Yorkshire Ripper Dead After Hours

[Soffie]

Peter Sutcliffe, one of the most evil blights on our recent history is dead.

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.

He died in hospital where he is said to have refused treatment for Covid-19. Sutcliffe also had a number of other underlying health problems.

The son of his first victim, who was five when his mother was killed, said Sutcliffe's death would bring "some kind of closure".

Sutcliffe was convicted in 1981 and spent three decades at Broadmoor Hospital before being moved to HMP Frankland in County Durham in 2016.

His first victim was mother-of-four Wilma McCann, 28, who was hit with a hammer and stabbed 15 times, in October 1975.

Former police officer Bob Bridgestock, who worked on the hunt for Sutcliffe, said he "won't be shedding any tears".

I would never normally wish this on anyone but I hope it was long, slow and painful.

Glad he's dead. True evil.

This should be about the victims, not that the evil that died this morning

Good riddance. Scum.

Beasts like him deserve the death penalty

 

[Sad Professor]

His victims should be in everyone's thoughts, not him.

He should have been executed when found guilty.

A sad chapter ends in history. However, to all those that suffered due to his hands, their suffering continues.
