A MAN has been charged with murdering Victoria Hall – 24 years after the teen was discovered dead in a ditch.

Victoria Hall was found dead in a ditch
Tragically, Victoria never returned home with her body discovered five days later in a water-filled ditch 25 miles away near Stowmarket.
Suffolk Police have today charged Steve Wright with kidnap and murder.
The 66-year-old has also been charged with one count of attempted kidnap in connection with a separate incident involving a 22-year-old woman.
Police said this took place the night before Victoria’s disappearance.
The alleged victim reported that a man approached and followed her in Felixstowe.
Wright has been remanded in custody and is due to appear before Ipswich Magistrates’ Court on June 3.
Victoria was walking home from the Bandbox nightclub with best friend Gemma Algar in the early hours of the morning when she vanished.
The pair had stopped at a takeaway before saying goodbye at 2.30am just 300 yards from Victoria’s home.
Gemma later heard screams but believed someone was messing around.
Her parents woke up the next morning and realised Victoria had not come home – and alerted the police.
Tragically Victoria’s body was discovered on September 24.
