		</div><p>A serial killer could be responsible for the multiple murders of pensioners in the UK, according to a confidential report leaked to the press.</p>
<p>The Sunday Times claimed the report raises concerns two suspected double murders in Wilmslow, Cheshire, could have been the work of an offender unknown to the police.</p>
<p>The first two double killings happened in 1996 and 1999 only two miles apart. In both cases husbands were previously thought to have murdered their wives before killing themselves.</p>
<p>But after re-examining the cases using modern techniques, the report finds both cases were likely to have been double murders, reports The Sunday Times.</p>
<p>Cheshire Police said they were conducting a review of the findings in the report, which was handed to the force last month, the newspaper said.</p>
<p>They are also said to have alerted Greater Manchester and Cumbria Police – where some of the killings took place.</p>
<p>The 179-page report calls on the National Crime Agency and Interpol to review cases in Britain and Europe to determine whether there are more related murders.</p>
<p>“This individual will not stop killing until someone or something stops him,” the report is quoted as saying.</p>
<p>The report, written by Stephanie Davies, the senior coroner’s officer for Cheshire, is supported by evidence from her predecessor at the time of the first deaths and a US-based crime-scene analysis expert.</p>
<p>The deaths of Howard and Bea Ainsworth and Donald and Auriel Ward were considered by police to be murder-suicides.</p>
<p>Both couples were discovered lying on blood-soaked beds in their nightclothes.</p>

<p>Similarities between the cases included the extremity of violence, with knives left in bodies at the crime scene; injuries to the head from a blunt weapon and stab wounds; and the fact that the women had been left with their nightdresses lifted.</p>
<p>The report points to “a number of inconsistencies which do not corroborate the original manner of death of being murder suicide”.</p>
<p>It also identifies a further three murder-suicide cases, in 2000, 2008 and 2011 which should be reviewed, two in Greater Manchester and one in the Lake District.</p>
<p>In each case police said the wife had been stabbed and hit on the head with a blunt object by the husband before he took his own life.</p>
<p>A spokesman for Cheshire Police told The Sunday Times: “We are in receipt of the report and it is being reviewed. This is a piece of research which has been undertaken by the staff member, independently.</p>
<p>“As with any case that has been closed, where new information comes to light it is reviewed and acted upon if appropriate. We have notified Greater Manchester Police and Cumbria constabulary.”</p>
