Ipswich Prostitute Murders

[anna]

Hi everyone,Thanks for the latest, Mike! Actually, the whole purpose of my original post was not to do with circumstance but to do with ATTITUDE. The prostitutes know full well that men need to feel that the woman they are with has a friendly attitude towards them to enable the man to achieve what he has paid for.Once he is hooked the chances are he will return.As for the quote. Bet her other clients wondered what she truly thought about them!So far,nobody has mentioned the TRUE victim in all this, Wright's partner Pam. What a thing to discover about the man you live with.I hope we can all spare a thought for her.

Thanks Mike! (sound like a sports commentator!)

Steve Wright was a sex/power crazed serial killer, and used prostitutes out of accessability.

Wether you agree with these girls methods of making money or not they died because of some lunatic getting sexual gratification!

We must remember that certain situations arise in our lives that makes us take drastic actions to try and overcome them.

Perhaps these girls were struggling to buy money for food, shelter or the inevitable drugs.

I have several friends who have gone into "Non Sex Escort Services"

Why?

The first did it to support her three kids after her husband died, the second did it to get enough money to by a house after her husband beat her to within an inch of her life.

I know and have known several people who have gone into "Chat Line" work, to pay off bills and provide for their families.
One girl told me, the dirtier you get the more you earn!
I was a manager of a busy retail store at the time, and my wife was a supervisor of a similar store and this girl was taking home double what we were earning!!

We must also remember these girls had families.

Nice to see you back DP

Anna, glad you live in financial paradise and never have to wonder about where the money for the next bill is coming from.

Yes, these women were vunerable - unless you are justifying the murders of five women?

Just one remark as far as I'm concerned represents the mindset of the unattractive specimens that have represented their kind in interviews today.One said: He was an old bloke, I didn't care about anything except getting his money. DCS Stewart Gull has just called the victims "vulnerable" - I think not. A good idea would be to put that quote in large letters on posters everywhere- the only "vulnerables" are the men that use them!!!!

[Mike Covell]

Initially a thread in Mysteries but there seem's to be some closure today as Steve Wright was found Guilty of murdering 5 prostitutes.

When the case first surfaced it was featured in the press as a "Ripper Like Killing"
