As a Suffolk born-and-bred and more importanly, a current St Edmundsbury Council Tax payer, I hope that the cost of these extra police won't be passed onto the tax payer as it was last time there was a national outcry (Holly & Jessica's bodies were found in Suffolk woodland, so we stumped up half the cost and my council tax rose the next year by 32%)!
I think more money needs to be put nationally into policing at grass-roots levels and not spent on community bi-sexual logistics and organic velocity monitering managers (or whatever they call themselves). I live in a town of 25,000 and the police station closes at 6pm.
I sincerely hope they catch the person doing this soon as it won't be long before he find hookers too much of an easy target and starts on something which is "more of a challenge", such as a non-hooker.
On a different note though, it's nice to see Portman Road featured on the news without the voiceover starting with the words, "Ipswich Town threw away a..."

You think it closing at 6pm is bad.....Wymondham Police station which is also Norfolk Police Headquaters isn't even open on a saturday :s
-
But the biggest crime that goes on in Wymondham is incest, and considering that the entire population of the town use horse and cart to get around, even if there is a crime committed on Saturday morning, the culprit can be picked up no further than Spooner Row on the monday morning.

Ermm.....where exactly has that comment come from :s You even been to the place...... Back on topic
-
Well, considering that my Aunt and cousins (before flying the nest etc.) have lived on Norwich Road for the past 25 years, I've been there one or two times. I even used to watch Wymondham play home games with my Uncle.
Back on topic though... If the three police forces had merged, as they wanted them to earlier in the year, it would have probably helped in this case.
-
If my memory serves correctly, at one point Norfolk and Suffolk were quite keen on a merger but when the government started suggesting that Essex and Cambs should be part of it they lost interest. Anyway, fortunately the Home Secretary ballsed the entire merging thing up and so nothing happened.
Flick.. if it all gets too costly, Suffolk will get a rebate I'm sure. Your council tax is safe(ish).
Fingers crossed all this information that has come in over the last week is getting them somewhere.
-
well Nick I am about 10 miles to the east of you and I was born in Ipswich and know the place well. It's sickening to think that some person is going around doing this but hopefully the police are closing in on him as I write.
-
You have to wonder what drives a person like this, have they finished, or will they be more. If they have developed a taste for it then will they move onto somewhere else or will they go for anyone.
I think that the killings were not just random urges, they must have planned this very carefully. Everyone is waiting to see what happens next.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if the person who did it had a criminal record for GBH, rape, manslaughter, attempted murder, animal cruelty and assaulting a cop etc
-
I'm guessing - hoping - that with so much police activity in the area the murderer finds it impossible to continue their work.
Incidentally, did anybody notice the extremely bad taste remark from Oliver Stone on the British Comedy Awards about it being like the days of Jack the Ripper? :s
