A third murdered Ipswich prostitute, originally of Harwich, has prompted fears a serial killer may be at large.

A motorist discovered the body of Anneli Alderton, 24, of Harwich, in woodland at Nacton, near Ipswich, on Sunday.

Police have not yet formally linked her death with the other two murder victims, Gemma Adams and teenager Tania Nicol, but said "the facts speak for themselves".

There are also conerns for the safety of two further prostitutes. Paula Clennell, 24, has not been seen since late on Saturday, and Annette Nicholls, 29, has been missing since December 4.
