Yes, grapes were involved at that time it would have been only the rich who could afford them.

Lets hope it is him and that this ends

I agree. I could watch all the crimeshows in the world (except I can't handle things like Law &Order: SVU), but when it's reality, it truly spooks me.

Does anybody ever wonder if the crime-solving shows out there mighttend toward helping criminals hide their crimes better? Or doyou think they're supervised so that some false data is thrown in andthings that could truly help criminals are not used?

Edit: I'm not trying to badmouth crime-solving shows...I LOVE them...just a thought I've had a few times.

Yeah it is true that crime shows could give ideas to the criminals, butto be honest with the craziness of some crime shows on at the moment idon't even think a mad criminal would think about attempting any ofthem My favourite is Diagnosis Murder!

I didnt realise it was so popular around the world :shock:

My cousin lives very near Ipswich which is very scary for her.

The latest news is that they have found the victim! But theyhavent questioned him yet... :? Hes 37 and claims he knowsall of the women.

I always said it sounded like Jack the Ripper, but I didnt realise other people have said this.

Theres some sick*****/people out there.

I hope he gets life.

They say that this guy knows all the girls, butit does not necessarily mean he is the killer. I can nderstand theirsuspicion but he gave himself in to help because he knew them all, soit makes me think it may not be him.

I have a weird feeling about him too. I don't think he's the murderer though.

I don't know. I can only hope he's guilty of the murders so that this story doesn't have to continue.

 

[Kadish Tolesa]

It would seemthat a person should get life for just one murder...because that isstill one too many. Unfortunately , criminals often do too little timeif they have taken just one life. I realize that the circumstances ofsaid murder sometimes affects the sentencing.

Praying for the victim's families and hoping the perpetrator is caught SOON !

They arrested someone at 5am this morning, a 48 year old guy. Thats all the info we have so far.

 

[maherwoman]

That's true that he may not be the killer justbecause he knew the women...but also there are serial killers that willget involved in the investigation to see the progress of things, and toshow how they can outsmart the investigators. Obviouslydepends on the profile they come up with...but sometimes things can goin that direction.

I hope they've now found the right guy with this second guy.I agree...my gut does say that the first guy isn't him, though he mayknow some things that he hasn't said. Like,involved somehow, but in a very indirect fashion.

 

[Spring]

The 48 year old guy was charged with all 5 of the murders. I don't know much other info though. The other guy was released.

 

[Nessa1487]

How awful. :/ I hope they find whoever is doing it soon...

(On a side note, my parents used to live in Ipswich.)

 

[Linz_1987]

I think is ridiculous! If you was aprostitute, and you found out 2, or even 3 prostitutes have been killedin a few days, why would you carry on with your job? and get in a carwith a strange man? They must of been asking for it, surely!

I hope they get the sick beep soon. Then we can all behappy. We all know he wont see day light again if he iscaught, so thats good

 

[pinksalamander]

Judging by our current system he'll probably seethe light of day in about 10 years with good behaviour, or maybeearlier judging by the parole conditions.

Maybe they needed the money? I mean, if your a prostitue you must havea pretty hard time supporting yourself and you might not eat for daysrather than risk working one night.

Also some of those women had kids to think about.
