Meet Peter Sutcliffe – a man compared to Jack the Ripper for his cold-blooded killing style.
A monster, who claimed he was “cleaning up the streets” by bludgeoning over 10 young women with a hammer and then repeatedly stabbing them with a screwdriver.
To this day, the brutality of Yorkshire Ripper’s murders and assaults still haunt the general public, along with at least 19 fascinating visual pieces of memorabilia.
