A MAN has appeared in court charged with kidnapping and murdering a teen girl – 24 years after she was found dead in a ditch.

Victoria Hall, 17, was last seen on September 19, 1999, after a night out with pals at a club in Felixstowe, Suffolk.

Her her body was discovered five days later in a water-filled ditch 25 miles away near Stowmarket.

Steve Wright appeared at Ipswich Crown Court today charged with kidnap and murder.

The 66-year-old spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address.

No pleas were entered but a provisional trial date was set for January 13.

Wright, who appeared via video-link, is also accused of the attempted kidnap of a 22-year-old woman the night before Victoria;s disappearance.

The alleged victim reported that a man approached and followed her between 3am and 4am in Felixstowe.

Wright was remanded into custody to next appear at the same court on September 24.

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.

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.

Suffolk Police reopened its investigation in 2019 after receiving fresh witness information, which it would not expand upon.

NETFLIX fans have been left fuming after the streamer has cancelled yet another popular series with no explanation. 

Dead Boy Detectives premiered in April but has now been axed by the streamer despite rave reviews from viewers.

However the show has been very positively received by critics and viewers[/caption]

Netflix has already angered fans by axing popular shows like Vikings: Valhalla, Lockwood & Co, Fate: The Winx Saga, Julie and the Phantoms and many others. 

Dead Boy Detectives is the latest series to be added to this list, having lasted just one season.

The show follows dead friends Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) and Edwin Paine (George Rexstrew) who decide they’d rather solve supernatural crimes back on Earth than go to the afterlife, all with the help of their psychic medium friend Crystal Palace (Kassius Nelson).

It boasts an impressive supportive cast, too, with Supernatural alum Ruth Connell, Expats’ Yuyu Kitamura, The Summer I Turned Pretty actor David Iacono, You star Lukas Gage, Claws alum Jenn Lyon and The Flight Attendant’s Briana Cuoco all appearing in the series.

Dead Boy Detectives was an instant hit with viewers and the show boasts a 92% critical approval rating on the review aggregator platform Rotten Tomatoes. 

Despite this, Netflix decided to cancel the series, leaving viewers fuming as they believed it deserved to continue. 

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, to discuss Netflix’s decision, one angry viewer said they are “mad at them for cancelling another good series that deserves more seasons.”

“So apparently Dead Boy Detectives have been cancelled. Need to stop watching Netflix series; they just cancel shows anyhow,” fumed another. 

A third voiced their frustrations, adding: “I want to get into new tv shows but Netflix y’all are making it hard to do. I watch the first season and get hooked into it, only to find out later that the series is cancelled. I was invested in The Brothers Sun and Dead Boy Detectives.”

While a fourth pointed out that Netflix’s decision to cancel popular shows makes very little sense to viewers. “A shame to see Dead Boy Detectives go the same way as Lockwood. Maybe they didn’t get the tone quite right, but these decisions by Netflix seem increasingly unfathomable,” they wrote. 

For many Dead Boy Detectives fans, this cancellation is the final straw as they feel they’ve been repeatedly led down by the streamer axing shows after only one season. 

As a result, many are threatening to cancel their subscriptions if Netflix doesn’t renew the show for a second series. 

“Netflix, count your f***ing days after cancelling Dead Boy Detectives. The fandom won’t let this pass,” one subscriber threatened. 

While another pointed out: “Dead Boy Detectives got cancelled just over a DAY ago and already I think the ratios speak for how rightfully frustrated people are at Netflix for once again proving they cannot be trusted.”

“Renew Dead Boy Detectives you f***ing weenies before we all cancel our memberships,” added a third.

However, it seems unlikely that Netflix will bring back the series based on audience opinions alone, as the streamer doesn’t have a history of renewing shows it axed or listening to fan petitions. 

For now at least, one season is all Dead Boy Detectives fans are going to get.
