Goodnight, godbless your everloving Mum and Dad' STORYLINE A British doctoral student researching murder was accused of being a killer himself on Friday, appearing in court on charges of killing three prostitutes in northern England. In a case whose details have startled the country, Stephen Griffiths is accused of killing the three women who disappeared in Bradford, about 200 miles (320 kilometres) north of London. The 40-year-old Griffiths was studying homicide in the 19th century at the local university at the time he was arrested at his home on the edge of the city's red-light district. When asked to give his name in court, Griffiths said simply "the crossbow cannibal." Britain's tabloid newspapers, which have devoted front page attention to the case, have suggested that Griffiths used a crossbow in slaying one of his victims. When asked for his address, Griffiths shrugged and said: "Erm ... here I guess," referring to the courthouse. Relatives and friends of some of the victims wiped away tears as they strained to see Griffiths through a glass barrier at the first of two hearings on Friday. Others shouted abuse at Griffiths as he arrived in a police van. Griffiths, sporting a black shirt and dark jeans, showed little emotion, staring silently at the floor and sometimes fidgeting and touching his head. Griffiths joined Bradford University in 2004 as a student in local history. His research is said to focus on comparing modern policing methods with those of detectives in the 19th century, British newspaper The Times reported. Police said the body parts of one of his victims, 36-year-old Suzanne Blamires, were found on Tuesday dumped in a nearby river. Blamires was last seen last Friday. The other two women both went missing in Bradford: Shelley Armitage, 31, disappeared in April; while Susan Rushworth, 43, has not been seen since last June. Police were still searching the apartment complex where Griffiths lived, and forensic officers and trained dogs were combing the city for the remains of Armitage and Rushworth. Judge James Goss adjourned the case until June 7, telling Griffiths his next appearance would be by video link to prison. Griffiths did not apply for bail. The case has drawn comparison to the so-called "Yorkshire Ripper" serial killings of 13 women in the 1970s. Peter Sutcliffe, a truck driver from Bradford, was jailed for life in 1981 after he was convicted of 13 murders and seven attempted murders. Three of his victims - many of them sex workers - were killed in Bradford.
