‘Got the Bastard!’ Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe is dead

Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe is dead.
I remember the fear and paranoia. Relatives in Leeds getting the photofits – so many of them – and looking at men. Was it that man? That dad? The men who said it was them, who wanted to be the killer? The day the news broke that a copper had spotted something odd in a parked car and got him – my mum shouting across the road to a friend ‘Got the Bastard!’ as she met me at school. It was the story that haunted thoughts and prayers.
Dead now. The victims never forgotten.
