Bradford, May 31, (THAINDIAN NEWS) A student of the criminology department, Stephen Griffith, has been charged with the murder of three prostitutes in the Bradford area. The 40 year old student has identified himself in the court by the alias Crossbow Cannibal. He had been taken to the Bradford Magistrates court, and is charged with the murders of three prostitutes in all, Shelley Armitage, Suzanne Blamires and Susan Rushworth. It is remarkable that all the three murders have some very intricate connection with each other. All the three women hailed from the Bradford area, had a long record of prostitution and substance abuse, and were all in their middle ages.

So far, nothing has been proved as such in court about whether Stephen Griffith had been the one to have murdered the three women. However, it is possible that the one who did, stalked the women, as close associates of all three reported that for a few days before their deaths, all three of them had confessed being afraid that something might happen to them, looking behind their shoulders all the time.

It has been reported that Stephen Griffith would have to appear in court on June 7. However, he is currently being held in custody in the Wakefield Prison, therefore he would not be appearing in person. Instead, he will be presented to the court via video link, where the trial would be held. Stephen Griffith had been arrested while he was in his flat on Tuesday, and the police reported that the apartment block was somewhat strange in demeanor, commenting that the residents had to sign every time they move in or out of the flats.
