Non-Believer Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The sense of fear he distributed across the North was palpable even here on IoM. It's probably safe to say that he changed society in many ways, especially in terms of females' attitude to their safety. It was unfortunate too that he took so long to be apprehended. Hopefully he's got a nice hot corner in Hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 A great shame it wasn’t a far longer and far more painful death. If ever someone should have been left to the victim’s families for revenge retribution, this bastard was that person. One of history’s worse.

Shake me up Judy Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Sounds like he chose to die. Unlike his poor victims. Nearly forty years at the taxpayers expense on top of the millions it took to catch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 My story involving Jack was when I was 11. I was in the children's hospital in Sheffield and when you are 11 and in hospital you aren't really interested in the news or anything else for that matter, but I do remember when a nurse came in to the ward saying the police had arrested the Ripper about 300 yards from the Hospital with a hammer in his car. For a murderer to bring fear to women across a large area of the North of England shows the evil he wrought. I can still remember to this day the relief the nurses expressed that night. Bury his black heart in the confines of Durham gaol and be glad it is being eaten by worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeRaccoonsInATrenchCoat Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Why do you think there was such an odd surge in serial killers back at the time and why do you think it ended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it end? Has it ended? What of Stephen Port, the gay serial killer. Steve Wright, the Suffolk strangler or Donald Neilson to name but three? Some theorists suggest that there is possibly more than half a dozen serial killers on the loose in Britain at the present time. Harold Shipman too. Psychopaths often escape justice because of their cunning, forensic awareness and plausibility under interview, Sutcliffe being a prime example, interviewed 9 times before falling foul of a copper's instinct.

I think they should find Festus McCorkindale "The Cornish Wheat Beater" before he runs amok. Compresses his victims and eats them for breakfast,so the rumour goes.

What do you think? And of course there’s a nurse recently charged for multiple baby deaths in Chester, then the Dr in Gosport with elderly patients and end of life care. Plus the Wests, Stephen Akinmurele ( Manx connection ), Levi Bellfield, Steven Grievson, Allan Grimson, Colin Morris. Dozens more over last 50 years.

quilp Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Beverly Allitt, Colin Ireland, Levi Bellfield, Robert Black, all post-Sutcliffe. An "odd surge" seems illogical. Pre-Sutcliffe serial killers were just as active and in the days before DNA, databases and forensic advances many more escaped justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I'm still curious what TRIATC was leaning toward. (insert joke where necessary 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Saw on Linkedin some comments on his death from a criminal lawyer. He took up law, as the Ripper killed his mother. Quite moving really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
