Yorkshire Ripper serial killer Peter Sutcliffe dies of coronavirus in hospital – BBC News

Published

on



The serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, known as the Yorkshire Ripper, has died in hospital at the age of 74. He had coronavirus.

Sutcliffe murdered 13 women across Yorkshire and the North West of England between 1975 and 1980. He was also convicted of the attempted murder of seven other women.

West Yorkshire Police have again apologised for the way some senior officers spoke at the time about some of Sutcliffe’s victims, many of whom were sex workers. The force’s chief constable said that while some of the language and attitudes may have reflected wider society at the time they were wrong then, and wrong now.

Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Danny Savage and Lucy Manning.

    To add insult to injury tax payers have to keep serial killers afloat until they die instead of cooking their insides with the use of an electric chair. Look how long this guy lived and after robbing all those girls of their lives. Smh.

    His BBC report fails to ask why the police were so sure sutcliffe was not the ripper. They carry on the lie that it was because of the Geordie hoaxer. But sutcliffe's blood type didn't match the ripper's B blood. That's why they eliminated him so many times. He was a copycat killer responsible for four murders, Jean Jordan, Yvonne Pearson, Margo Walls and Jacqueline Hill and all the assaults. He confessed to everything in exchange for no trial and a private room in a secure mental hospital and the real yorkshire ripper was let off the hook.

    Just a retelling of the official police story based on the confessions of sutcliffe, a man who was eliminated at least nine times because his O blood type didn't match the ripper's B blood found in the semen on some of the victims. He was a copycat killer and the police framed him as the ripper. The media just repeat the story endlessly and have brainwashed the public with the lies.

    I lived there during that time and as a very young woman, found myself living under the imposed curfew and being part of the marches that were taking place in England at the time. I had a premonition before he was finally caught, and it turned out to be accurate in every detail.

    I find it hard to believe that when I visited England in 1977 I was very scared one night looking for my Grandma's house. I asked a young boy who was delivering newspapers if he would walk with me and he laughed…….."Oh, your'e a yank; nothing happens here"…….

    It hasn't changed much in the UK, women don't report rape because in court, everyone thinks it's fine to blame the woman. They're victimized all over again. The original inquiry for Sutcliffe was so botched. When the tape was received Oldfield had his nose nipped and was gunning after the hoaxer hell or high water and didn't look at anyone but a Geordie. Sickening

    To all the victims, it’s okay, he’s gone. He’s going to hell. I really wish he spend his hold life in prison. But he got the easy route. You may rest and peace. and I hope you have a happy time in heaven. He can’t hurt you no more.

    Why do people still insist that Wilma McCann was the first victim? Sutcliffe had been active for several years before 1975.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
