Multiple killer theory on murders | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
More than one person might have been involved in the killing of five women in Suffolk, a jury was told. | |
Prosecutor Peter Wright QC said police could not rule out the theory "another or others" may have played a part. | |
Tania Nicol, 19, Annette Nicholls, 29, Paula Clennell, 24, Gemma Adams, 25 and Anneli Alderton, 24, were all found dead around Ipswich in December 2006. | Tania Nicol, 19, Annette Nicholls, 29, Paula Clennell, 24, Gemma Adams, 25 and Anneli Alderton, 24, were all found dead around Ipswich in December 2006. |
At Ipswich Crown Court, Steve Wright, 49, denied killing the women, who all worked as prostitutes. | |
The prosecutor said one particular individual - supermarket worker Tom Stephens - could not be eliminated. | |
The admissions were made, as Mr Wright was making his closing speech at forklift truck driver Steve Wright's trial. | |
Jurors have been told Mr Wright's DNA was found on three of the women's bodies and forensic evidence from his clothes, home or car links him to all five. | |
But the prosecutor said others may have been involved either in the disappearance, the murder or the disposal of the women. | |
The trial continues. |
