Murder Trial: The Suffolk Strangler

Drama-documentary centring on serial killer Steve Wright. In early February 2026, the former forklift driver pleaded guilty to the murder of Victoria Hall, 27 years after the 17-year-old was found dead after going missing in 1999. Over a two-week period in December 2006, five sex workers were found dead, their bodies dumped in rural locations outside Ipswich. Suffolk police launched their biggest manhunt, for a suspected serial killer on the loose - and on the rampage. A DNA match led police to Wright, who would go on to be known as the Suffolk Strangler

Murder Trial: The Suffolk Strangler airs on 5 at 9:00 PM, Thursday 19 February. (Subtitles, new.)
