£250,000 reward for the new Jack the Ripper · 2006-12-14 14:57
British Prime Minister Tony Blair has pledged full support for officers working on the case of the Suffolk serial murders, informs Irish Examiner.
“We will do everything we can to support the police in the difficult and challenging work they do and I’ve every confidence they will perform their task well,” he said
The News of the World newspaper offered a £250,000 reward, the largest ever offered sum, for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer: “We hope this historic reward will help in solving the series of brutal murders which has shocked the nation.”
Detective Chief Superintendent Stewart Gull, who is leading the investigation, said detectives are sure none of the five women died where they were found. All five victims had been strangled or suffocated, stripped naked, but left with their jewellery as a ” trademark” of the attacks, informs Independent.
Criminal psychologists warn that, since the streets of Ipswich were now largely deserted of prostitutes, the killer may be forced to attack other women to satisfy his compulsion to kill.
