A Sky News special programme on the Ipswich Murders aired on Friday 22 February, 9.30pm, included exclusive interviews with the murderer’s half-brother, his best friend and a prostitute who slept with Wright days before he was arrested.

In Deadly Instinct: Inside the mind of a serial killer, one of the country’s leading criminologist Professor David Wilson, who has worked with some of Britain’s most notorious killers, examined what drove Wright to kill, what made him capable of killing over and over and what was it that turned him into Britain’s latest serial killer.
