The Yorkshire Ripper – The Chilling True Story Of Peter Sutcliffe – Martin Fido
In the late 1970s, a series of women were brutally murdered in and around Leeds and Bradford. Someone seemed to be emulating ‘Jack The Ripper’, the infamous murderer of prostitutes in Londond’s East End almost a century earlier.
When the ‘Yorkshire Ripper’ extended his range of targets to women who were not prostitutes, public anxiety reached fever pitch. 300 officers, 12500 statements and hundreds of interviews with potential suspects – including five with Peter Sutcliffe himself – failed to capture the real murderer.
