ImagebridgePeter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, has died

The serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper has died, Sky News understands.

Peter Sutcliffe, 74, was one of the UK's most notorious prisoners, having murdered at least 13 women across the north of England in the late 1970s.

His prison term had been increased to a whole life sentence in 2010 and he was being held at HMP Frankland in County Durham.

Sutcliffe was being treated at the University Hospital of North Durham, three miles from where he was an inmate at Frankland prison.

He was sent there after developing COVID-19, but is understood to have refused treatment.

The 74-year-old had returned to prison after being treated for a suspected heart attack there two weeks ago - but was forced to return after testing positive for coronavirus.

Sutcliffe grew up in West Yorkshire and after leaving school held a number of different low skilled jobs, including a job as a gravedigger.

He got married in 1974 but had also become obsessed with female sex workers. He had started attacking women in the late 1960s but the first known murder happened in 1975 when he killed 28-year-old Wilma McCann, a mother of four from Leeds.

Over the following five years he continued killing women across the north of England and as the story of his crimes grew, he became known as the Yorkshire Ripper.

It led the police to advise women in some areas not to go out alone at night.

Richard McCann, the son of Sutcliffe's first known victim Wilma McCann, told Sky News: "He ruined so many lives.

"He will go down as one of those figures from the twentieth century in the same league I suppose as someone like Hitler."

"It was never just a drunken fight, he went out there with tools and implements and he murdered people again and again and again and again

Another C19 death to add to the statistics!

Nothing to do with his dodgy heart following the heart attack he suffered two weeks ago.

Obviously.

Exactly. Didn't he also have diabetes?

So for nigh on 40 years the tax payer has been funding the lifestyle of a mass-murderer.

Good riddance to rotten rubbish - may he rot in hell!

COVID-19 comes in useful at times. Sutcliffe lived the life of celebrity and died a statistic.

If the death sentence is to be dismissed, then send the hardened criminals off to a remote island and let them fend for themselves.

Proof that evil is real.

The world is a better place without him.

Couldn't agree more BlueBag. If ever there is a reason to bring back the death penalty, it would be for people like this monster.

Yorkshire Ripper cost taxpayers £11m - but victim's families didn't get a penny

YORKSHIRE Ripper Peter Sutcliffe cost taxpayers at least £11million while he was locked up for 39 years but many of his victims' families did not receive a penny in compensation, the Daily Express can reveal.

...................

Peanuts by comparison with the review/investigation into the disappearance of little Madeleine McCann by The Metropolitan Police for a period of nine years - which stopped accounting once it hit £12m.

And that was only Operation Grange! Sutcliffe was accommodated by the tax payer for 40 years!
