The investigation into the five murders in Ipswich went into a higher gear yesterday, when a man, Tom Stephens was arrested. But now, this morning, another man, Stephen Wright, has been arrested. Really is getting interesting, but of course the police will know alot of things that they won't be making public. There has been some speculation that the first man arrested is just seeking attention and did not really do anything. it has to be said that it is not usual to give such a frank interview to the BBC, about his relationship with the deceased women. He is either trying to hide his guilt by seeming to be very open about things, or he really is just seeking attention.
The BBC have been criticised for broadcasting the interview because it may jeapordise a potential future trial. I am frankly surprised at the level of discussion in the press about this man; it seems that we know almost everything about this man before he has even been charged or not charged, as the case might be. I don't think that should be allowed. Having said that he has got his own website which is in the public domain.

And I agree that the BBC should not have broadcast the interview. It's better to err on the cautious side until any potential trial is over.

I put 'ripper' in the title in inverted commas, because apparently he is not a 'ripper' like the yorkshire ripper was. It's another case of the press creating stereotype.
