Serial killer Steve Wright is sentenced to 40 years in prison for the murder of 17-year-old Victoria Hall in 1999
Wright is also sentenced to 12 years for the kidnapping of Victoria and nine years for the attempted kidnapping of Emily Doherty - all of the sentences will run concurrently
"Perhaps the only thing that can be said in your favour is that you pleaded guilty," Mr Justice Bennathan says as he delivers the sentence - he adds that Wright will "die in prison"
Wright is already serving a whole-life sentence for the murders of five women near Ipswich in 2006
Victoria's friend Gemma told the court in a victim impact statement that her friend's murder "turned her life upside down", while her brother Steven says he will miss Victoria "every day" for the rest of his life
Gemma heard two screams shortly after they parted ways after a night out, the Old Bailey heard earlier
Meanwhile, Emily Doherty, who escaped an attempted kidnapping by Wright, says she was made to feel like a "silly little girl" by police when she reported the incident

Mr Justice Bennathan says Wright's delay in pleading guilty until what was meant to be the first day of his trial meant Victoria Hall's mother never saw justice for her daughter.
She died in December, the court was told earlier.
"No life sentence passed on you can take away the family's loss and grief," Mr Justice Bennathan goes on to tell Wright about Victoria Hall's killing.
He tells Wright that Emily Doherty had blamed herself for what happened.
Wright has now put his glasses back on as he listens to the judge.
The judge tells Wright: "Perhaps the only thing that can be said in your favour is that you pleaded guilty."
Mr Justice Bennathan begins his sentencing remarks and says “for reasons only you [Wright] know and most people will never comprehend you snatched her [Victoria Hall] away".
He says Victoria had been a "typical, bright lively teenager".
He goes on to say that Emily Doherty had been "too alert" for Wright to kidnap her the night before.
"I'm sure if you had managed to abduct her, you would have killed her," he tells Wright.
Mr Justice Bennathan has entered the courtroom and the sentencing will begin.
Steve Wright is in the dock wearing a grey jumper and looking expressionless.

Ahead of the judge's sentencing remarks, due to start at 14:00 GMT, a reminder of what we heard this morning.
More details were given about what happened to 22-year-old Emily Doherty on the night Wright tried to abduct her as well as what happened to 17-year-old Victoria Hall, who was kidnapped and murdered.
The prosecution told the court that Wright had been "on the prowl" on the weekend of the 18 and 19 September 1999.
Doherty said in her victim impact statement she had been left terrified when Wright attempted to snatch her on 18 September.
She said police didn't take her report seriously and she was made to feel "like a silly little girl".
Wright then went on to target Victoria the following night.
Her friend Gemma Algar reported hearing two screams when they parted ways after a night out and Victoria's body was found five days later.
Her family went on to say in statements they had been left heartbroken and given a "life sentence" themselves by her killing.

Image source, Simon DinsdaleIt is the question on everyone’s mind this week - why did Steve Wright finally admit to murdering and kidnapping Victoria Hall?
It is the first time the serial killer has publicly admitted a killing.
Simon Dinsdale, a retired Essex Police detective inspector who worked on part of the 2006 investigation into the Ipswich murders, says he was left "astonished" by the plea change.
"Wright is quite clearly a dangerous serial killer," he explains.
"Serial killers have a very definite psyche to do with power, which is why they don’t talk... in my experience, they never, ever admit it, say where the bodies are, etc.
"It’s all to do with power, so for Wright to bowl into the Old Bailey [and change his plea], the fact that he has done that I find astonishing."
Could Steve Wright be behind more murders?
A criminologist thinks Steve Wright's admission he murdered Victoria Hall could be an opportunity to look again at other cold cases.
Prof David Wilson believes police should investigate potential links between the serial killer and two other women.
Kellie Pratt was last seen in Norwich in 2000 and Amanda Duncan in Ipswich in 1993.
Norfolk and Suffolk Police have been contacted for comment.

This week I spoke with a woman who was stalked by serial killer Steve Wright just days before he went on to attempt to kidnap Emily Doherty and murder Victoria Hall.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, was 18 at the time and had gone on a night out with friends in Felixstowe the night before Emily's incident.
She says they were followed by Wright in a similar area to Doherty and were able to see his face before they fled.
You can read her full story here.
Ahead of today's sentencing, the father of a woman murdered by Steve Wright said he hoped the serial killer would "fully acknowledge all the other things" he had done.
Tania Nicol, 19, was the youngest of Wright's victims in 2006 - seven years after he killed Victoria Hall.
Her father Jim Duell said feeling angry was "a waste of time" because "what's done is done".

The defence has finished outlining their mitigation and Mr Justice Bennathan rises, telling the court we will break for lunch.
The hearing will resume at 14:00 BST.
We will have a live video stream of the judge's sentencing remarks on this page.
Kieran Vaughan, defending Steve Wright, is now outlining his mitigation to the court.
He says the prosecution would like to see a whole-life order sentence given to Wright, but Vaughan says he would prefer a minimum term being handed down.
Wright is already serving a whole-life order for the 2006 murders.

Mr Justice Bennathan, while talking with the prosecution about the 2006 murders of five women in and around Ipswich, says he wants to make it clear that Emily Doherty bears no blame for those murders.
"The one person who is absolutely not to blame whatsoever is Emily Doherty," he tells the court.
Doherty said in her victim impact statement she had felt "guilty" and had "survivor's guilt" over the years.

Prosecutor Jocelyn Ledward is now discussing with the judge about Steve Wright's past murder convictions and whether they should be considered aggravating features.
Mr Justice Bennathan tells her he believes they are an aggravating feature, but he says he's not "re-sentencing" Wright for those crimes.
Ledward tells the judge in relation to Emily Doherty, Wright's actions were premeditated, with "persistent" attempts to get close to her despite her efforts to evade him.
Prosecutor Jocelyn Ledward is now outlining the aggravating features of the case to the judge.
She urges him to consider the fact it was the murder of a child as well as the mental and physical suffering caused.
Ledward is discussing more of the features with judge Mr Justice Bennathan.

After reading his own statement, Victoria Hall's brother Steven reads their father's statement to the court.

"I will miss Victoria every day and I will do for the rest of my life."

Steve Wright just looks at Gemma Algar and Steven Hall as they read their statements to the court.
He continues to show no emotion, even as they cry while detailing what his actions have done to them.
Victoria Hall's brother, Steven Hall, is now giving his statement to the court.
He says the family's "whole life" was turned upside down the night she was killed.
"Our family was forced into an exclusive club that nobody wants to be a part of," he says.
"Every aspect of our lives was damaged down to the way we think, look at things, everything including the way people look at our family.
"Victoria was only 17 years old. I have lost my sister, my mum and dad lost their daughter who brought so much joy with her dancing and everything she was."
He adds that he has had "a life sentence" himself after losing Victoria and his mother will never know the outcome of the case, as she died in December.
"I miss Victoria every day and will do for the rest of my life."
He adds: "Whatever the sentence, nothing will change what we had to deal with on a daily basis."
