Murder hunt police find new body | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Police investigating the murders of two Ipswich prostitutes say a third woman's body has been found. | |
The body was discovered by a walker on Sunday afternoon in an area of trees at Nacton, outside the town. | |
Officers have said it is too early to link the death to those of Gemma Adams and Tania Nicol whose bodies were found on the opposite side of Ipswich. | |
The area has been sealed off and a police say the incident is being treated as an "unexplained death". | |
Ms Adams, 25, and Ms Nicol, 19, both worked together and went missing from the red light area of Ipswich. | |
Ms Adams vanished on November 15 and was found in a stream at Hintlesham, Suffolk, on 2 December. | |
Miss Nicol had disappeared on 30 October and her body was discovered on Friday in the same stream at Copdock, near the town. | |
Both were found naked. | |
Det Supt Andy Henwood said they were treating the deaths as "linked investigations" and that there were "obvious similarities" between the disappearances and subsequent deaths. | |
Discovery | |
BBC correspondent Steve Martin said the latest body was found by a woman out walking in a wooded area just off the A14 around two miles outside Ipswich. | |
He said the body was found on the opposite side of the city to the two previous discoveries. | |
Post-mortem examinations have been carried out on both of the murdered women's bodies, but police said more tests were now needed. | |
They said there was no evidence that either woman had been sexually assaulted and there were no obvious signs of injury to either body. | |
Officers are still seeking to trace the clothing the two dead women were wearing on the nights they went missing. |
