Good.
That's a nice photo of Yorkshire Ripper serial killer Peter Sutcliffe
what to say?
For a moment I thought this thread was about Jack the Ripper and I was really confused: of course he's dead... surely that's not a surprise at this point?
Covid.. the killer of killers.
2020 is starting to pay back a little. Positive vaccine updates and now this.
Good news comes in 3s too right

Damn Covid.
Maybe covids not so bad after all.
Typical Sky news and their lack of research, claiming he was obsessed with sex workers. That stupid assumption by the police which the press ran with led to him evading capture, and more women dying, as they ignored evidence from women who had survived attacks by him because they weren't sex workers.

Exactly my thoughts as well.
Had the pleasure of meeting Peter Sutcliffe at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny
ffsI was working in Bradford when all his crimes were being committed. My colleague's friend lived next door to him. She'd been talking to him about the terrible murders and he'd been saying "Yes, it's awful isn't it?"
Every woman was frightened to go out at night.

Blimey, I can’t imagine how she felt when she found out.
Wow. That must have been terrifying.
Damn. That's definitely something that would affect you for life.
I know, the psychopath next door .... Ted Bundy was very charming, too.
She was probably safest of all. Highly unlikely that he'd kill his neighbour and bring the police into his house.
No word to describe Ted Bundy. He still continues to be a popular subject. If you shoot a Netflix serial about Ted Bundy, even if it's bad, it sells. Unbelievable.
Bet he had some killer anecdotes to share.
I wasn't born when he commited the crimes but my late Dad was a huge practical joker and brilliant impressionist.
When the tapes were released and the person had a North East accent, when he and my mum were listening to reports on the radio my Dad turned to my mum and apparently in a bang on impression of the tapes said, "they'll never catch me." My mum said she absolutely shit herself. It made me smile when she told us about at his wake because I can picture his face trying to not laugh as he did it.

Very good!Jesus, so many replies to that tweet talking about covid deaths being exaggerated etc.
People are so dumb.
People are so dumb.
How did they catch him
Of course it is, he's white.
Not his biggest fan, far from it, but wish the lad a speedy recovery
Was weird watching the announcement on BBC this morning, they looked almost sad and regretful like it was somebody important had died.
I guess they have to remain impartial but it was a weird tone, I though they'd be fecking partying

He was bezzies with Jimmy Saville too and apparently helped in some murders, lovely pair.
Harold Shipman fan here but that's class.
Police noticed his car had false number plates, then discovered the tools he’d used to kill with, hammer, chisel etc
Modern obsession with being "Impartial" about things really annoys me.
There are several videos on YouTube about the case. The BBC did a good 3 part documentary about it, but it's currently not available on iPlayer.
My ex-girlfriend's mother had dealings with him at a prison in Cambridgeshire. Said he was a textbook narcissist.
I think it's just the BBC thing they have to do to be seen as not taking sides and don't get in trouble, but it did seem odd.
I felt like they'd just announced somebody famous and loved had died
The tapes were the work of John Humble ("Wearside Jack"), who for some unknown reason thought it would be a laugh to send the police on a wild goose chase. They started looking for someone from the north-east, and Sutcliffe killed more women while they were sidetracked.
thick as thieves
I've looked into it since, but whenever I hear of Peter Sutcliffe my mind immediately goes to that story.
Wonder who is going to play him in the musical now.
I remember my driving instructor almost proudly telling me he was taken into questioning at the time, it was weird.
I think i did a three point turn for the first time on his old street. Come to think of it I'm not sure my driving instructor wasn't a serial killer.

I'm not sure thats right as i remember the night. He had a lady in the car with him in a car park, the police asked him to step out and he said he needed a piss, the police agreed and he went round the corner to get rid of his tools, he dropped one and they went to investigate and found all they needed.
