December 13, 200619 yr IPSWICH, England - British detectives hunting a serial killer who preys on prostitutes discovered two more bodies Tuesday, police said, bringing the total to five. ?We can only fear the worst,? Detective Chief Superintendent Stewart Gull of Suffolk police said. ?The natural assumption is that these are the two missing women.? As part of the investigation into the deaths of Gemma Adams, 25, whose body was found Dec. 2; Tania Nicol, 19, whose body was found Friday; and 24-year-old Anneli Alderton, whose body was found Sunday, detectives were also searching for Annette Nicholls, 29, and Paula Clennell, 24. Both had also worked as prostitutes in Ipswich. The naked bodies of the first three women were found a few miles apart in rural eastern England. One body was found in a stream, another in a pond and a third in the woods. The killing has stirred memories of the so-called Yorkshire Ripper, one of Britain?s worst serial killers. Peter Sutcliffe admitted to killing 13 women, mostly prostitutes, during the 1970s. He was sentenced to serve a minimum of 30 years in prison. Police suspected a serial killer in the recent cases but weren?t ruling out multiple suspects. Police said Alderton ? who was last seen on a train ? was asphyxiated. It appeared she had been strangled and that she was not sexually assaulted, police said Tuesday. The condition of Adams and Nichol?s bodies ? both of which were found in water ? has prevented investigators from determining an exact cause of death, or whether they were sexually assaulted. It did not appear, however, they suffered a significant trauma or had been asphyxiated, said Detective Chief Superintendent Stewart Gull. Police were reviewing closed-circuit television video of the red light district and other areas of Ipswich, which is about 70 miles northeast of London. Police said there was no indication that the potential killer or killers were targeting women other than prostitutes. Two other women ? 24-year-old Paula Clennell and 29-year-old Annette Nicholls ? have been missing for about a week. Further information about Nicholls and Clennell was not immediately available. Police say all five worked as prostitutes. ?We may be looking for one perpetrator. There may be more,? Gull said. Assistant Chief Constable Jacqui Cheer urged prostitutes to stay off the street, and to help police with any information they have. Link :blink:
