The Ripper was in the papers last week, with a heart complaint. This week he has cv19.
Wonder what's in store next week?
My guess is he changes his name to Petra Sutcliffe and wants to move to a female prison.
The media, politicians etc all start referring to the Yorkshire Ripper as 'her'

I hope he lasts a couple more months. He was arrested in January 1981 and It'd be a shame if he missed his fortieth anniversary in custody.

I wonder when Sutcliffe passes, will the police/cps say: "we were just about to charge him with this or that unsolved crime" I'm sure that happened when Robert Black died. I think Sutcliffe has probably killed more. There are still a lot of 1970s cold cases, that have a similar M.O to him. The Byford report listed cases that had his hallmark. But I would imagine that there are a few killers inside, Tobin etc that are responsible for some of these murders. Even more frightening, is the idea that some of these cold cases were carried out by men, who were never caught. A link - (found elsewhere on the BK website) that goes through the unsolved murders of that time period and possible Sutcliffe involvement www.execulink.com/~kbrannen/otherv.htmAlso an interesting theory, that there was a second ripper and how Sutcliffe was just a copycat. This chap has been claiming it for years. Is he a crank or an unheard truth teller? www.yorkshireripper.com/author/A bit of Ripper-related reading there for anyone interested |

Let's hope so. It'd be the one positive thing "covid" has done.
Wont get my hopes up just yet though. I seem to remember Ian Brady was reportedly
at death's door, all the time in the papers.
Had been reading that story for around twenty years, before he finally went!

Had been reading that story for around twenty years, before he finally went! Covid is slightly different. Apparently its a liquid death, like drowning. It comes on as quickly as a cold. If he is refusing treatment for that cold it will take hold rapidly. It will also effect his heart and other organs. If you are really keen to hear the outcome, sitting next to your computer pressing the refresh button on your favourite newss web site might not be as futile as it sounds. It will be breaking news. I would even suspect that news agencies, probably the Sun and Daily Mail at least, have dudes in dirty brown macs sat outside in cars drinking coffee and checking in regualrly to determine the health of their 'pal'. Maye the reporters are under lockdown? I never really seem to know what the status of going outside is or even where Sutcliffe is. |

I wonder how many people dont really know who Peter Sutcliffe is? I would not be surprised to 'be surprised' that many of these young people, millenials and Gen x or whatever they are called, have not heard of him. Its an assumption that old people think young people have access to the same common memories etc. Especially considering the number of people that are 'new to this country'.

I can remember being in the school playground and kids talking about last night's Crimewatch! I think that's why a lot of old cases may have stuck in my head. A while back i was watching random old tv from the 1980s on youtube. In the ITN news reports, a lot of the main stories were murder cases; missing women and children and killers being sentenced etc. These days the murder stories on the news are mainly "terror related" Stranger and domestic killings seem to be on local news channels and not the main stories anymore. I've not done any research into it, just seems that way to me. The media always liked to give names to infamous cases and murderers; the ripper, the moors murders, the black panther etc. Don't tend to do the sensationalist nicknames like they used to either. Maybe another reason they aren't remembered as such. |

www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/yorkshire-rippers-brother-says-monster-22996022Mirror has a big special. Whilst I dont favour sensationalism or anything, etc, I get this feaaling that a lot of people have the popcorn out and are waiting for that headline. Its strange, as it is not an interest of mine, whether Mr Sutcliffe dies, but I get a greater sense that theres an undercurrent thats as big as it gets. Maybe not as big as the US election or Brexit, but it will be interesting to see how big a splash this potential event might have. I mean, its not often you get pre-warned of such an event? I dont think? I am not sure we had any prewarnings with Brady and I was certainly not interested in that, especially considering he had been at deaths door for decades. So, the Mirror is certainly on the edge of its chair. In a sane world, it would be just a foot note in the deaths column of a page. 'In other news, a convicted murderer has just died', or even just oe of those Prison Ombudsmen reports that if you didn't look at no one would know aything about. So, lets see what sort of 'darling' Pete is in the eyes of our noble and ethical press. Not that I am critisiscing them overtly. Just painting it like it is.

Quote from the Mirror article by Sutcliffe's brother Carl:
"He (Peter) used to love kids and he would have been a good dad, but it was never to be"
Hmm. I beg to disagree.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8945247/Yorkshire-Ripper-dead-74.htmlI dont often get anything right, but at least I can say my prediction that he would not lst the week was correct. For once in my life I called it right. I am quite amazed really. Also, wow, the Dailymail article is looooong. Again, as predicted, I imagine that they had prepared that one earlier, probably started the moment they heard he had covid and went into overdrive the minute they heard he had refused treatment.
