Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe moans about missing TV doc on his crimes
Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe has moaned about being unable to watch a documentary on his crimes – because lags at his jail don’t have access to BBC 4BBC's The Yorkshire Ripper Files, which millions watched last week, probed the bungled police investigation into Sutcliffe’s brutal crime spree between 1975 and 1980
It also featured surviving victims of attacks, like Tracy Browne who was 14 when Sutcliffe attacked her from behind with a hammer in August 1975 – two months before he killed first victim Wilma McCann. “Most of it is rubbish and they have the same people on all the time, like Wilma McCann’s son and Tracy Browne. They are just publicity seekers.”
The killer – held at tough HMP Frankland, County Durham - eventually raised the alarm and was taken to the jail infirmary.
