What Rhymes with Ipswich?

What we need with the Ipswich Murders is a good nickname. We've had the Yorkshire Ripper, the Hillside Strangler, Son of Sam, all handy monickers but like the Suffolk police we're scrambling around without a clue and with not much indication of a solution. The local press came up with the Suffolk Strangler. It's not that exciting and the Strangler bit has been overdone and maybe it's a little inaccurate. He, it's probably a he, may be a compresser, I'm not sure what the difference is between compressing and strangling and it was apparent this morning that neither are the police. That nice man heading up the investigation is likely to disappear over the next week and be replaced by somebody a bit harder and grunts a lot more. The Ipswich Compresser as a nick name doesn't exactly trip off the tongue and I'm finding it very difficult to find anything to rhyme with Ipswich; witch, bitch or maybe sonofabitch?
