London - A serial killer is believed to be on the loose on a Bahamas holiday island after the bodies of two women, one a British tourist, were found dumped in bushes.

Ms Joanne Clarke (24) was found strangled on Saturday afternoon off a secluded beach on Paradise Island, a resort near Nassau, police said. The other woman's body, dumped close by, was badly decomposed but she was also thought to have been strangled. She was believed to be a 32-year-old American teacher, who went missing in July. The bodies were in bushes separating the island's golf course from a secluded part of Cabbage Beach.
