Prostitutes’ bodies ‘left in shape of crucifix’

A FORKLIFT truck driver murdered five prostitutes within weeks and left the bodies of two posed in a “cruciform” shape, a jury was told yesterday.

Former pub landlord Steve Wright, of Ipswich, Suffolk, might not have been alone when he killed the women in late December 2006 before dumping their bodies in isolated spots, Ipswich Crown Court heard.

Wright, who lived in the Ipswich red light district when the women died, denies murdering Gemma Adams, 25, Tania Nicol, 19, Anneli Alderton, 24, Paula Clennell, 24, and Annette Nicholls, 29.
