'A serial killer in our midst': Fears after 1990s Wilmslow killings reexamined
''A serial killer who murders vulnerable couples may have been active in the North West since the mid-1990s - and could still be on the loose - a shocking report has claimed.
According to a confidential document seen by the Sunday Times, two suspected double murders in Wilmslow, Cheshire, could have been the work of an offender unknown to the police.
The report, compiled by one of the most senior coroner's officers, raises serious concerns about two cases where husbands were previously thought to have murdered their wives before committing suicide.
After re-examining the cases using modern techniques, the report finds both cases were likely to have been double murders.
This weekend, Cheshire Police said they were conducting a review of the findings in the report, which was handed to the force last month.
They are also said to have alerted Greater Manchester and Cumbria Police - where some of the killings took place.''
