Lawyer found murded

might have been victim to serial killer

By Sara Karlsson

Phoebe Caulfield was found in her apartment in London yesterday.
She had missed an important meeting when she did not show up for work yesterday and when her colleague called her home she didn’t answer. “It is not like Phoebe so of course we were worried” says Melinda Bass, her friend and colleague who found her. Bass decided to go to Caulfield’s apartment to see if something was wrong, and when the door was open she understood that something was seriously wrong. She found Caulfield in the living room. She had a plastic bag over her head and she had been stabbed several times over the chest.
This is the third brutal murder of highly educated women in London only the last three weeks. Even though the murders don’t look the same the Police think that there might be a connection.
“I can’t say too much yet, but we have found evidence that could support that statement” says Martin Hill from the London Police. They have no suspect yet, the killer did not leave any fingerprints and none of the neighbours had heard anything suspicious. Martin Hill says that they think the victim might have known the killer. There was no sign off a break in; she must have let him or her in herself.
Phoebe had lived alone ever since her husband died under tragical circumstances five years ago. They had no children and Phoebe had dedicated her life to her work the last five years. She has been involved in many cases with highly violent criminals, one of her colleagues says. This can be a dangerous job, he continues.
Martin Hill from the Police says that they have not excluded that. “We are considering every option right now. Our highest priority is to catch who ever did this. ”
