British serial killer probe seeks blue BMW mystery driver

British police hunting a serial killer confirmed a fourth prostitute had been murdered, as attention turned to a mystery man in a BMW who may provide a key to the shocking deaths.

The latest confirmed victim was named as Paula Clennell, 24, one of two prostitutes missing since last week in the eastern English town of Ipswich, where three sex workers have already been confirmed killed.


The case has evoked one of Britain's most notorious serial killers, east London's elusive Jack the Ripper, who murdered five prostitutes in 1888. It has also revived memories of "Yorkshire Ripper" Peter Sutcliffe, who preyed on prostitutes, murdering 13 women between 1975 and 1980.
