'Suffolk strangler' finally jailed for the murder of a sixth victim | ITV News

"Suffolk Strangler" Steve Wright has been told he will die in jail after being given another life sentence for the kidnap and murder of a schoolgirl whose naked body he dumped in a ditch.

Sentencing Wright to life with a minimum of 40 years, Mr Justice Bennathan said Victoria Hall was a "typical bright, lively teenager".

“Her father described her as having been a happy, loving child.

“She spent hours on the phone to her best friend, she was studying for her A-levels, she had a part-time job and loved to go out dancing.

“For reasons only you know, and most people will never start to comprehend, you snatched Victoria away and you crushed her young life.”
