A former pub boss locked up for killing five women has been quizzed by detectives investigating an unsolved murder from 1999.

Steve Wright – known as the Suffolk Strangler – was arrested by officers on Wednesday and questioned in connection with the death of teenager Victoria Hall.

The 63-year-old is serving a life at Worcestershire's Long Lartin prison for the murders after he was convicted in 2008.

In the late 1980s, Wright ran the then White Horse pub in Chislehurst before moving back to his native East Anglia.

The business was later renamed the Penny Farthing and then The Lounge before becoming a Co-op store.

Police say the man they spoke to was later released without charge pending further inquiries.

The probe into Victoria's murder was re-opened last year.

She disappeared in the early hours of September 19, 1999, after a night out with a friend in Felixstowe.

Her naked body was found by a dog walker five days later in a ditch – 25 miles from where her friend said goodbye.

Wright – a former steward on the QE2 ocean liner – was living in the area at the time.

He was convicted of killing five sex workers in the Ipswich area between October 30 and December 10, 2006.

The former pub manager had admitted having sex with the women but denied murdering them.

It was recommended he should never be released.
