Police rearrested a man on suspicion of the murder of a 17-year-old girl who went missing on her way home from a Suffolk nightclub in 1999. He has since been released under investigation. The naked body of Victoria Hall was found in a ditch on 24 September 1999, five days after she was last seen alive. Suffolk police reopened their investigation in 2019 after receiving fresh witness information, which they would not expand upon. A man, whose name has not been released by police, was arrested on 28 July 2021 on suspicion of Victoria’s murder then subsequently released under investigation. He had not previously been arrested as part of the inquiry. No details were given about his age or where he was arrested. Suffolk police said the same man was arrested again on Wednesday on suspicion of murder and taken into police custody for questioning. The force said he was again released under investigation pending further inquiries. Victoria, from Trimley St Mary, Felixstowe, left home on the evening of 18 September 1999 for a night out with a friend at the Bandbox nightclub in Felixstowe. The girls left the club at about 1am the following morning and parted ways at around 2.20am, metres from Victoria’s home. That was the last time she was seen alive. Her parents awoke in the morning to discover their daughter had not returned home and a missing person inquiry was launched. Her body was found five days later in Creeting St Peter, about 25 miles from where she was last seen. None of her clothing or possessions have been found. Detectives are continuing to request that anyone with information about Victoria’s death contacts the major investigation team.
