Date of Birth: 2 June 1946 Marital Status: Married
AKA:

Yorkshire Ripper

Occupation: Lorry Driver

Between 1975 and 1984 Sutcliffe was known as the "Yorkshire Ripper" as he terrorized prostitutes around Northern England with his hammer and other instruments of torture.

A former mortuary worker, Sutcliffe apparently spoke with God frequently. The good Lord ordered him to go out and hunt prostitutes and, as a true Christian, he did as he was told. Luckily, he also enjoyed the job and would orgasm as he hammered and stabbed his victims to death.

Police were frustrated with numerous false confessions they received during their search for him.

2nd January 1981, Sutcliffe was finally caught sitting in a car with a prostitute. While in custody he confessed everything. The ripper is also suspected of having killed and maimed several other women in France and Sweden during his travels abroad.

March 1996, Sutcliffe was assaulted by Paul Wilson. Then, a prisoner at the high-security Broadmoor hospital in Berkshire, a robber with a nasty streak.  He almost garrotted Sutcliffe with the flex from a pair of stereo headphones because he "resented being locked up with sex offenders". The attacker was pulled off by two other murderers, Kenneth Erskine, the "Stockwell Strangler," and Jamie Devitt.

10th March 1997 Sutcliffe was stabbed in both eyes by a fellow inmate during a fight at the Broadmoor Hospital. It is believed that Sutcliffe was in his room in Henley Ward when he was attacked. The attacker, Ian Kay -- also known as the "Woolworths Killer" -- stabbed The Ripper with a fibre-tipped pen, the type used in drawing classes at the hospital. Sutcliffe was blinded in his left eye as a consequence.

28th January 1998, Kay admitted to stabbing Sutcliffe, adding attempted murder to his long list of convictions.

22  December 2007 Sutcliffe was attacked again, a fellow inmate named Patrick Sureda lunged at him with a metal cutlery knife while shouting "You fucking raping, murdering bastard, I'll blind your fucking other one." Sutcliffe flung himself backwards and the blade missed his right eye by half a inch, instead stabbing him in the cheek.
