A second man has been arrested on suspicion of the murders of five prostitutes in the eastern English town of Ipswich, police said yesterday.
The 48-year-old man was arrested in Ipswich early yesterday, a day after a 37-year-old man was detained in a village outside the eastern port town, Detective Chief Superintendent Stewart Gull said.
The arrest came after police found the bodies of five prostitutes within 10 days.
"A 48-year-old man man was arrested at his home address in Ipswich at approximately 5am this morning," Gull said.
"He has been arrested on suspicion of murdering all five women," he added.
The second suspect was arrested near the red light district in the center of Ipswich, Sky News said.
Detectives have already been given an extra 12 hours to question a 37-year-old man arrested on Monday in the high-profile probe.
The first suspect, identified by media reports as local supermarket worker Tom Stephens, was arrested at his home in Trimley, a few kilometers outside of Ipswich.

Helberg only discovered the unexpected visitor when a panicked neighbor who had rung his doorbell repeatedly to no avail gave up and called him on the phone. “The doorbell rang at a time of day when I don’t like to open,” Helberg told television
A team of doctors and vets in Pakistan has developed a novel treatment for a pair of elephants with tuberculosis (TB) that involves feeding them at least 400 pills a day. The jumbo effort at the Karachi Safari Park involves administering the tablets — the same as those used to treat TB in humans — hidden inside food ranging from apples and bananas, to Pakistani sweets. The amount of medication is adjusted to account for the weight of the 4,000kg elephants. However, it has taken Madhubala and Malika several weeks to settle into the treatment after spitting out the first few doses they
