Jurors shown body-find locations | |
(1 day later) | |
Jurors in the murder trial of Steve Wright have visited sites where the bodies of five women were found. | |
The women, who had been working as prostitutes, were found dead in isolated spots near Ipswich, Suffolk, in the space of 10 days in 2006. | |
The jury also stopped outside the London Road home of 49-year-old Mr Wright, who denies murdering the women and is on trial at Ipswich Crown Court. | |
They then travelled outside the town to where the women's bodies were found. | |
The judge, Mr Justice Gross, told jurors not to inspect any floral tributes they may see. | |

During the prosecution opening last week, the court heard how Tania Nicol, 19, Gemma Adams, 25, Anneli Alderton, 24, Paula Clennell, 24, and 29-year-old Annette Nicholls went missing during six weeks from October to December 2006. | |
The jury of nine men and three women first stopped outside the flat in a terraced house in Ipswich's red light district where Mr Wright lived before his arrest. | |

The jury later travelled to the area where the bodies of Miss Adams and Miss Nicol were found and were taken to a bridge which crossed a brook on the A1071 near Hintlesham. | |
Jurors were then taken to Hintlesham Fisheries, made up of two lakes divided by a track. | |
The court heard last week that Miss Adams' body was found in a brook near the fisheries on 2 December 2006. | |
Jurors later visited the site in nearby Copdock where Miss Nicol's body was found six days later. | |
They then travelled to Nacton, where Miss Alderton's body was discovered in woodland on 10 December. | |
Here, the jury studied an area of woodland just off the road before moving on to Levington where the bodies of Miss Clennell and Miss Nicholls were found. | |
Both sites are about five yards (4.6m) from the side of Old Felixstowe Road. | |
The jurors have been accompanied by Peter Wright, the prosecution barrister, and Timothy Langdale QC, who is representing Wright. | |
The trial has been adjourned until Tuesday morning. |
