The Yorkshire Ripper Files

[Fletch]

3 parter starts bbc4 tomorrow night, found the Ted Bundy one on Netflix fascinating so will give this a watch

 

[The Exile]

Aye, should be good.

Difficult to believe how he just kept on killing after being under so much police scrutiny. Interviewed nine times and it never crossed his mind that stopping might be a good idea.

Is this on netflix?

I reckon your boys are letting you down George.

 

[Johnap]

I lived in Headingley at the time and he attacked a Dr in our back street. I spent 3 hours in Leeds Millgarth being interviewed because I was from Seaham.

Wearside Jack - barsteward.

Very poor taste from the OP. I remember a class in our school rustled together a "murder kit" of hammers and screwdrivers as a present for ripper-lookalike Mr Ro******aw. He was overcome with emotion.

I see you are having no luck in catching me............

Didn't they catch him through a fiver or something like that ?

Female intuition obviously

They traced the place he worked through it , but it was just a suspicious bobby on the beat that caught him as he had fake plates on his car, they found him with some daft tights on to make it easier for him to lob his knob out

 

[Sandboy]

And was it him in the end?

aye, always seemed such a nice fella Pete

 

[thamesvalleyman]

He got pulled over for the false number plates (as other poster said), and then asked if he could take a piss in some bushes nearby. He hid his weapons, the copper went back and looked in that area and found hammers , screwdrivers etc and then Sutcliffe confessed.

Because he was a f***ing lunatic?
Didn't he use the plea "God told me to do it"

He has blamed wearside jack for the last three murders, while he didn’t exactly help things he can’t be blamed for them per se

Serial killers tend to have a more long term outlook than your average one off murderer. The idea is to never get caught so you can keep killing. They can go years between murders to avoid detection.
