Ipswich suspect worked at Tesco

The 37-year-old man arrested today in connection with the murders of five women in Ipswich was a supermarket worker who claimed to be a friend of the women.

As well as working at a Tesco store police sources said today that it was believed the man had also worked as a part-time independent taxi driver in the Ipswich area.

Today a Tesco spokesman said: "The investigation is a police matter and we are not able to comment further."

At about 11.30am this morning a large police van pulled up in front of the suspects house in Trimley St Martin, near Felixstowe.

Half an hour later forensic teams wearing full-length white jump-suits entered the property. They closed the blinds to waiting media filming what they were doing.

Concerned neighbours gathered on the street to watch the police activity.
