Jury told murder motive may remain a mystery

THE reason why Steve Wright murdered five prostitutes in the space of a few weeks may remain a mystery forever, a jury was told yesterday.

Prosecutor Peter Wright told Ipswich Crown Court the world may never know what drove Wright toembark upon his “campaign” of murder.

But he told jurors it was “certain” Wright had murdered Gemma Adams, 25, Tania Nicol, 18, Anneli Alderton, 24, Paula Clennell, 24, and Annette Nicholls, 29.
