peter sutcliffe
On Friday, 2 January 1981 the Yorkshire Rippers five-year reign of terror came to an end. In the previous five years, beginning in July 1975 with his first attack, he had killed thirteen women and left seven others for dead. As Britain celebrated that it was over, the Yorkshire Rippers family sat stunned that the peter William Sutcliffe they knew could possibly be responsible for the horrible crimes of the Yorkshire ripper.

Peter William Sutcliffe born on june 2nd 1946 always was different, unlike his 6 siblings he enjoyed staying inside with his mother instead of playing rough games. He never showed any interest in making friends or school and never any interest in girls. To everyone else this seemed very odd.

When he was 20 peter finally approached a girl for the first time, Her name was Sonia Szurma. They eventually married 8 years later. Everybody seemed to believe he was the perfect family man with not a single mean streak. He was described by others as hard working and quiet, a caring and loving husband who kept to himself with no outward signs of the violence. Boy were they all wrong.

On the night of the 4th of July 1975 the Yorkshire ripper made his first attack. Anna Rogulskyj was a 36 year old prostitute and her and her boyfriend had had a fight so she decided to go out, when she returned he was nowhere to be found, her anger from earlier rose again so she walked across town to his house to sort things out but when she arrived nobody answered the door. Little did anna know but peter Sutcliffe had followed her home from the bar she was at with her friends.

He appeared from behind her and with a ball-pin hammer, hit her three times on the head. Once she was on the ground, he lifted her blouse and slashed her across her abdomen. He was about to stab her in the stomach, when a man living in Lord Street, disturbed by the noise, called out and asked what was happening, causing Sutcliffe to flee, leaving his victim alive.

Annas life like many

    It is possible that the Ripper may have claimed more than five victims, but most experts agree that at least five of the East End murders were the work of Jack the Ripper. Although eleven women were murdered around the time of the Ripper’s reign, there were five victims that stood apart from the rest. The Canonical Five, as they are known, are believed to have all been murdered by the same person. All five victims, prostitutes of the East End, shared distinct and similar wounds, as well as postmortem organ removal and mutilations in some cases. Other victims in the Whitechapel Murders investigation had been brutally murdered as well, but none were carried out with the same. The first victim was Mary Ann Nichols. The body of Mary Ann “Polly” Nichols was discovered in the morning hours of August 31, 1888, at about 3:40am. Her body was found in front of a gated stable entrance in Buck’s Row, Whitechapel. Her throat had been deeply severed in two locations and her lower abdomen partially ripped open by a deep, jagged wound. The killer had also made several other incisions in her abdomen with the same…

    The first suspected man to be Jack the Ripper was Montague John Druitt who was a Barrister and a school master. He was first suspected to be Jack the Ripper on the 31st of December 1888, the day he committed suicide. Many of the writers attempted to make a case against Montague John Druitt but were never able to write it convincingly. The reason people suspected Druitt as Jack the Ripper was because of the fact that he was mentally unhealthy. He committed suicide not long after the murder of Mary Jane Kelly which made it more suspicious. Evidence which supports Montague John Druitt’s being Jack the Ripper does not exist.
