I don't think anyone will be mourning this loss. Good riddance.It will save us all a few bob, keeping this worthless piece of alive. In my book, COVID has done the work the hangman should have done when he was convicted and was without a doubt the person responsible for the murders and the terror caused in the community. Oh, and I'm sorry if that upsets one or two of forgive and forget brigade, but they are my opinions. Good riddance to the creature. https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co...re-ripper-serial-killer-peter-sutcliffe-died/
You’ll be surprised in this world Wiz, Hitler is still idolised by tens of thousands for killing millions.I don't think anyone will be mourning this loss. Good riddance.
I was living in Ilkley at the time he was rampaging around the area, women in general were worried and were being very cautious. There was a young woman murdered in Ilkley at the time, and although it was never proven to be him, I would lay my last penny on the fact that it was.If you were alive during his reign of terror you remember every one of those poor girls names. And I was under 10 for most of it.
The fake ‘I’m Jack‘ tapes with the ‘coming to the bright lights’ reference made Blackpool folk terrified for a while.
What a piece of sh*t he was.
If you mean Yvonne Mysliwiec, she was attacked but, thankfully, not murderedI was living in Ilkley at the time he was rampaging around the area, women in general were worried and were being very cautious.

I had a mate at Uni who's family lived diagonally opposite the ripper. Said he just appeared to be a quiet guy who could be a bit moody sometimes e.g. would shout at my mate and his friends playing slam against his garage doors. His mum knew Sonia well - and believed that she genuinely had no idea of her husband's crimes. Went to stay at his place for a stag weekend in Bradford in the mid 80s. Apparently, they regularly had coach parties knocking on the door asking to confirm which was the Ripper's homeInteresting article in the Mirror this week about his brother.
His Bro wouldn't speak to him or even visit for years.
He said that everywhere he went he could see people whispering about him being the Yorkshire Rippers brother.
It has affected his life negatively.
Seems like a normal guy, but what a burden to bear.
For the umpteenth time, you cant impose capital death on some convictions and not others, its like admitting some are more secure than others and if you have it across the board some innocent people will inevitably die.Whilst I don't agree with capital punishment, it's tempting in cases like this. I don't think any sane people will mourn his death.
I don’t agree with capital punishment. Whilst I said it it’s tempting I was merely meaning good riddance. As I know you can’t differentiate between different cases or bring the dead back after a mistake comes to light at a later date.For the umpteenth time, you cant impose capital death on some convictions and not others, its like admitting some are more secure than others and if you have it across the board some innocent people will inevitably die.
I think you're getting mixed up with "Jack" the Ripper - in 19th century Londonsmack someone over the head with a hammer cut out their insides no one came back after that particular mistake did they ?
Yes...so glad they eventually caught the culprit and he received a lengthy custodial sentence. I remember the tapes being played constantly on the news and can't understand why nobody recognised the fake hoaxer's voice.I recall the fake Geordie tapes, shocking stuff
I totally get your points to be honest.The thing of concern to me was that Sutcliffe was deemed to be a paranoid schizophrenic in 1984 and there was a case for him being mentally ill whilst carrying out these crimes, because for generations society has churned these nutjobs out and they seem to keep coming.
The attitudes prevalent towards women at the time was appalling where he was cited as some sort of anti hero for cleaning up the streets, and the police apology seems to be too little far to late.
That's not a plea for sympathy for anyone but maybe a call for us to look at how we run our lives, and where its too easy to create a monster given the pressures and influences put upon people.
I think there's a difference between someone who is criminally mentally ill, and someone like a terrorist who makes a choice to blow up kids at a concert; probably the wrong place for this but at least there seems to be some drive to address mental health issues nowadays, rather than them fester and develop into something far more sinister.
Completely agree.What was the point of keeping this piece of filth alive like many others of his ilk the victims relatives should be offered the opportunity to have a word then what remains if anything should be incinerated might put a few prison guards , psychologists , general do gooders and latter day Lord Longfords out of a job but so what
Completely agree.
Why keep this scum alive and well looked after?
There are certain crimes which deserve a 'Death Penalty'.
This was one of them.
How much money has it cost over the many years that he has been incarcerated?
Money that could have been put to a far better use.
Robbie, I get your point, and I know innocent people have suffered before. Just blowing a fuse at the whole situation.We keep them alive because - for better or worse - we don't execute people in the name of the State. It is supposed to be one of the hallmarks of a civilised society.
And to be honest, looking at the performance of the police force that was in charge of this fiasco - are you certain that they would get the right man, every time? But for a lucky accident this case may have ended with them locking up some bloke from Wearside because he made a hoax tape.

Take care.
