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

Lives “will be lost” unless the UK does more to prepare for wildfires, experts warn, after a record-breaking summer saw 1,350 wildfires in England and Wales alone.
“Tinderbox” conditions created by a long, hot, dry summer brought the worst wildfire season on record in 2026.
Dozens of homes were destroyed or damaged, huge areas of land burned, and one man died.
The UK government banned disposable barbecues, sent a wildfire alert to people’s mobile phones and made £97m available, and a wildfire summit is planned – but are we still behind the curve?
In this episode of Behind the Investigation, Melanie Stewart-Smith speaks to Adrian Goldberg from File on 4 Investigates about what he found on the ground.

Is the way we date changing?
Studies suggest the time spent on dating apps has dropped in recent years. BBC News crashed an ‘in person’ speed-dating event to ask attendees about their dating habits, and if they’re too skint to date.

Peter Gore Seer,
I Dont Believe Sutcliffe Died Of Vovid, He Could Have Had The Vicine Which As Killled Thousands, He Cliamed God Told Him, And Govements Have Used Hypnoses, To Kill, So Was Sutcliffe Re Hypnotised, To Find Out The Truth, I Believe Not. The Vacine Slowed My Ex Wifes Heart Rate Emergancy Treatment Was Needed.

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

Richard McCann milks his mother’s death to the extent his own family despise him.. Mo Lea who wasn’t attacked by Sutcliffe(her description said “he was a young man.Sutcliffe was 34 at the time and she spoke to her attacker but not a single mention that he had a beard in her description)

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.
