Latest On Serial Killer
Updated: 11:45, Wednesday December 13, 2006
Detectives investigating the suspected murder of five prostitutes near Ipswich have announced their latest findings.
Det Chief Supt Stewart Gull told reporters in Suffolk:
:: Police are following up reports concerning a chubby-faced man in a blue BMW. But Mr Gull stressed this was one of a number of lines of inquiry.
:: Police are compiling a list of men who visit prostitutes in the area. He said they need to volunteer information "before we come knocking on their doors".
:: Officers have received more than 2,000 calls from the public on Tuesday and 500 on Monday. They will be working round the clock to follow these up.
:: The News Of The World has offered a £250,000 reward, thought to be the biggest offered by a newspaper.
:: Three other prostitutes missing overnight have now been accounted for.
:: Mr Gull gave "clear, unequivocal assurances" that vice girls coming forward with information would not be prosecuted for soliciting.
:: Officers across eastern England are now involved in the case and more are being drafted in after an appeal by Suffolk Police.
:: The latest bodies to be found near Levington village were left naked like the other three murdered prostitutes.
:: Mr Gull said it "may seem callous" but both bodies will remain at the crime scenes while forensic officers search for clues.
:: Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt asked whether the fact the Levington bodies were discovered near the roadside suggested the killer was becoming careless.
Mr Gull said it was possible but a number of conclusions could be drawn.
:: Trained officers are ready to any call from the killer, if they contact police.
:: Police have not ruled out calling in experts from Europe and the US.

All I can say is my heart goes out to the womens familes....very frightning for those who live in the area.
