Unfortunately by the very nature of their profession, prostitutes whether by choice or necessity leave themselves so vulnerable more so than other women in society. There are the drugs, pimps and violence. They get caught up in a spiral they can't usually escape from. Someone said earlier that they are someone's child and my heart goes out to their families. No matter what they do, they are still your child and shouldn't however they choose to lead their lives, end them in this manner. How many of us, even me in my fifties really thinks of our own safety. I go out sometimes to the local shop in the dark to do the lottery or pop down the village. I walk rather than take the car. It is 4 minutes walk...... but what risks am I taking. Some of you might know that someone tried to mug me in broad daylight just a few weeks ago and I had my 2yr old granddaughter with me. Yes, I saw him off but....... there but for the Grace of God! If it is one sicko then I hope they get him/her quickly before anyone else loses their lives. Then again two of these women were into heroin (I think) so could be drug related and involve more than one person. Aileen xxxx

There is about to be another press conference, police are expected to give details of an 'incident' on the outskirts of Ipswich at about 3.00pm today On the news now, there is a lot of police activity around the village of Levington, an area has be conrdoned off. It looks like they may have found another body. Those poor girls, and their families.

OMG Two bodies have been found!

OMG

Ipswich isn't far down the road from me, prostitutes in Norwich are being warned not to work alone too. This is too close for comfort. Really scarey. Not many people out on their own in town today, even in daylight.

This really is getting scary now, this is right on my door step. I feel sick just thinking about it, those poor poor families,my heart aches for them. Please stay safe girls and boys xxIzzyxx

Amazingly, they spotted the second body from the helicopter while sweeping the area where the first one was found, considering how dull it is. Izzy, you are closer to it than I am, and its scary enough from here.

This is so awful, it made me cry. How many more?

This is really worrying me now, my son and his girlfriends family live in Ipswich and is making me scared for their safety. I am hoping they find this killer soon...was up there the other w/e and we were talking about the first two that had been found...can't believe there has been more...those poor girls and their families...what an evil creature this person must be...am really sad now.

when they get him hang him the sick bast,,d

This happening to quickly.....4 in acouple of weeks....

I think there is more than 1...

5 Hayley, they found 2 this afternoon. 5 in ten days.

What awful news, I have just got in from work and hubby has updated me, 5 heartbroken familys now without daughters.....My heart goes out to them.

Thats the point isn't it Rosi, whatever people may think of the way they earned a living, and for whatever reason, they are still someone's daughters.

This is getting so frenetic - At the risk of being a whittling old woman, those of you with young men in your families, advise them too to make sure that they are not out alone. Everyone is 'a suspect' and they need to protect themselves by being able to prove where they were, when and who with. My heartfelt sympathies to the loving families of all these poor victims, and my hopes and prayers for the safe-keeping of all the women in the Norfolk/Suffolk region. Jay

A few years back 2 prostitutes from Norwich were found dead about 8 miles from here. More were reported missing but then everything went quiet. No one was ever arrested. I am wondering whether this chap is an East Anglian with access to both main cities in the area. I shant be walking the dog tonight guys and Id advise no one in Norfolk or Suffolk to go out in the dark - as someone else says Peter Sutcliffe went for any woman if no prostitute was around - poor kids, their short lives ended and no matter what they did for a living, they had mums out there breaking their hearts now.

Police have already said if this is a serial killer, then he has killed before, as a sort of learning thing, so they are examining other cases, including the Norwich ones. They have also said he may be targetting prostitutes now, btu it could be because he has something against prostitutes OR it could be because they are the most vulnerable. I certainly won't be going anywhere after dark on my own.

Hi , I think these murders are terrible but what will happen to the person who is doing these murders if and when he's found, he'll go into a 5star hotel with all mod coms [prison] shout about his rights, and he'll get what ever he wants.is that justice or what hazelx

Who cares Hazel, as long has he is removed from society for good, so he can never do this again.
