Cold case team identifies possible prostitutes serial killer

Dutch News  

A police cold case team looking into 85 unsolved murders says it may have identified a possible serial killer responsible for murdering five women over the past 30 years. Four of the women had their throats cut, they had all been subjected to similar sexual practices and all five were covered up in similar ways, a police spokeswoman said. The police are also considering using new DNA techniques in the remaining cases in an effort to bring the killers to justice, news agency ANP reported. The public prosecution department is also considering large-scale DNA testing in an effort to solve a further 20 to 25 unsolved deaths.
