POLICE investigating the murder of two Ipswich prostitutes have this afternoon confirmed the discovery of a third body.
Some early media reports suggested the woman's body, which was found at Nacton, could be that of another murdered prostitute but this has not been officially confirmed by Suffolk Police.
The media reports suggested the woman was aged in her late teens or early 20s and had worked as a prostitute.
The reports also suggested that she had not been reported missing before her death.
Suffolk Police stressed none of these points had been confirmed but the force did say the body was found just before the turn-off to Amberfield School at Nacton at 3.20pm.
It is unclear at this stage whether the woman's death is linked to those of Ipswich prostitutes Gemma Adams and Tania Nicol.
