Peter Sutcliffe was a quiet and shy child whose school grades were poor and he left school at the age of fifteen, drifting in and out of a number of jobs, including a three year stint as a gravedigger.

In 1975, Sutcliffe attacked working girl Anna Rogulskyj with a hammer, but she managed to escape with only minor wounds. A month later he attacked Olive Smelt, but she too escaped.

By 30th October 1975, Sutcliffe had committed his first murder. He hammered his victim to death and then repeatedly stabbed her dead body, a ritual he repeated on many of his victims.

On 2nd September 1979, Sutcliffe spotted 20-year-old Barbara Leach walking down quiet Ash Grove, Bradford. Barbara's body was found that afternoon in someone's backyard in a dustbin, with a piece of carpet covering the body. She had been stabbed eight times.

By November the following year he had murdered 13 women around the North of England, and had been dubbed 'The Yorkshire Ripper' in the national press. A lorry driver at the time, Sutcliffe was interviewed by the police on several occasions, before a routine check on a car registration led to his arrest in 1981.

He identified himself as the 'Ripper', was tried and found guilty of 13 murders and seven attempted murders, and given a life sentence on each account.

While in prison, Sutcliffe has been repeatedly attacked by other inmates. In 1996 he was strangled with the flex from a pair of stereo headphones and, in 1997, he was stabbed in both eyes with a pen. He lost one eye and must live out the remainder of his sentence with impaired vision in the other.

In January 2005, there was a national outcry when Sutcliffe was allowed to leave Broadmoor Hospital, to visit the site of the scattering of his father's ashes, who had died in 2004. Sutcliffe had not been allowed to attend his funeral at the time of his death.

It turns out that the Hoaxer, who had misdirected police, was actually a retired police officer who had a grudge against George Oldfield, his reasons for the false letters were to settle the score against Oldfield, whom he hated.
