Serial killer Wright admits murder of teen in 1999

[arista]

[Serial killer Steve Wright has pleaded
guilty to kidnapping and murdering
a 17-year-old girl more than 25 years ago in Suffolk.

Victoria Hall's naked body was
found five days after she had enjoyed
a night out in Felixstowe in September 1999.

Wright, who is already serving
a whole life jail sentence for
murdering five women in and
around Ipswich in 2006,
appeared at the Old Bailey where a trial
was initially due to take place.

However, the 67-year-old changed
his pleas to all the charges and also
admitted the attempted kidnap of
a 22-year-old woman the night before
Victoria disappeared. He is due to be
sentenced on Friday.

Suffolk Police said Victoria's family had
"waited over 26 years for this day"
and it was "so very pleased that we have
been able to deliver justice".

…evil, evil man…and he admitted to attempting to kidnapping another young woman just the day before he took and killed Victoria Hall …I’m so glad that her family were able to see and hear that guilty plea…


…I recall the Ipswich murders as it’s very local to where I lived at the time and I know someone who had involvement ….there was an excellent dramatised account as well called Five Daughters, I think it was…

Hopefully he rots in Prison.

He should be hanged.

I reckon there's very little doubt he's also responsible for the other unsolved murders in East anglia as he lived in the norwich area at the time

Wright is also sentenced to 12 years for the kidnapping of Victoria and nine years for the attempted kidnapping of Emily Doherty - all of the sentences will run concurrently

"Perhaps the only thing that can be said in your favour is that you pleaded guilty," Mr Justice Bennathan says as he delivers the sentence - he adds that Wright will "die in prison"

Wright is already serving a whole-life sentence for the murders of five women near Ipswich in 2006

Victoria's friend Gemma told the court in a victim impact statement that her friend's murder "turned her life upside down", while her brother Steven says he will miss Victoria "every day" for the rest of his life

Gemma heard two screams shortly after they parted ways after a night out, the Old Bailey heard earlier

Meanwhile, Emily Doherty, who escaped an attempted kidnapping by Wright, says she was made to feel like a "silly little girl" by police when she reported the incident
