POLICE are examining the links between a serial killer who dumped a victim near Droitwich Spa and other unsolved deaths.

Philip Smith, aged 36, of Sparkbrook, is serving a life sentence for the murders of three women.

Smith dumped the battered body of Birmingham woman Rosemary Corcoran in Rashwood on Remembrance Sunday last year.

Police from six forces gathered at the West Mercia Constabulary headquarters, in Hindlip Hall, last week to discuss unsolved cases.
