Has anyone been following this in the news? First I heard of a prostitute getting killed. Then there was another, then a third and now look like 2 more are missing. That's a possible 5 murders around Ipswich.

It's not usually very accurate.

Less than half the cases (I forget the actual number... I think it's 47%?) where it's used does it actually lead to an identification of the suspect.

There are other benefits to it though.

I have an exam on this in a month. Hurray.

Based on the speed and way they've killed...

They want attention, thats why the bodies are so public. Its the speed thats taking people by suprise. If this was one hooker every couple of months they wouldn't get anywhere near as much press.
They believe theyre justfied.
They aren't a psychopath.
This has been triggered by something quite recent but it's something directed elsewhere. There doesn't seem to be any major violence against the women so there is either another purpose or this person considers themselves quite moral. It wouldn't suprise me if they're religious at all.
If the police dont catch them soon they'll either retreat for a while or taunt the police even more, notes etc (assuming they're not already)
I dont think it's a woman. They believe they're smart and wouldn't risk being overpowered by someone of the same sex.
But, something came to mind earlier. The last woman who disappeared had spoken to the media about 2 days before she went missing. I'm just wondering if thats just a big coincidence. I dont know how many hookers Ipwich has but maybe they knew her. I think it's just a coincidence.

And as often, heroin. According to the Daily Telegraph, many of the women doing such work in Ipswich is motivated by looking after their families and feeding hard drug habits, really quite unpleasant stuff...

Psychological profiling fascinates me with how accurate it usually is, I've watched quite a few programmes on the Discovery Channel etc about it.

Apparently the theory is that it's someone with a grudge against the police and that he / she (could be a woman) is taunting the police by leaving the bodies where they will be easily found instead of trying to conceal them, almost like a cat and mouse game of "you nearly got me but not quite".

Because killing them in March would have been so much more considerate?

It's quite unlikely that your average street prostitute is particularly wealthy. Perhaps they're still going out there every night because, you know, maybe they want to buy food and stuff?

Half the time i think you have to do it. News is so depressing. Im not saying i dont give to hoots about whats going on. What im saying is prostitutes go out there and go with anyone. They put there life at risk everytime they get in someones car.

When i go out i dont go out putting my life at risk. If something was to happen to me if i went out then i didnt exaclty go putting myself out there.

People would feel differently if it was 5 little girls rather then 5 prostitues. Prostitiutes know this is happening and still go out doing what there doing despite a killer been about. I know Prostitutes are prostitutes but still, they all have a brain do they not. Why on earth carry on working when you know something like this is happening. Why risk your life for a bit of cash.

There giving the killer exactly what he wants. Oppurtunity.

But they just found 2 more dead bodies less than 24 hours ago. I know it's awfully repetitive to hear of more murdered prostitutes, but then this kind of thing hasnt happened before. Jack the Ripper killed 5 women but over the space of 4 months not 2 weeks. It's like some of you are "yeah whatever, lets hear something different on the news please" =/

Maybe if these 5 prostitutes were 5 little girls then people might feel differently. But to me a life is a life and most of these girls are still very young. Lets all just hope they capture the guy(s) who are doing this before there are more murders.
