Peter William Sutcliffe (born 2 June 1946) is an English serial killer who was dubbed "The Yorkshire Ripper" by the press. In 1981 Sutcliffe was convicted of murdering 13 women and attempting to murder seven others.
Sutcliffe had regularly used prostitutes in Leeds and Bradford. His outbreak of violence towards them seems to have occurred because he was swindled out of money by a prostitute and her pimp, but he claimed when interviewed by authorities that the voice of God had sent him on a mission to kill prostitutes.
He carried out his murder spree over a five-year period, during which the public were especially shocked by the murders of some women who were not prostitutes. After his arrest in January 1981 for driving with false number-plates, police questioned him about the killings and he confessed that he was the perpetrator.
At his trial, he pleaded not guilty to murder on grounds of diminished responsibility, owing to a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, but this defence was rejected by a majority of the jury. He is serving twenty concurrent sentences of life imprisonment, currently in Broadmoor High Security Hospital. After his conviction, Sutcliffe began using his mother's maiden name and became Peter William Coonan.
Peter David Sutcliffe (born 25 January 1957) is an English former footballer. A right-sided winger, he made 198 league appearances in a ten-year professional career in the Football League.
A former youth player with Manchester United, he joined Stockport County in 1975. He was signed to Port Vale for a £3,000 fee in March 1977, before being sold on to Chester City for a £15,000 fee in December 1978. After four years with the "Seals", he joined non-league Bangor City for the 1982–83 season. He returned to Chester and Stockport, before returning to non-league football with Scarborough in 1984.
He also took part in the last race event at Germany's Solitudering in July 1965, the XIII Grosser Preis der Solitude, where he drove the Formula 2 Brabham BT10 Cosworth of David Prophet Racing. However, he crashed in his onlymonoposto race.
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.

Most Evil Documentaries - Peter Sutcliffe The Yorkshire Ripper
We always have to keep in mind that a Documentary, after all, can tell lies and it can tell lies because it lays claim to a form of veracity which fiction doesn't. Some of the documentaries are made just to discredit some particular person, party, organization, system etc, but most of them here on TDF are non biased, without prejudice and worth watching.

British serial killer, Peter Sutcliffe, who is infamous as the 'Yorkshire Ripper' was born under fairly normal surroundings. His father John Sutcliffe was a mill owner. Peter was very attached to his mother Kathleen. He was a loner in school and his grades were generally poor. Peter quit school at 15. He loved to visit the local wax museum where he was fascinated by specimens that showed the effect of venereal disease on the body. He worked as a municipal gravedigger and mortuary assistant for a while. During this period he was known to steal things from the bodies he was burying. Some of his early tendencies towards necrophilia may have stemmed from here. He would later tell authorities that it was during this time that he started hearing the voice of God coming from a grave telling him to 'rid the world of harlots'. He attempted his first murder in 1969 with a home made weapon - a sock filled with bricks. On 2 occasions his victims escaped. On Oct 30, 1975 however he had perfected his m.o. He used a ball peen hammer to bludgeon his victim to death. Then he stabbed them with a chisel or screwdriver to mutilate their bodies. He killed mainly in the cities of Leeds, Bradford and in the Yorkshire area and 1 murder in the Lancashire city of Manchester.His victims were all women. Though the majority were prostitutes, he also began killing college students towards the end - the only common factor being they were lone women who were out late. The age range of his victims was 16 to 47. One of his victims was even killed in her own apartment. In one case Sutcliffe actually revisited the crime scene a week later to further mutilate the body before it was finally found by the police. Sutcliffe was a schizoid personality who was able to remain a devoted husband at home while still committing his brutal crimes outside. When Sutcliffe's mother died on November 8, 1978 there was an 11 month 'cooling-off' period. The largest manhunt in Britsh history was launched to catch the 'Ripper'. It involved interviewing 250,000 people and searching 20,000 houses. In June 1979 the police were sidetracked when they received a hoax tape and letters from someone claiming to be the ripper. Sutcliffe who was interviewed was dismissed as a suspect because he did not have the 'Wearside accent' of the hoax tape. The last 'Ripper' murder took place on 17 Nov 1980. There had been 13 victims with 7 attempted murders. On January 2, 1981 Sutcliffe was arrested by the police for displaying false number plates on his Rover car. (The number plates actually belonged to a Skoda.) Peter Sutcliffe had stolen the plates from a scrapyard in nearby Dewsbury. on his Rover P6 and propositioning a prostitute. He requested permission to 'pee' before going to the station. The next day, while he was being questioned at the station, the arresting policeman decided to go and check the bushes where Sutcliffe had urinated. He found a hammer and chisel behind some shrubbery. Sutcliffe quickly confessed to his crimes. he said he harbored a vendetta against prostitutes after one of them had swindled him of money and given him a venereal disease. On May 22, 1981 he was declared guilty of committing 13 murders and sentenced to spend not less than 30 yrs in prison.

Sutcliffe was a schizoid personality who was able to remain a devoted husband at home while still committing his brutal crimes outside. When Sutcliffe's mother died on November 8, 1978 there was an 11 month 'cooling-off' period. The largest manhunt in Britsh history was launched to catch the 'Ripper'. It involved interviewing 250,000 people and searching 20,000 houses. In June 1979 the police were sidetracked when they received a hoax tape and letters from someone claiming to be the ripper. Sutcliffe who was interviewed was dismissed as a suspect because he did not have the 'Wearside accent' of the hoax tape. The last 'Ripper' murder took place on 17 Nov 1980. There had been 13 victims with 7 attempted murders. On January 2, 1981 Sutcliffe was arrested by the police for displaying false number plates on his Rover car. (The number plates actually belonged to a Skoda.) Peter Sutcliffe had stolen the plates from a scrapyard in nearby Dewsbury. on his Rover P6 and propositioning a prostitute. He requested permission to 'pee' before going to the station. The next day, while he was being questioned at the station, the arresting policeman decided to go and check the bushes where Sutcliffe had urinated. He found a hammer and chisel behind some shrubbery. Sutcliffe quickly confessed to his crimes. he said he harbored a vendetta against prostitutes after one of them had swindled him of money and given him a venereal disease. On May 22, 1981 he was declared guilty of committing 13 murders and sentenced to spend not less than 30 yrs in prison.
We always have to keep in mind that a Documentary, after all, can tell lies and it can tell lies because it lays claim to a form of veracity which fiction doesn't. Some of the documentaries are made just to discredit some particular person, party, organization, system etc, but most of them here on TDF are non biased, without prejudice and worth watching.

Peter William Sutcliffe (born 2 June 1946) is an English serial killer who was dubbed "The Yorkshire Ripper" by the press. In 1981 Sutcliffe was convicted of murdering 13 women and attempting to murder seven others.
Sutcliffe had regularly used prostitutes in Leeds and Bradford. His outbreak of violence towards them seems to have occurred because he was swindled out of money by a prostitute and her pimp, but he claimed when interviewed by authorities that the voice of God had sent him on a mission to kill prostitutes.
He carried out his murder spree over a five-year period, during which the public were especially shocked by the murders of some women who were not prostitutes. After his arrest in January 1981 for driving with false number-plates, police questioned him about the killings and he confessed that he was the perpetrator.
At his trial, he pleaded not guilty to murder on grounds of diminished responsibility, owing to a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, but this defence was rejected by a majority of the jury. He is serving twenty concurrent sentences of life imprisonment, currently in Broadmoor High Security Hospital. After his conviction, Sutcliffe began using his mother's maiden name and became Peter William Coonan.
