Peter Sutcliffe, one of Britain's worst serial killers, had Covid but refused treatmentLONDON: One of Britain’s most notorious serial killers, “Yorkshire Ripper” Peter Sutcliffe, died on Friday aged 74, the government said. The hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper was one of Britain’s biggest-ever manhunts but police failings to catch him led to an overhaul of how criminal investigations are conducted. “It’s the victims that served the life sentence and then the victims’ families that really serve the true life sentence. Marcella Claxton, who survived an attack by Sutcliffe 44 years ago, told Sky News she still felt the effects. Richard McCann, whose mother Wilma was Sutcliffe’s first victim in October 1975, told Sky News he had “ruined so many lives”.
