London Road

Come here.

We can talk better there.

I don't mind giving interviews and things

like that. That doesn't bother me at all.

Erm... there's quite a few people

that I know that wouldn't, but I said,

"If you don't get

your point of view across,

"they label us something that we're not. "

Yes, so, erm... Yes.

Well, I don't know

if I can help you at all, but...

Can I get you a drink?

Erm, I've got orange juice or...

A cup of tea I'd like.

Or... What have we got?

Orange juice or...

- Cranberry juice?

- Cranberry juice. Yes?

It's light.

Please sit down.

- Gotta go cos me pie's going.

- Yeah, OK. Yeah.

- Yeah, because I'm, I'm cooking.

- Come talk to me.

We're expecting people.

OK. Ask away.

'Hello. Welcome to Suffolk Today.

'The nightmare gets worse.

'Two more bodies discovered by police

'investigating

the killings of prostitutes in Suffolk,

'bringing the total to five.

'Well, let's go back now

to Simon Newton live in Ipswich. '

'This is an investigation

that's changing by the hour.

'We have five women found dead

in the space of ten days

'and two more bodies

found here this morning.

'So we have

more than one method of killing.

'So the question today, really, does

this mean there's more than one killer?'

'The manhunt for the

multiple murderer enters a new phase.

'The feelings of vulnerability

are not helped

'by the knowledge of whoever

carried this murdering spree

'is still free to attack again.

'This huge investigation

has had a profound impact.

'Experts say it could haunt this place

'with traditionally low levels of crime

for a long time. '

'Simon, what's

the atmosphere like there right now?

'Well, I think there's generally

A sense of disbelief across this town

'And also a great sense of sadness

'I've lived in this town

For several years

'And there is an eerie air

Hanging over it

'Though this town itself

Will bounce back

'It can only do that

When this killer is caught

'And today the answer to that

May lie in Ipswich itself

'Back to you'

'Police stop and question drivers

'In the red-light district

'Officers still trying

To trace the last movements

'Of the five murdered prostitutes

'There are now more

Than 350 police officers from 31 forces

'As far afield as Northern Ireland

Working on this case...

'Experts say it could haunt this place

With traditionally low levels of crime...

'Northern Ireland

There are now more than 350...

'... the method of killing...

- 'Ipswich Ripper'

- 'The Ipswich Ripper'

- 'Ripper'

- 'Ripper'

Everyone is very, very nervous

Erm, and very unsure of everything

It was sort of six years ago

when Portman Road

started expanding its football team.

And a new stadium went up that...

That prostitutes seemed

to come up this way.

We had reported the prostitutes.

I confronted one. "Get out of my road!

I'll call the police!"

- Well, I...

- She said, "Call the police. " And I did.

Their whole attitude with us...

...makes it really hard for me

to have much sympathy

for, you know, what happened.

We had a girl at the bottom of me drive.

She's in the car.

She said, "Do you mind

sort of moving off?" I said, "Just... "

I swore at her, I admit.

Anyway, saying, like,

"If you keep on at me,

"I'm gonna sort of get my pimp

to burn your house down. "

I know what you're up to. If I see you

here again, I'm gonna call the police.

It was... it was absolutely awful.

They wrecked...

wrecked our, my evenings.

You know, they're on my streets.

You know, my children are out at night.

I've got, I've got a teenage girl.

I've got, I've got a 14-year old.

I don't want girls...

erm... doing what they did in the streets.

And they weren't just...

getting in people's cars.

They were doing it in the alleyways

and everything else.

They certainly weren't angels.

Lots of them talking about them

being lovely girls and everything,

but in all our experience

they were... foul-mouthed slags

who'd stab you as quick as...

- That's an exaggeration.

- It's a slight exaggeration.

They did pester you.

They'd rob you

as much as anything else.

Yeah.

No, because people,

kerb crawlers,

sort of upset people's children, you know.

Daughters and things.

And then there's the girls.

I mean, you coming back from football

and things like that.

He was always being sort

of propositioned, you know. Sort of.

Poor old sod!

It's been like this for years,

but I don't want my children to see that.

We all wanted to move.

We didn't want to be here.

Then these girls...

just going missing

and... and being found

the way they... they were found.

It was a complete nightmare.

It's the most wonderful time

Oh, the most wonderful time

Oh,

the most wonderful time

Of the year

Everyone is very, very nervous... erm

And very unsure of everything

Basically

The most wonderful time...

Everyone is very, very nervous... erm

And very unsure of everything

Basically

There was a LOT of fear

from a LOT of people.

I think it's the biggest thing

that's ever... ever happened in Ipswich.

It's... erm...

Definitely changed the mood

It's quite a...

It's quite an unpleasant feeling because

You find that I'm walking through thinking

"Well, is it him? Is it him?"

Yeah, I think it's put Ipswich

On the map

For the wrong reasons, unfortunately

It's the most wonderful time...

Everyone's very, very nervous... erm

Erm, we're not actually selling

It's actually free

Just free personal safety alarms

On behalf of Town 102

Local radio station in Ipswich

Just handing away free personal alarms

Because of what's...

In the wake of what's been happening

In Ipswich recently

Everyone is very, very nervous... erm

And very unsure of everything

Basically

So, yeah, yeah, definitely

Obviously a lot of people

Are going out for the weekend

We're gonna be a bit worried

So we're handing out

Personal alarms to... erm

Either a policeman or a lawyer.

We hoped it was an immigrant,

from nish-noff land.

- If it is, there'll be an uproar.

- And we'll send the f***ers all back.

No, I-I-I'm not like that. I'm sure

you're not really like that deep down.
