Pick-up spot
CCTV footage showed Nicol getting into a dark blue car at the corner of Handford and Burlington Road on the night of October 30, 2006. The 19-year-old often stood at this location. At the time of the killings, Wright drove a dark blue Ford Mondeo. Wright admitted that he picked up Nicol on the night in question. He claimed that the pair drove around the corner to Portman Road, but that he quickly changed his mind.
Portman Road
Wright said that he brought Nicol to Portman Road but that he changed his mind about using her services. The police said that the victim's phone went dead shortly before midnight on October 30, which was around the same time that a security camera captured him picking her up in his Ford Mondeo (bottom-right). Portman Road is a football stadium. It is the home ground of Ipswich Town F.C. At the time, the streets around the stadium were part of Ipswich's red-light district.
