GUILTY UK - Victoria 'Vicky' Hall, 17, Trimley St Mary, Suffolk, 18 Sep 1999 *arrest 2023* *trial 2026*

[Sarahlou]

I can't think of many more prolific living UK killers than SW.

Bruce Lee, Rose West, Kenneth Erskine.. anyone else with more than 6 victims?

I'm surprised SW didn't get a second whole life tariff, like Levi Bellfield got when he was convicted of murdering Millie Dowler.

Lucy Letby.

Sickening

The fact he swapped a FORD Granada Scorpio for a FORD Mondeo reminds me of the case of Melanie Hall, who was abducted from a nightclub in Bath in 1996.
She was later found naked and dumped (tied up in bin bags) in dense foliage off a slip road leading onto the M5 motorway.

Like Victoria, Melanie also wore a silk dress and jacket at the time of her abduction, and both girls had just left nightclubs.

There were also a full set of FORD car or van key left close to Melanie's body.


The irony of those coincidences are not lost here.

 

[Dotta]

He looks much older than the e-fit in Melanie's case.
Balding, overweight with pot belly.
Hair much lighter in colour.

There is a 3-year gap - 1996 vs 1999.

But who knows?

This smirk makes me sick.
He was smirking the same way even in a mugshot.

Was he psychiatrically examined?

There are some coincidences and MO similarities between the murders of Vicky Hall and Melanie Hall, but there's no evidence SW was involved in Melanie's murder.

If somehow he was, then it would be a street abduction. Based on SW's appearance in 1999, I think we can safely say he wasn't the young, dark haired man with a fringe, possibly seen dancing with Melanie three years earlier.

I'm not sure, but he tried to commit suicide a couple of times, so he may have been known to mental health professionals etc.
