UK serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper dies after 'refusing coronavirus treatment.

The British serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper, a man who instilled terror and fear across northern England in the 1970s, died Friday at a hospital there. He was 74.

Peter Sutcliffe, a former grave digger, was serving concurrent life sentences for killing 13 women in Yorkshire and northwest England between 1975 and 1980.


Sutcliffe's barbaric attacks on young women were compounded by the police incompetence that allowed him to evade arrest and continue killing. The manhunt for the Ripper was one of the biggest the country had ever known, with some 2.5 million hours spent trying to catch him. Documentaries have chronicled how stubborn UK investigators stuck to their theories, missing key leads, ignoring contradictory evidence and wasting time in the hunt for the killer.
