Wright found guilty of Ipswich murders
Updated on 21 February 2008
Steve Wright is facing life in jail after being found guilty today of murdering five prostitutes.
Wright, 49, was convicted today after a six-week trial at Ipswich Crown Court.
Wright, from Ipswich, who once worked as a steward on the QE2, had denied killing Gemma Adams, 25, Tania Nicol, 19, Anneli Alderton, 24, Paula Clennell, 24, and Annette Nicholls, 29.
The remains of the five women, who all worked as prostitutes in Ipswich, were found in isolated spots near the town during a 10-day period in December 2006.
Detectives launched an inquiry after Miss Nicol vanished in late October 2006.
Prosecutors said Wright "systematically selected and murdered" the prostitutes over a six-and-a-half-week period.
They said he stalked the red-light district near his home when partner Pam Wright, 59, was working nights at a call centre.
He will be sentenced tomorrow.
