Between 1975 and 1984 Sutcliffe was known as the 'Yorkshire Ripper', as he terrorised prostitutes around Northern England with his hammer and other instruments of torture.

A former mortuary worker, Sutcliffe apparently spoke with God frequently, so he said. god ordered him to go out and hunt prostitutes and Sutcliffe did as he was told. He also enjoyed the job and would cum in his pants as he hammered and stabbed his victims to death.

Police were frustrated with numerous false confessions they received during their search for him. On January 2, 1981, Sutcliffe was finally caught sitting in a car with a prostitute. While in custody he confessed everything. The ripper is also suspected of having killed and maimed several other women in France and Sweden during his travels abroad.

On the 22nd of May the jury delivered their verdict - they found him guilty of 13 murders and seven attempted murders. The judge sentenced him to life imprisonment, where he would serve at Parkhurst Prison. On March 10, 1997, Sutcliffe was stabbed in both eyes by a fellow inmate during a fight at the Broadmoor Hospital, to which he was sent after several attack in prison. In March, 1996, Sutcliffe was assaulted by a different patient. Then, a prisoner at the high-security hospital in Berkshire almost garrotted Sutcliffe with the flex from a pair of stereo headphones because he "resented being locked up with sex offenders".see also: * "I wonder who you think you are. you damn well...".
