"Staggering to his feet in the dock of the Old Bailey this week, serial killer Steve Wright uttered a word he has refused to use for 20 years: Guilty. The seismic moment marked the first time one of Britain's most notorious murderers, now a balding pensioner who will die in prison, had ever admitted to one of his crimes. But his shocking confession to the murder of Victoria Hall in 1999,"
"His ex-wife Diane Cole, 71, said: I think this is just the beginning. I suspect he has killed quite a few other women. She urged police to question him over the 1986 disappearance of 25-year-old estate agent Suzy Lamplugh, who he used to know when they worked together on board the QE2 ocean liner. Ms Lamplugh vanished without a trace after leaving her London office to meet a client known as Mr Kipper'."
Steve Wright admitted guilt for the 1999 abduction and murder of 17-year-old Victoria Hall, marking his first ever admission of a crime. He had later carried out a six-week killing spree in 2006 that resulted in five murders and his capture, earning the nickname the Suffolk Strangler. Wright is a balding pensioner who will die in prison and was jailed for 40 years for Hall's killing. The confession raised questions about whether Hall was his first victim or whether other unsolved murders and disappearances relate to him. His ex-wife urged police to question Wright over Suzy Lamplugh's 1986 disappearance and other possible victims.
