IPSWICH, England Dec 18, 2006 (AP)— Police arrested a 37-year-old man Monday morning on suspicion of murdering five prostitutes in eastern England, a senior officer said.

The man was arrested at about 7:20 a.m. at his home in Trimley, near the port of Felixstowe, Detective Chief Superintendent Stewart Gull of Suffolk Police said in a brief statement to reporters.

"He has been arrested on the suspicion of murdering all five women," Gull said.

"The man is currently in custody at a police station in Suffolk where he will be questioned about the deaths later today," he said. /i]

3. It's always the loner. NO, it's almost never the loner...

It's almost invariably the failed joiner, the outcast.

I didn't read the article. Just wanted to make the point. Loner's want to be alone.

I'll leave it for others to define what this kind of relationship is, but muderer and murdered IS a relationship, and not something loners desire.

Being a loner does not, and should not, make one suspect.

Read 'Party of One' (book).

5. Thank You for Clarifying

I'm a loner also. These psychopaths give loners a bad name.

4. The local news this morning was talking about a connection...

...between these murders and the recent discovery of the bodies of four prostitutes in Atlantic City. Probably just desperate to fill an extra 30 seconds in the broadcast, though.
