Suffolk serial killer Steve Wright has been charged with murdering a 17-year-old girl more than 25 years ago, it can be reported.

Victoria Hall’s body was found five days after a night out in Felixstowe in September 1999.

Wright, 67, who is already serving a whole life jail sentence, denies killing her and is due to stand trial.

At a hearing at the Old Bailey in London, the judge has ruled a jury can be made aware of Wright’s previous convictions for the murder of five women who worked as prostitutes in the Ipswich area in 2006.
