Samantha Woolley, a specialist prosecutor who led the Crown Prosecution Service case
against Wright, says justice “has finally been achieved” for Victoria Hall who was kidnapped and murdered in 1999.
“The
meticulous work we have carried out with Suffolk Police, supporting their
restarted investigation over the past six years and working hard to build
this case to court, has resulted in Wright admitting his guilt,” Woolley says.
“This
outcome should make plain that time does not preclude a successful
prosecution; we will doggedly pursue justice for the victims of non-recent
crimes, no matter how many decades have passed.”
She adds her thoughts remain with Victoria’s family and all those who “loved and cherished” her, as well as with the victim of the attempted kidnap.
