The Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe has died at the age of 74.

The serial killer was serving a whole life term for murdering 13 women across Yorkshire and north-west England.

The former lorry driver, from Bradford, died in hospital where he is said to have refused treatment for Covid-19. He also had other health problems.

The murders, which spanned five years from 1975 to 1980, began with 28-year-old mother-of-four Wilma McCann, who was hit with a hammer and stabbed 15 times, in October 1975.

Sutcliffe was dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper because he mutilated his victims' bodies.
He is said to have believed he was on a "mission from God" to kill prostitutes, although not all of his victims were sex workers.

Does America have any "Rippers" or is that just a British thing?

The investigation was also misdirected by one of criminal history's cruellest hoaxes, when John Humble tricked police into believing the serial killer was a man dubbed Wearside Jack because of his gruff Sunderland accent.


quote:

Humble, who died in 2019, never fully explained why he taunted detectives with letters and an infamous tape recording, in which he anonymously claimed to be the serial killer.


quote:

When Humble was eventually prosecuted, Leeds Crown Court heard claims the delays caused by the hoax left Peter Sutcliffe free to murder three more women.

A Yorkshire area cop told me that when the investigation was underway, Scotland Yard offered to come up and help the country boys. The Yorkshire cops replied that Scotland Yard's help would be appreciated once they caught their own ripper in London.
