On December 2nd, 2006, the naked body of a woman was discovered in
woodland just south of the Suffolk satellite town of Ipswich. Over
the next ten days, four further bodies were found. All were naked.
All were prostitutes. All had worked in Ipswich's red light
district. All five had been strangled.These tragic events caused a
local, national and international media explosion. Police were
drafted in from forces all over the country in a desperate effort
to stop this terrifying serial murderer. The speed of developments
stunned everybody, and then Tom Stephens, a 37 year-old supermarket
worker from Ipswich who had known all five women and sold his story
to a Sunday tabloid newspaper was arrested. Just days later, a 48
year-old forklift truck driver named Steven Wright was taken into
custody, forensic teams swooping on his bed-sit in the middle of
Ipswich's red light area, all in the full glare of the media
spotlight. Wright was charged and remanded in custody to await
trial whilst Stephens was bailed. The murders ceased, and the
British public felt a collective surge of relief. The media had
named both men, and Wright especially underwent a 'trial by media'
even before he was charged.This is the shocking story of the
Ipswich Killer. From the discovery of the bodies, the impact on the
families of the victims, the biggest police investigation ever
mounted in Suffolk, the trial and the verdict, and whether the
outcome could have been prejudiced by the naming of the arrested
men so early on. This is the story of a series of murders, which
produced more fear and terror than any in Britain since the hunt
for the Yorkshire Ripper twenty-five years earlier.
