'Hello. Welcome to Suffolk Today.

'The nightmare gets worse.

'Two more bodies discovered by police

'investigating the killings of prostitutes in Suffolk,

'bringing the total to five.

'Well, let's go back now to Simon Newton live in Ipswich.'

'This is an investigation that's changing by the hour.

'We have five women found dead in the space of ten days

'and two more bodies found here this morning.

'So we have more than one method of killing.

'So the question today, really, does this mean there's more than one killer?'

'The manhunt for the multiple murderer enters a new phase.

'The feelings of vulnerability are not helped

'by the knowledge of whoever carried this murdering spree

'is still free to attack again.

'This huge investigation has had a profound impact.

'Experts say it could haunt this place

'with traditionally low levels of crime for a long time.'

'Simon, what's the atmosphere like there right now?

'Well, I think there's generally A sense of disbelief across this town

'And also a great sense of sadness

'I've lived in this town For several years

'And there is an eerie air Hanging over it

'Though this town itself Will bounce back

'It can only do that When this killer is caught

'And today the answer to that May lie in Ipswich itself

"Mam"

'Police stop and question drivers

'In the red-light district

'Officers still trying To trace the last movements

'Of the five murdered prostitutes

'There are now more Than 350 police officers from 31 forces

'As far afield as Northern Ireland Working on this case...

'Experts say it could haunt this place With traditionally low levels of crime...

'Northern Ireland There are now more than 350...

'...the method of killing...

- 'Ipswich Ripper' - 'The Ipswich Ripper'

- 'Ripper' - 'Ripper'

Everyone is very, very nervous

and very unsure of everything

It was sort of six years ago

when Portman Road started expanding its football team.

And a new stadium went up that...

That prostitutes seemed to come up this way.

We had reported the prostitutes.

I confronted one. "Get out of my road! I'll call the police!"

- Well, I... - She said, "Call the police." And I did.

Their whole attitude with us...

...makes it really hard for me to have much sympathy

for, you know, what happened.

We had a girl at the bottom of me drive. She's in the car.

She said, "Do you mind sort of moving off?" I said, "Just..."

I swore at her, I admit.

Anyway, saying, like, "if you keep on at me,

"I'm gonna sort of get my pimp to burn your house down."

I know what you're up to. If I see you here again, I'm gonna call the police.

It was... it was absolutely awful.

They wrecked... wrecked our, my evenings.

You know, they're on my streets.

You know, my children are out at night.

I've got, I've got a teenage girl.

I've got, I've got a 14-year old.

I don't want girls... erm... doing what they did in the streets.

And they weren't just... getting in people's cars.

They were doing it in the alleyways and everything else.

They certainly weren't angels.

Lots of them talking about them being lovely girls and everything,

but in all our experience they were... foul-mouthed slags

who'd stab you as quick as...

- That's an exaggeration. - It's a slight exaggeration.

They did pester you.

They'd rob you as much as anything else.

Yeah.

No, because people, kerb crawlers,

sort of upset people's children, you know.

Daughters and things. And then there's the girls.

I mean, you coming back from football and things like that.

He was always being sort of propositioned, you know. Sort of.

Poor old sod!

It's been like this for years, but I don't want my children to see that.

We all wanted to move. We didn't want to be here.

Then these girls... just going missing

and... and being found the way they... they were found.

It was a complete nightmare.

London Road, please.

'And of course there are reports the Met is closing on potential suspects.

'Although police won't be drawn on the exact figure,

'it's thought there are around 5O people they're very interested in talking to.'

It's, it's hard to find to fathom out.

Anybody doing it, really, isn't it?

Wha, wha, what was their motive behind it?

Were there signs of this type of behaviour? It just...

He's a white male aged between 23 and 47

He'll live in the local area

He would have been fascinated Absolutely fascinated

With murders in his younger youth...

'Silent night

He would have tortured animals

Up till his mid-teens as well

Then he'd have had a number Of numerous relationships

Up until he was about 25, 26

They'll have been failed He's probably been married

Lives on his own but with a partner

And he'll definitely Definitely, definitely

Know all the victims

Apart from one... realistically

And that'll have been his one That he mucked up on

Cos the other ones Would have been fine with going with him

And it's probably why he strangled her?

Because she panicked...

'Virgin mother and child...

It's, it's hard to fathom out anybody doing it, really, isn't it?

Wha, wha, what was their motive behind it? it just...

It just...

l-I-I've studied serial killers Since in my mid-teens

And it doesn't mean I'm... I am one

But, er...

Oh, right.

Just find it interesting

But, but, as I say, you know Just to emphasise

It doesn't make me a serial killer so...

Gives me a bit of the shudders

Quite honestly

'... in heavenly peace...'

His failed relationships will be Because he became violent when drunk

Actually, he'll be an alcoholic

Or he'll have trouble With substance abuse as well

And also in the last... last six weeks

Actually, about the last Two... two months approximately

He'd have probably quit his job

Or he'd be off sick

Or to that effect... he, er... He, he'll be a local in the local pubs

He'll be a bit of a loner

But, erm, that's it, spot on who he is

I guarantee it...

'Holy infant so tender and mild...

- It's horrifying, isn't it? - Yeah

l-I-I've studied serial killers Since in my mid-teens

And it doesn't mean I'm... I am one

- But, er... - Oh, right

Just, er, find it interesting

But, but as I say, you know Just to emphasise

It doesn't make me a serial killer so...

It gives me a bit of the shudders Quite honestly

Er, for each girl there was a team,

a different team, and they all questioned us.

And it... it was getting awful.

We were so getting fed up with just being asked, you know.

They were asking if you had nose hair.

Ear hair.

Wha... wha... Goodness knows why they wanted to know that.

Police kept issuing these strange things about what you should and shouldn't do,

but they never said, "Don't be a prostitute and get into a stranger's car,"

which was the obvious thing, really, wasn't it?

Cos everyone else was quite safe walking the streets.

We assumed particularly when, I mean, it was just prostitutes he seemed to be...

Murdering.

When they did the house questions, you know, that was really...

I thought he was gonna be arrested.

There was a knock on the door. Terry said, "You're wanted. In the lounge. Police."

He was doing every house. Every single house in London Road.

Er, your mind goes blank. "Where was you on Monday night?" sort of thing.

Can't remember exactly the date. And you think, "Well, where was I'? What did I do?"

Then he said, "What colour...? Have you got blue eyes?" I said yes I think.

Yeah, you said yes.

Then he said, "Have you got a hairy chest?"

And I looked at him and thought, you know, "Where is this leading to?"

I got up and all I could see were police cars going up the road

And of course, you know

I, we knew

Obviously it was in charge of, you know

Something to do with these poor girls

That's it...

And that's when it all started it all kicked off

Well, I got woken up by the telephone Me son rung me on his mo...

On, on my home phone I said, "Where are you?"

He said, "I'm down the road but you need To tell the police that I'm your son"

I said, "Why? What have you done?"

And that's when it all started it all kicked off

He said, "No, no, no We're not allowed down the road"

And lo and behold there was police There was cameras, there was my son

It all started It all kicked off

You looked up the road And it's all you saw

Was like a tented, a tented area

You looked up the road And it's all you saw

Was like a tented, a tented area

And outside number 79

And outside number 79

You looked up the road And it's all you saw

Was like a tented, a tented area

You looked up the road And it's all you saw

Was like a tented, a tented area

And outside number 79

And outside number 79

And I thought, "Oh, no There's another prostitute been found"

I got up And all I could see were police cars

going up the road

And of course, you know I, we knew

Obviously it was in charge of, you know

Something to do with these poor girls

But, erm...

But, erm, that's when it all started

It all kicked off

I got up And all I could see were police cars

going up the road

And of course, you know I, we knew

Obviously it was in charge of, you know Something to do with these poor girls

But, erm...

And that's when it started It all kicked off

And didn't we...?

Then we started hearing on the news

That someone had been arrested there Or someone had been arrested

And so we just put Two and two together and said

"I think they've just arrested Our next-door neighbour

I got up And all I could see were police cars

going up the road

And of course, you know I, we knew

Obviously it was in charge of, you know Something to do with these poor girls

But, erm...

This is London Road. This is where the second suspect was arrested.

So I think Steve Wright.

Oi... Oi!

Oi!

Right, you want me to talk into that at the beginning?

They're not very happy about the... intrusion.

Sorry'?

Sam?

- No! - Stand back!

'I'm here in London Road. The white tent...'

Oh, we're inside there. All a little bit weird.

'Next door there's the concerned residents looking on.'

- Please, further back. - Keep rolling, Seb. Keep rolling.

'A very heavy police presence.

'They're very unhappy at our being here. We are trying to get you some shots.'

'Assert the barrier with our bodies

'in respect of where the line is.

'Sorry.

'Excuse me. Back behind the tape.'

- Yeah, we're trying to get a link. - Ten minutes.

'Get back! Come on! Move!

'I'm being apprehended by the police.

'Get back! Get back!'

'...79 London Road where a tented area has been erected.

'The suspect has been arrested, Mr Steven Wright.'

Can we go down that way?

I'm afraid you have to go round.

- Back round 'ere? - Yes. Sorry about that.

It's all right.

- When's this gonna be over? - I don't know. Wouldn't be able to say.

- Friday? - I wouldn't know. I would be guessing.

- Saturday? - I'd be guessing at Saturday as well!

- Sunday? - No. I dunno.

Monday's Christmas! It can't be Monday!

- Can we just come here? - Yeah. No worries about that bit.

It's against the law. I don't know whether I'm coming or going round this area!

You're not allowed through that bit basically.

Have you got the man that done it then?

- They won't even tell us. - Won't they? I know the girls.

Mind you, flippin' half the town, if you were to pull 'em in,

probably went with them girls.

Except for yours truly.

- Hopefully not yourself? - No!

Cos I won't give 5O quid to a little scaggy little whore.

No. Anyway, looks like my relief's turned up, so I'm gonna get a coffee.

- Can't be a bad thing. Take care anyway. - OK. And you.

I think it was policing as we'd like to see it every time.

Bobbies standing at your house, making sure no nasty people got near you.

You'd feel like the Prime Minister, wouldn't you?

Yeah. The road was ever so quiet and nobody stole our festive wreath this year.

Yeah.

If somebody knows you live opposite, they wanna know...

Think you've got inside information, which I... you haven't.

You've just got what's in the... journalists are saying.

The police don't tell you anything, do they?

They're not allowed to, are they?

We had no post. No bin men.

Erm... if we had post, the postman had to be escorted by police.

Inside the cordon.

'It's half-past ten.

'This is BBC News 24.

'Live coverage of the arrival in court of the 48-year-old man

'who's been charged with murdering five prostitutes.

'Steven Wright will appear inside Ipswich Magistrates Court

'within the next half hour.

'Our colleague, Chris Eakin, is at the court

'and Chris, talk us what we're expecting to happen.

'The building over here is just the main police station in Ipswich,

'but it is this very dull and drab, ominous building,

'which is the Magistrates Court and which will be the focal point,

The center of attention for at least the next hour

'T-T-This is now the moment that Steven Wright faces the charges,

'if formally charged with these five murders of the five women.'

All of this happened quite suddenly.

A very dramatic announcement last night, late last night,

that Steven Wright was charged with these five murders.

I've been here since about half-nine

I just saw him come along Like, with the police sirens and that

And they were, you know

None of the photographers caught him

Caught any photos of him Or anything but...

Just waiting to get a glimpse, really

Just waiting to get a glimpse, really

His name is Steven Wright. He's 48. He's a fork-lift truck driver.

He's from London Road in Ipswich.

That's pretty well it.

I tell you, if I get hold of him... huh,huh,huh!

I really... I've never seen anything like it.

I said to my brother I said, "What's going on?"

I said, "What's happened?"

He says, he says, "Cos the bloke"

He said "He's in court this morning, isn't he?"

And then when I came up here I thought "Oh, my word! Am I gonna get parked?"

Cos they've taken All the spaces along here

Oh, dear?

- Yeah, look at this, look at this - It's horrible, innit, eh?

It's a wicked bloody world

Yeah, look at this, look at this

It's horrible, innit, eh?

It's a wicked bloody world...

I'm just hearing some sirens, actually,

and as he's gonna come from this direction,

we'll just turn our camera round that way.

So that we do actually see this convoy when it happens. Turn round this way.

They're obviously on the verge Of bringing him out

Cos the position the cars are in

The position, the cars, the police They're all in position, look

They're obviously on the verge Of bringing him out

Cos the position the cars are in

The position, the cars, the police They're all in position, look

You look around and you think "Well, you know"

"Have they got the right...?"

He said "He's in court this morning, isn't he?"

And then when I came up here I thought, "Oh, my word!"

- The position of the cars, the police - ...spaces along here

Hello...

Police motorbikes coming up the road, not from the direction we were expecting,

so I imagine it's not the convoy.

They're closing in...

It might be, actually.

They're closing in

He's obviously coming out...

I think it is.

They're closing in That's why the police

I could see them stopping traffic Up there an' all

Oh, dear

Yeah, look at this, look at this It's horrible, innit, eh?

It's a wicked bloody world

It looks like we've got Steven Wright now.

He's definitely in the back of the van.

- Waste of time, wasn't it? - It's a disgrace.

Oi. Hey! Get away then!

We're really upset

It's just a chance The one place in the... in the whole world

Where... he went to live for ten weeks

Could have been anywhere

Could have been next door to you

Could have been next door to you

Everybody would rather it all went away

They must have sleepless nights

I know I do

It was awful. I was very upset.

In the evening, you know, I'd just close the curtains and erm...

It really made me very depressed and low. I just feel it's...

- I think there's a... - It's like a dream still.

I, I don't know. I don't think I've really...

- I think... - Really come to accept it.

I... try to... keep going.

Nobody walks... nobody walks down that road with, with...

And I'm the same. Without staring at that house.

During the day I had quite a bit of trouble with children.

hm, coming and really looking...

One of them threatened me talking about,

"He's a murderer and everything. You should move" and...

He was only there for ten weeks

Ten weeks

He was only there for ten weeks

Ten weeks

It's just a chance

The one place In the... in the whole world where he...

Went to live for ten weeks

Could have been anywhere Could have been next door to you

Could have been next door to you

Everybody would rather it all went away

They must have sleepless nights

I know I do

When they boarded the house up, that's when I really didn't like it.

- We were thinking of moving. - Well, you were, particularly.

It just sort of de-de-depressed me.

It depressed me living next door, you know,

and I just sort of thought, "Oh, I wanna be in a nice area."

I was thinking about moving once, I was, yeah.

I'm moving. 14th March.

We're really upset

I just wanted him... It to be all over... and to know

Were tho...

Were those prostitutes Killed in that house?

They must have sleepless nights

I know I do

- Hello. - Hello.

Oh, right.

- I've seen you. - I'm Ron. I live at number 86.

Well, this is the third time That Steve Wright

Well, this is the third time That Steve Wright

Well, this is the third time That Steve Wright

He arrived here at Ipswich Crown Court

But it's the first time That he's formally entered a plea

- But it wasn't until two o'clock - That he stood up

That he stood up - Dressed in a black suit, white shirt

And blue tie - White shirt and spoke

- And spoke clearly - And confidently

And confidently when he was asked

How he would plead To each of the five counts of murder?

They were read out in this order

Well, this is The third time that Steve Wright

Has appeared in court

But it's the first time That he's formally entered a plea

But it's the first time That he's formally entered a plea

He arrived here at Ipswich Crown Court

But it wasn't Until two o'clock this afternoon

That he stood up dressed in

A blue tie, black suit, white shirt

And spoke clearly and confidently

When he was asked

How he would plead To each of the five counts of murder?

That were read out in this order

Clara Martin

Her body was the second to be found

Although she was the first woman To go missing

Anna Reynolds

Her body was, was the first to be found

On 3rd December.

Annie Collingwood

Whose body was found in Acton

Was found in... in Acton

Sonia Farrell, Michelle Symonds

Their bodies were of course Found in Levington

Found of course A few hundred yards apart

Just a few hundred yards from each other

In Levington.

We know that all women Were working in the town as prostitutes

And all their bodies were found naked

To each one of those counts of murder Steve Wright, er, pleaded

Not guilty

We thought with everything happening over the Christmas period,

with the prostitutes going missing and being murdered,

we needed to get together as a community.

We got a lot of bad press when it was all going on,

saying sort... Lon, London Road was a prostitute area and so forth like that,

and we just got absolutely cheesed off with it as a... as a community.

It is, it's, it's not nice being labelled.

So we got together and... and managed to get a real good committee going.

Good evening, welcome

Good evening, welcome

Good evening, welcome

Good evening, welcome

Welcome, welcome

Good evening, welcome

Good evening

Welcome, welcome

Good evening

This really is our first AGM

Under exceptional circumstances

To clear the streets as they have done

Believe it or not

Begonias and petunias

And, erm, impatiens and things

It's a terrible shame. It's...

I mean, we're reaping the benefits of what's happened, really, which is, er...

There's always a silver lining.

Look, we turned this around, like, and this is, this is what is possible.

I would like in maybe two or three years, it's gonna take time, I know,

cos of all red tape and what have you and town hall, you know, Munchkins...

...is for the world's press to come back in three years' time and say,

"This was then. This is now."

I don't think anybody really thought that they were bad girls.

You know, I mean, they were in a way,

but they weren't hurting anybody else, were they?

That was only their selves they were to hurting, weren't it?

I think we've been scarred.

Forever.

Women will never trust men again

and men will always... wonder what women are thinking.

You know, people have been... yeah, affected by this

and... I guess they always will.

I've almost got this mental picture of when those girls got up to heaven.

That Saint Peter said, "Come in," and they, and they said something like...

..."Do you mean it's over? Do you mean it's finished?

"Do you mean, erm, they can't hurt me anymore?"

I can imagine for, erm, people that lived outside the area

where the prostitutes hadn't affected anyone,

you would get a different opinion.

You'd get people feeling sorry for them and so forth... you know.

I feel sorry for the families, but not them.

You know'?

It was just a pain in the arse. They were a complete pain in the neck.

You know, they're...

they're better off... sitting under.

That's a horrible thing to say, isn't it? But what's happened has happened.

But I'm not... I'm not sad.

You know'?

I'd still shake his hand.

I'd love to just shake his hand and say, "Thank you for getting rid of them."

I mean, I would, you know, if you had the, at the end of the day,

if you had the courage to do it, then... erm...

I'd shake their hand if I had the courage, but I would... I wouldn't do it, but...

I can have that thought in my... my head

to say, "Yeah, thank you very much."?

Oh, God!

Wow

Oh, wow! It's just...

Oh, wow! I think they peaked today.

Well, probably about, like, Wednesday. Don't you think, Julie?

People have put hanging baskets out this year

that have never done hanging baskets or pots before in their lives.

But they made a real effort for London Road In Bloom.

Oh, God! Wow!

I don't know a weed from a plant, I don't!

But I did do a... a pot.

Yes, we got June's pot.

These are double petunias.

- I love these. Look! - Yeah.

Fantastic! Oh, the gardener's wife!

- Animals on the windowsill. - Where?

Oh, this is great!

It's so...

It's nautical, religious, floral.

- All of human life is here! - Yeah.

Oh, look! Fabulous! It's just...

Look! Gnomes!

I gotta say, it's Jesus that does it for me here.

It's a bit of Lourdes in London Road.

And if I ask something that you don't wanna ans...

then that's fine, just tell me to...

Christina said you'll tell me to shut up anyway.

So, erm, I know, erm, what you're all, you know, involved in work-wise.

Used to be. We've all stopped.

- We've all stopped working now. - OK.

Because of the murders we've all stopped.

That's why we all stopped. I stopped like a month before the murders.

We've got regulars that phone and we see, you know.

Won't work the street, but we've got a few regulars.

Ever since the murders took place, like, there's no point going down there for one

because all the cars get stopped and you just get arrested all the time.

They weren't nicking us. They were nicking the men.

I wanna get myself clean.

If I could do anything, you know, like, I'd get myself clean for them almost.

I got up and all I could see were police cars going up the road.

And, of course, you know, like, we knew, obviously, it was in charge.

- Something to do with these poor girls. - Yeah.

But erm... And that's when it all started. it all kicked off.

You think it could be him. Yeah.

That he could be amongst us

and walking around with us every day and we don't know.

Like, anyone. It could anyone in here, which has now really soared me.

Now I'm thinking about it, I'm just gonna, like, cry!

This was the third time Steve Wright has appeared in court,

but it's the first time that he's formally entered a plea.

He arrived here at Ipswich Crown Court shortly after nine o'clock this morning,

but it wasn't until two o'clock this afternoon that he stood up,

dressed in a black suit, white shirt and blue tie,

and spoke clearly and confidently when he was asked how he would plea

to each of the five counts of murder.

They were read out in this order...

I've been here since about half-nine.

I just saw him come along, like, with the police, sirens and that.

They were... you know... None of the photographers caught him.

Caught any photos of him or anything but...

Just waiting to get a glimpse, really.

Yeah, look at this. Look at this.

It's horrible, innit, eh?

It's a wicked bloody world.

Yourself, I mean, you'd be, as far as I'm, well, as far as I'm aware,

about the only person that has actually come down here

and asked the residents how they feel.

I think this is absolutely fantastic.

So many people here tonight.

I haven't counted you all.

Seeing everybody have a great time, that's what it's all about.

I would like to congratulate everyone

that's really worked hard on their gardens.

Even the people that haven't won. it doesn't matter.

It's sharing their gardens with everyone else and really working hard

and making London Road what London Road is -

a fantastic road.
