Ipswich Hitter"

That is a truly bad pun, one which the mass media must never hear of, and so you must die.

Breaking News:

Suffolk Murders Arrest

Updated: 10:03, Monday December 18, 2006

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering five prostitutes in Suffolk.

The 37-year-old was arrested in Trimley, a small town near the port of Felixstowe, at 7.20am.

The news was delivered by Det Chief Supt Stewart Gull at a press conference in Ipswich.

He is in custody at a police station in Suffolk and will be questioned later today.

Det Chief Supt Stewart Gull said: "He has been arrested on the suspicion of murdering all five women - Gemma Adams, Tania Nicol, Anneli Alderton, Paula Clennell and Annette Nicholls."

The bodies of the five prostitutes were found naked in rural locations south of Ipswich.

Gemma Adams, 25, was found in Belstead Brook at Hintlesham on December 2.

Tania Nicol was found at Copdock on December 8; Paula Clennell, 24, at Levington on December 12, and Annette Nicholls, 29, also at Levington on the same day.

Police have not said how Miss Adams, Miss Nicol and Miss Nicholls died but Miss Clennel was killed as a result of "compression" to the neck.

The inquests into four of the deaths have been postponed.

The murders sparked a major police manhunt and created massive public interest.

They also triggered a fevered public debate on prostitution in the UK.

No, that's not what I meant. I just don't want all that info there immediately available to journalists should I be arrested.
