April 24, 1958 - Steven Wright
Over a ten-week period in late 2006, five women were killed in and around Ipswich in what became one of the most significant serial murder investigations in modern British history. Wright targeted women working in street prostitution, and the speed and clustering of the deaths generated sustained national alarm before his arrest. The case drew sustained attention to the vulnerabilities of those on the margins of the sex trade, and Wright's conviction rested on extensive forensic evidence linking him to each victim.
