Peter William Sutcliffe

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

He would have been a big help in these difficult times for getting women to stay indoors at night.

Tbh strictly and love island probably do that without the need for bludgeoning anyone to death.

I suppose the full name just helps people to tell it isn't about GDM's mate.

Just change it to “Murdering bearded bastard” and we’ll all be happy

The Guardian have actually done an obituary for him the absolute bell-ends....

And not a single RIP from us lot on here. Heartless bastards that we are!

Have I got news for you tonight ‘Dominic Cummins was the most hated man in the news last week - a week in which Peter Sutcliffe died’ HA

I hear the Nielsens and the Bambers were devastated to be written out of the script.

Jeffrey Dahmer had allegedly wanted to write the theme toon and sing the theme toon.

Convicted by a 10-2 majority verdict. 2 out of 12 thought he wasn't guilty. Fucking hell

I was at Leeds when they played the Geordie tape over the tannoy.

I was at Leeds when they played the Geordie tape over the tannoy.

That TV footage they played on the news of that was massively creepy.
In fact most TV footage from 70's Britain looks and sounds massively creepy.

Not sure that's correct mate* (Jeremy Bamber was definitely 10-2) but even so they won’t have thought he wasn’t guilty, most likely. They will have effectively thought he was guilty of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility (which he’d already pleaded guilty to). A verdict of which all four medical reports produced for the trial strongly supported. Sutcliffe was almost certainly a severe paranoid schizophrenic.

in fact, in light of that medical evidence, before the trial, the prosecution wanted accept those diminished responsibility pleas (and therefore drop the murder charges), but the judge denied the prosecution leave to accept those pleas against the overwhelming weight of the medical evidence and the trial was therefore put before a jury. An outrageous decision in terms of blind justice, but a highly pragmatic one too.

There was no way the establishment was going to play with a straight bat with Sutcliffe, which is somewhat understandable. He was a horrible ****.

*happy to be proven wrong on the majority verdict btw
