The oldest profession in the world

The oldest profession in the world has suddenly got a load more dangerous as events unfold in Ipswich. I really hope whoever is doing this or someone who has information that leads to an arrest contacts the police soon as the number of females killed in this space of time is just scary beyond belief. Heavens knows what is like to live in that area just now.

Seeing thee pictures of the victims I find most disturbing. These girls are young and had their whole life ahead of them. Agreed some were taking drugs and used prostitution as a way of paying for their dangerous habit. But none deserves to die like this. At least the girls were not resorting to crime to get money as others do. I think it really is time to legalise or allow safe houses to get these girls off the streets. No one will want these places near their home but if it is done properly it should be no different than having a hotel next door to you.

In case anyone who reads this can help the Suffolk Police call them on 0800 0961011 or fill in the online web form that is here .
