My girl's killer can sit and rot

Evil Wright faces rest of his life in prison

THE father of murdered teenager Victoria Hall says he hopes Suffolk Strangler Steve Wright sits and rots in prison.

Graham Hall spoke out after the serial killer was last week told he would almost certainly die behind bars after finally admitting Victoria's kidnap and murder in 1999.

A-level student Victoria, 17, from Trimley St Mary, Suffolk, was snatched by Wright, 67, while on a night out with a friend in Felixstowe.

Wright, who was already jailed for life in 2008 for killing five women in the Ipswich area, was sentenced to life again at the Old Bailey in London on Friday.

Graham told the BBC about the moment he came face to face with his daughter's killer in court as he was jailed for 40 years.

And he told how the murderer had robbed him and Victoria's mother, Lorinda - who died in December aged 70 - of "potential grandchildren".

Graham said: "I looked at him; I honestly do think he felt it. When he first went in, he looked straight ahead, but a lot of the time his head was down.
