Suffolk serial killer Steve Wright admits murdering 17-year-old in 1999
AI Summary
Steve Wright, already serving a life sentence for the murders of five women, admitted to the 1999 kidnap and murder of 17-year-old Victoria Hall. Wright changed his plea to guilty at the Old Bailey, where he was scheduled to stand trial for Hall's murder. The crime occurred after Hall disappeared during a night out in Felixstowe on September 18, 1999, and her body was found five days later in Creeting St Peter, about 25 miles away. Wright also admitted to the attempted kidnap of another woman, Emily Doherty, the day before Hall's disappearance. The judge will sentence Wright on Friday, allowing Hall's family to submit victim impact statements. Prosecutors highlighted similarities between Hall's murder and Wright's previous convictions, noting the victims were asphyxiated, left in similar locations, and shared physical characteristics.
