In the winter of 2006 the town of Ipswich became home to one of Britain's most infamous Spree Killings. With a reputation for being quiet, reserved and straight laced, no-one suspected 50 year old Steven Wright to be responsible for the murder of five women. Behind closed doors the forklift driver had a history of gambling, various suicide attempts and was harbouring a habit for prostitution use. What he was about to do would shock Britain and see him labelled as the 'Suffolk Strangler.' Moving into the heart of Ipswich's red light district was the perfect opportunity for Wright to lead a double life. Whilst his wife was working night shifts, Wright slipped in to old familiar habits, curb crawling the streets and picking up a string of prostitutes. He built up a relationship with many of the women, becoming a regular customer and gaining their trust. These intimate bonds would lead to fatal consequences. The spree began in October 2006 when the first victim disappeared from the red light district in Ipswich. Within a matter of weeks five women would be reported missing and Suffolk constabulary would be at the centre of a major manhunt. However, it was only a matter of time before Steven Wright became too bold and confident - a single mistake would see DNA evidence link him to the crimes. With insight from those who lived through the crimes, investigated the case and knew him best, this episode explores the story of Steven Wright, and what caused him to embark on his killing spree.
