I must say just reread my original post and failed to say that it is a terrible situation all the same media hype or not.
I think we took that as implied - no one wants to see women abducted and murdered.

At the risk of indulging in groundless speculation, it seems to me that this is the work of some guy that just decided he wanted to be a serial killer, rather than an out of control lunatic. There's no mutilation, no sexual assault (at least none reported so far), just women abducted and killed.
There was a guy a few years ago, Colin Ireland, who was like this. He read somewhere that the police don't deem someone a serial killer until they've killed five people. So he went out and killed five people over a fairly short period of time. He selected gay men into S&M as his victims because the very nature of that world meant managing to anonymously isolate a victim was fairly easy. I think the same sort of thinking would apply to prostitutes.
Of course, this doesn't make his crimes any less bad - it's still a scary time to be a lone woman in Suffolk.

I agree Andrew. I think this guy must've read lots about Jack the Ripper because this situation is very similar. I feel sorry for the prostitutes, they must be so scared right now, but they have to carry on with their 'job' because for most that's the only way they can make money. It's a very sad and shocking story.

The fact that all these women (and nearly all streetwalkers) are drug addicts is another scandal. One of the victims was reported missing by her 'boyfriend' after she didn't come home after work. You have to ask yourself what kind of boyfriend would happily see his girlfriend off to walk to streets.

I'd fully expect it to be another junkie happy that one of them is 'earning' for their next fix.

That some of them used drugs? What do you know about these people that allows you to pass judgement on them? Perhaps that is how the killer justifies his actions.

Couldn't agree more. Legalize it with regulated brothels where the women receive proper health checks, have security, pay taxes and do not work in residential areas. Seems to work in other countries, and certainly people here in Ipswich would now approve.

I'm not sure you could say this. Even if legalized there would still be young women desperate for the cash for their next fix and potentially on the streets, legal or not, a man like this would still have the psychological disorder that compels him to commit these crimes.
