Peter Sutcliffe Who Killed Thirteen Times Due to Police Incompetence

Shockingly, police questioned this vicious killer and let him go

Peter Sutcliffe was convicted in 1981 of thirteen counts of murder. Also, he was convicted of an additional seven counts of attempted murder. He served twenty concurrent life sentences. This was extended to a whole life order in 2010. The media connecting him to Jack the Ripper secured his infamy in popular culture. This was a bold move as his killing method differed dramatically from the original Ripper's. Although no less horrific.
