Its the biggest news round here, as Ipswich is not far down the road. What worries me is that it wouldn't take much for it to move up to Norwich, there is quite a well known red light district here too.

I said earlier it puts you in mind of the Yorkshire ripper... I've even bet my OH that when the murderer gets caught he will be saying 'the voices told me to do it'

Let's just hope that one of these popular 'crime' story re-enactments, which seem to be so popular, hasn't sparked off some unhinged individual. At present, all women out alone in East Anglia seem vulnerable, which is very,very wrong. Jay

I live only 20 minutes south of Ipswich, and was actually working in the town on Saturday night,(not on the streets i hasten to add!!!), It's actually VERY VERY worrying, i won't let my sons girlfriend wait at the train station alone anymore thats for sure. Wherever you live ladies PLEASE take care when you go out, don't think these things only happen to other people!

That's true. The target does seem to be prostitutes, but police are warning EVERYONE to keep safe and stay off the streets.

It makes you wonder what goes through these sick individuals minds to go out and kill 3 women, maybe more? Is it a 'Crime re-enactment' thats set them off? Drugs? Drink? It must be really scary for the people living in the area. Please take care if you live near there. Gem:)))

I don't think its crime re-enactment, but I do think its a seriously sick individual out there who desparately needs to be caught, and fast.

Well the local news has just come on. There is a fourth prostitute missing for two days, and it had jsut been announced that the family of a fifth have reported her missing too. She hasn't been seen since the beginning of last week. She was reported missing in the last 30 mins. This isn't looking good.

They are just saying that they can't be sure its the same person, as they have not made a connection between the three yet. Two were found by water, the last on was found in woods. All they can do for now is try to build a profile.

The police claimed yesterday that three were linked and issued a possible profile. I would reiterate that all women should take greater care than usual, and urge all men to ensure that their ladies are accompanied. Also, a reminder that not ALL Peter Sutcliffe's victims were prostitutes, he just assumed they were. Jay

It's absolutely awful-the police arn't giving much away are they? Wonder how close they are to capturing this person. Did anyone see that programme last week on the Panther? The guy that kidnapped the little girl from her home.That was horrific. Catherine xx

I saw that programme Catherine. The police are saying today, that they are trying to build a profile of possible characteristics of a suspect. They are also saying TONIGHT that they have not linked the three yet. I don't think they are close at all, and with the momentum of all this, I hope they find something quickly to put a stop to all this.
