Outside Ipswich Magistrates’ Court.

CHRIS EAKIN is live from outside the Magistrates’ Court, surrounded by a crowd of locals who have come to watch.

CHRIS EAKIN. This is now the moment that Steven Wright faces the charges – is formally charged with these five murders of the five women. All of this has happened quite suddenly. A very dramatic announcement last night, late last night that Steven Wright was charged with these five murders.

Song – ‘A Wicked Bloody World’

Sung by people from the CROWD waiting with CHRIS EAKIN.

WOMAN 1. I’ve been here since about half nine. I just saw ’im come along like with the police sirens an’ that an’ they were, ya know… None of the phototgraphers caught ’im, caught any photos of ’im or anythin’ but just waitin’ to get a glimpse really… I mean I just turned round I said to mi partner I said ‘Right I’m off down town.’ He said. ‘What this early?’ I said ‘Yeah.’ He said ‘Yeah’ he say ‘you wanna go an’ see what’s goin’ on.’ I said ‘Course I flaming do. Too right.’

WOMAN 2. I tell you if I get hold of ’im. Ho heh heh. I really… I’ve never seen anything like it. Well I only came into town an’ I. As I came down on the roundabout where the black building is I thought – I said to my brother I said ‘What’s goin’ on?’ I said ‘What’s happened?’ He said ‘Cos the bloke’ – He said ‘He’s in Court this morning isn’t he?’ An’ then when I came up here I thought ‘Oh my word. Am I gonna get parked?’ Ha ha. Cos they’ve taken all the spaces along here.
