The Byford report revealed that Sutcliffe could have been responsible for a further 13 offences. But West Yorkshire police said they could not comment on who detectives had spoken to in the course of an ongoing investigation. In 2016 the force did confirm that officers had visited a small number of people named in the Byford report, which was completed in 1982 but only made public in 2006.
