Keep off the streets, British prostitutes urged By Alessia Pierdomenico

LEVINGTON (Reuters) - Police hunting a serial killer who is murdering women at a rate unprecedented in British criminal history urged prostitutes on Wednesday to stay off the streets.

Five naked bodies have been found near the eastern English port town of Ipswich in the last 11 days, terrifying the community in an area where serious crime is relatively rare.

Detectives have identified three of the dead women as prostitutes. Police said they feared the other two bodies may be sex workers from Ipswich who had been reported missing.

Paula Clennell, 24, has not been seen since Saturday and Annette Nicholls, 29, has been missing for at least a week.

"Three of their peers have been murdered, now tragically possibly another two. It's not safe. They need to stay off the streets," Detective Chief Superintendent Stewart Gull told BBC radio.

The discovery of so many victims in so few days has raised fears another "Ripper" targeting prostitutes is on the loose.

Is this the liberal media's method for changing the word "prostitute" into the "politically correct" designation of "sex worker"?
 
The comparison is sensationalist ... hype to grab the reader's eye. There have been far worse serial killers than Jack the Ripper since his day.
For sure. But he's more well-known than some others and the killing of prostitutes is mimickry of his killings.

Serial killers murdering prostitutes is is hardly limited to Jack the Ripper. For men who prey on women to this level, prostitutes are the easiest prey for a variety of reasons.

And simply murdering prostitutes does NOT necessarily mimmick Jack the Ripper.

Jack the Ripper used medical instruments and pretty much dissected living human beings, and always left some sort of grisly ceremonial display of organs and/or his handiwork.
 
Prostitutes have been targets for pervert murderers since time began. It's a dangerous occupation. "Jack the Ripper's" mystique if you will was that he eviscerated prostitutes. This guy seems to be just a garden variety killer.
