About this deal

Sutcliffe hid a second knife in the toilet cistern at the police station when he was permitted to use the toilet. A list was compiled of around sixty murders and attempted murders not just in Yorkshire but around the country that West Yorkshire Police and other forces thought could possibly be linked to Sutcliffe. In December 2020, Netflix released a four-part documentary entitled The Ripper, which recounts the police investigation into the murders with interviews from living victims, family members of victims and police officers involved in the investigation.

Tim Tate, a journalist, and Chris Clark, a former police officer, have done a remarkably in-depth study of Peter Sutcliffe's other crimes(the ones that he was not charged with) and in this most readable of books it is difficult to fathom out why the police investigators at the time did not come up with all the facts that the two authors have now brought before the public.After Sutcliffe's trial, the West Yorkshire police announced that he would be questioned about the attack. Sutcliffe died in hospital from diabetes-related complications, while in prison custody in 2020, aged 74.

He attacked 36-year-old Anna Rogulskyj, who was walking alone, striking her unconscious with a hammer and slashing her stomach with a knife. Peter William Sutcliffe (2 June 1946 – 13 November 2020), also known as Peter Coonan, was an English serial killer who was convicted of murdering thirteen women and attempting to murder seven others between 1975 and 1980.In February 2022, Channel 5 released a 60-minute documentary entitled The Ripper Speaks: The Lost Tapes, which recounts interviews, and Sutcliffe speaking about life in prison and in Broadmoor Hospital, as well as crimes he had committed but that had not been seen or treated as "a Ripper killing". The fronts of the elbows were padded to protect his knees as, presumably, he knelt over his victims' corpses. After two days of intensive questioning, on the afternoon of 4 January 1981, Sutcliffe suddenly declared he was the Yorkshire Ripper.

In 1969, Sutcliffe, described in the Byford Report as an "otherwise unremarkable young man", came to the notice of police on two occasions over incidents with prostitutes. The jury rejected the evidence of four psychiatrists who gave testimony that Sutcliffe had paranoid schizophrenia, possibly influenced by the evidence of a prison officer who heard him say to his wife that if he convinced people he was mad, he might get ten years in a "loony bin". On 25 June 1977, 16-year-old Jayne Michelle MacDonald went to meet friends at the Hofbrauhaus, a German-style bierkeller in Leeds. Sutcliffe's brother, Michael, aged 16, was held for questioning but was eventually released and was ruled out as having any involvement in the crime.Even though his confession failed to include any details of the murder, and Ripper detective Jim Hobson testified at trial that he did not find the confession credible, Steel was narrowly convicted. She was beaten around the head seven times with the handle of a pickaxe, which had caused severe head injuries and fractures to her skull. How professional people fell for his convincing them that he was insane is beyond belief especially as his defence only came up with that theory much later in the trial. Sutcliffe hit Whitaker from behind with his ball-peen hammer and had hit her again as she lay on the ground.
