A man facing charges in the murder case of Victoria Hall, a 17-year-old from Trimley St Mary, Suffolk, over 25 years ago, has a history of previous convictions related to the murders of five other women. Victoria Hall went missing after leaving her home on September 18, 1999, to visit a nightclub in Felixstowe. Her body was found five days later in a ditch in Creeting St Peter, approximately 25 miles away from where she was last seen.
Steve Wright, 66, previously residing in Ipswich, has been accused of kidnapping and killing Victoria Hall, as well as attempting to kidnap another woman in Felixstowe. Wright has entered a plea of not guilty. The judge, Mr. Justice Bennathan, has approved the disclosure of Wright’s past convictions for the five other murders to the jury before the upcoming trial at the Old Bailey next month.
During a pre-trial hearing, the defendant, appearing via videolink from HMP Long Lartin, was detained in custody pending the trial scheduled to commence on February 2.
