Suzy family: Quiz Suffolk Strangler

THE FAMILY of Suzy Lamplugh last night demanded cops quiz Suffolk Strangler Steve Wright over her suspected murder.

Suzy’s brother, Richard, 61, spoke out after detectives arrested Wright just over a week ago on suspicion of killing 17-year-old Victoria Hall, who was dumped naked in a ditch 22 years ago.

The serial killer – serving a lifetime in prison for murdering five women in 10 days in 2006 – was originally linked to Suzy’s murder two years after he was jailed. Both had worked aboard the QE2 at the same time in the 1980s.

Estate agent Suzy, 25, left her West London offices in 1986 to meet a mystery client known only as “Mr Kipper” for a viewing in Fulham and was never seen again. She was declared dead, presumed murdered, seven years later.

Cops ruled out Wright in 2012, believing psychopath John Cannan a more likely suspect – but no one has been convicted of her killing.

Temper Wright’s own dad, Conrad Wright, even questioned if his son had been behind Suzy’s abduction after discovering a picture of them together in the 1980s.

Suzy’s brother Richard said: “I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t speak to Wright about Suzy’s murder. They are trying to solve another case and are probably concentrating on that one.
