Women Remember Bradford Sex Workers

Up to 100 women gathered in Bradford city centre late on Friday to commemorate three women feared to have been murdered whilst operating as sex workers in the district.

Body parts identified as belonging to Suzanne Blamires and Shelley Armitage have been found in the River Aire near Bradford.

There has been no trace of Susan Rushworth since she disappeared in June 2009.

40 year old Stephen Griffiths, a criminology student from Bradford University, has been charged with their murders.

Those attending the women-only commemoration event, which council officials moved from Centenary Square to a location at the end of Market Street, were asked to wear black and to carry signs in support of other sex workers abused in the course of their profession.
