Parents' plea to find prostitutes killer

The parents of one of the murdered Ipswich prostitutes today appealed for help catching the killer.

Tania Nicol’s mother and father said in a statement that the killer “needed to be found”.

Kerry Nicol and Jim Duell urged anyone who had information “however small” to come forward.

“Tania was a lovely daughter – she was a caring loving, sensitive girl who would never hurt anyone,” said the couple.

“Unfortunately drugs took her away into her own secret world – a world that neither of us were aware of.

“Tania has been taken by someone who needs to be found.”

The couple added: “We ask for anyone who knows this person or persons to come forward and contact the police.

“We would like to thank all the people who have offered help so far but ask if anyone has any information, however small, please tell us – even if they come forward anonymously.”
