STRANGLER KILLED SUZI’
THE father of the Suffolk Strangler believes his serial killer son may have murdered estate agent Suzy Lamplugh.
Conrad Wright says he is “troubled” by pictures of Steven Wright with estate agent Suzy, before she vanished in 1986.
Wright is serving a lifetime in prison for murdering five women in 10 days in 2006 – Britain’s fastest serial killing spree.
Scotland Yard probed the links between Wright and Suzy – who worked together aboard the QE2 in the 1980s – but ruled him out in 2012.
But Conrad, 81, revealed his own doubts for the first time, saying: “Amongst his photographs when he came here, was him, Steve, and Suzy Lamplugh.”
Suzy went missing aged 25 in South West London, and she was declared officially dead in 1994 – though her remains were never found.
The link with Suzy was first disclosed by Diane Cole, Wright’s first wife, who checked her diaries and found he was on shore leave when the estate agent vanished after showing a “Mr Kipper” around a house in Fulham,. Conrad adds: “There are so many questions to my mind... when you’ve got hours and days on end really, you tend to think, ‘What if? What could be?’”
Conrad was speaking on Channel 5’s documentary My Son The Serial Killer, which explores the murders of prostitutes Gemma Adams, 25, Tania Nicol, 19, Anneli Alderton, 24, Paula Clennell, 24, and Annette Nicholls, 29.
Forgive
Experts on the show doubt Wright would have started killing in his 40s and believe he committed other murders.
His dad has also struggled with questions over the strangulation of two prostitutes when Wright ran the Ferry Boat Inn in Norwich in the 1980s.
Conrad, who has not seen his son since he was convicted in 2007, says he still cannot come to terms with his lad’s actions. “I can’t think about it,” he says. “One parent of the girls reckons he forgives him but there’s no way I can forgive him if he did it.”
