Body find sparks serial killer fears
The body of a third prostitute has been found near Ipswich, sparking fears that a serial killer is on the loose.
The victim was in her 20s and has yet to been named. She was found in woodland by a member of the public.
It followed the discovery of the bodies of Gemma Adams and Tania Nicol on the edge of the Suffolk town last week.
Gemma, 25, and Tania, 19, were discovered five miles apart in the same stretch of water.
They were both naked but the cause of their deaths is still unclear and there is no evidence to suggest either had been sexually assaulted.
Officers made the latest discovery after being called to Nacton near Felixstowe at 3.20pm by a member of the public.
Detective Superintendent Andy Henwood said: "There are obvious similarities between Tania's and Gemma's disappearances and subsequent deaths so we will be treating these as linked investigations.
"However, we will be seeking further opinions from specialist advisers to confirm this view."
He said police inquiries were continuing "to try to ascertain where and when Tania and Gemma's bodies were placed in the water and the circumstances of their deaths."
