After her husband told her that he was the Yorkshire Ripper who had killed 13 women, Sonia Sutcliffe reportedly asked him: "What on Earth did you do that for, Peter?"
Peter Sutcliffe was imprisoned for his crimes in 1981 and Sonia has reportedly tried to move on — though it did take her 13 years to divorce him. But as of late 2020, Sonia Sutcliffe has since remarried and the Yorkshire Ripper has died of coronavirus while behind bars. Shortly afterward, Sonia reportedly held a small funeral for him.
Peter Sutcliffe Brutalizes The Women Of Yorkshire
Sutcliffe’s killing spree began in 1975, one year after he married his wife — though his violent assaults on women began as early as 1969. He beat his first victim over the head with a rock-filled sock that year and then attacked three women with a knife and hammer in 1975.
He then moved on to actual murder, which earned him the name “Yorkshire Ripper” among the press.
Peter Sutcliffe’s motives have never been clarified, though some theorized that his brutal attacks stemmed from a bad personal experience with a sex worker. This, however, has never been confirmed
Sutcliffe almost always hit his victims with a hammer from behind before stabbing them to death. In 1975, Sutcliffe stabbed his first-known murder victim, Wilma McCann, 15 times in the neck and stomach. Her four children were sleeping soundly in the house merely 150 yards away.
In January 1976, he stabbed his second murder victim, Emily Jackson, nearly 50 times. He dragged her into a parking lot and killed her with a screwdriver. Sutcliffe then stomped on her so violently that he left a boot print on her body.
Sutcliffe’s violent and sexual attacks continued well into 1977 when the Yorkshire police finally began to suspect that they had a serial killer on their hands.
The Police Sniff Out The Yorkshire Ripper
More than 150 police officers contributed to the search for the Yorkshire killer, and still, Sutcliffe evaded them for years.
In 1977, the cops finally caught their first break when they found a five-pound banknote in the purse of one of his victims — Jean Jordan, a prostitute he mutilated and murdered. Police were able to trace the note back to the bank, which consequently narrowed their search down to around 8,000 people.
They interviewed 5,000 suspects, one of whom was Sutcliffe himself, but his alibi and the support of his wife Sonia Sutcliffe were credible enough for police to take him off their list. He subsequently attacked another prostitute two months later, named Marilyn Moore. Fortunately, she survived — and described her assailant to the police.
Sutcliffe was interviewed nine separate times in connection with the Yorkshire Ripper murders. Though witness descriptions and other circumstantial evidence did tie him to the killings, there was never enough evidence to arrest him.
Then, Sutcliffe was nabbed for drunk driving in April 1980. While awaiting trial, he managed to kill two more women and attack three others. That November, his acquaintance Trevor Birdsall reporter him to the police as a definite suspect.
On January 2, 1981, he was finally arrested. When two officers spotted Sutcliffe in his car with a 24-year-old prostitute, they ran his plates and found that they were fake. Once cops brought him down to the station for this offense, they noticed that his description matched that of the Yorkshire Ripper’s and began to dig deeper into his background.
The next day, the cops returned to the scene where they found Sutcliffe and discovered a knife, hammer, and rope that he had discarded while claiming he needed to slip away to pee. He hid a second knife in a police station toilet.
Cops strip-searched Sutcliffe and found that he was wearing a V-neck sweater under his pants, with the sleeves over his legs and the V leaving his genitals exposed for more expedient sexual assault. Police were convinced that this was their killer. After two days of interrogation, Peter Sutcliffe confessed.
