Serial killer Steve Wright has pleaded guilty to the murder of a 17-year-old girl in Suffolk more than 25 years ago.
The 67-year-old, formerly of London Road, in Ipswich, appeared at the Old Bailey, in London.
Victoria Hall was on her way home to Trimley St Mary from a nightclub in Felixstowe when she vanished in 1999.
Her body was found in a ditch five days later near the village of Creeting St Peter, around 25 miles from where she was last seen.
Miss Hall had left her home on the evening of 18 September to go with a friend to the Bandbox nightclub.
The girls left the club at around 1am and parted ways at around 2.20am, yards from Miss Hall’s home.
That was the last time Miss Hall was seen alive.
Wright 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.
Known as the “Suffolk Strangler”, Wright is serving a whole life sentence for the murders of five women.
They were killed over a 10-day period in December 2006 and their bodies dumped at locations in Ipswich.
