British detectives probing the deaths of five women by a feared serial killer are hunting a mystery man in a blue BMW who may provide a key to the affair, a top policeman said. The focus on a "chubby" driver seen by witnesses came as police were expected to confirm formally the identity of two bodies believed to be victims of the so-called "Suffolk Strangler," centred on the quiet town of Ipswich.
Other new lines of inquiry being followed by detectives include pieces of clothing possibly belonging to the dead women, whose bodies were all dumped naked in streams and fields near Ipswich over the last two weeks.
