Suffolk strangler pleads guilty to 1999 murder of Victoria Hall as Steve Wright admits sixth killing

Suffolk strangler Steve Wright has pleaded guilty to killing teenager Victoria Hall, his sixth murder victim.

Wright, now 67, had been due to go on trial at the Old Bailey for the murder of 17-year-old Victoria, who disappeared more than 25 years ago.

Wright, formerly of London Road, Ipswich, dramatically changed his plea on Monday and finally admitted Victoria’s kidnap “by force or fraud” and murder on September 19 1999.

He also pleaded guilty to the attempted kidnap of Emily Doherty, then aged 22, in Felixstowe the day before.

It is the first time Wright has admitted any killings, despite pleas from his family to come clean.

Balding and bespectacled Wright appeared in the dock of the Old Bailey in a navy and grey jumper, and spoke only to confirm his name and enter pleas.

Mr Justice Bennathan said he would sentence the defendant on Friday to give Ms Hall’s family the chance to attend and submit victim impact statements.
