Summary
Steve Wright was already one of Britain’s most notorious killers. Known as the Suffolk Strangler, he was given a whole life sentence in 2008 for murdering five women in Ipswich. The case shocked the nation and left lasting scars on a community that had felt safe.
But the story did not end there.
In 2026, Wright admitted to the murder of seventeen year old Victoria Hall, a crime that had remained unsolved for nearly three decades. Her family had waited years for answers.
This episode of Blood Ties revisits the case. Six victims. One killer. And a truth that proves some stories are far darker than we first believe and asks whether justice can ever truly arrive when the past keeps returning again.
