Wow this animal has been a violent rapist (and a killer) for years. The police have a lot to answer for their serious failings in this case.

Yes he preyed on mostly prostitutes.
It does not excuse the serious failings

I don’t know the details of this case but a serial killer with no connection to the victim is one of the hardest criminals to catch and convict. It took 25 years to catch the Green River Killer. Others have taken longer and only after advances in forensic DNA methods.

“Prostitute” is the term. Or “whore”, which is also accurate.

Jim Wilson, the former editor of the Sunday Mail, exposed Packer as the 'forgotten suspect' in 2015 on the anniversary of Miss Caldwell's murder, after which the case was reopened. So in the end, the cops didn't even solve the crime, after having detained and questioned Packer. It took 19 years to get justice. Pathetic.

She was a prostitute not a "Sex Worker". Did she receive a 1099 or w2 from her pimp?
She did not deserve what happened to her.

“convicted of 33 charges, including 11 charges of rape, against 22 women following a three-decade reign of physical and sexual violence between 1990 and 2016.” UK has intense gun registration and knife registration and “I do not like your Facebook page” registrations.
Too bad they are “too civilized” to have a rapists’ registration.

“hooker”
Aren’t you judgmental? Don’t you know it’s a legitimate business and we have to use the softer, kinder, less judgmental “sex worker”?
You are so far behind the times.

“It’s just one more version of the efforts to “soften” the english language.”
Or could it be possible the term was used to show respect for the dead woman, who certainly did not deserve what she got?
Jesus told the self-righteous Pharisees that the tax-collectors and prostitutes would enter the Kingdom Of God before they would.

Whoever allowed this animal pervert to live this long after these crimes should be punished as well. I’m all for an accused being afforded legal rights to a defense. But once it is proven that the crimes have been committed without any doubt, punishment should be just and swift.
