Scary stuff

There's a serious manhunt going on over here right now, for a serial killer they're calling the Suffolk Strangler. He (the papers are all calling the person a "he") has killed 5 victims in 6 weeks, which is apparently unprecedented in speed, and forensic psychologists believe he is taunting the police, dumping the bodies practically under their noses. Scotland Yard is involved, to help the Suffolk Police close the net. Eerily, the victims are all prostitutes. Jack the Ripper killed five prostitutes in East London over a period of 8-9 weeks in 1888. And as you all know, he was never caught. In Ipswich (Suffolk), just as they did back in Jack the Ripper's day, prostitutes are continuing to ply their trade in the red light district there, in spite of the danger...for whatever their personal reasons or habits to support, they say they need the money.
