IPSWICH, England - British police fear a serial killer is targeting sex trade workers in eastern England. The naked bodies of three prostitutes have been found since Dec. 1 and two others have been reported missing. According to Reuters, investigators have said there are similarities in the murders. "While we can't formally link the discovery of the (third) body...with the two murders, the facts speak for themselves," said Detective Chief Superintendent Stewart Gull. These most recent murders have brought back to light two other famous cases, that of Peter Sutcliffe, the "Yorkshire Ripper," and "Jack the Ripper," who is perhaps the world's most famous serial killer.
