Do you think Peter Sutcliffe should ever been considered for release? Or should he stay in prison until the day he dies?
18 February, 2009 at 2:13 pm #391992Nope, keep him inside, to protect society from him and him from society. If he was released, it would only be a matter of time until he killed again or someone killed him.
18 February, 2009 at 2:59 pm #391993I can’t see what’s so especially terrible about his crimes. He murdered several women, which clearly makes him a very dangerous bloke – to prostitutes at any rate.
But apart from making the Yorkshire Police look like fools (which isn’t too difficult to achieve) he didn’t do anything out of the ordinary for a convicted murderer. Loads of people commit murder; get a life sentence; and are released in 12 years or less.
Maybe it’s because he did a few murders, rather than the more usual one or two at a time.
18 February, 2009 at 4:17 pm #391994I’m shocked PB – one murder may be put down to lust – two might be an unbalanced mind but thirteen for gods sake………………. :shock: :shock:
The man has no sense of morals or how to behave in society so keep him locked up !!
( And if you were related to one of the victims – maybe your view would be different……)
Crosses arms and pokes tongue out :shock: :shock:

PB – he didnt make the Yorkshire Police look like fools it was the system at that particular time – it was before technology was so advanced as it is now. Back in those days it was a card index system. However it did highlight a major flaw and in the following years and with advanced technology a new system was introduced.

according to the Sun newspaper

Yes that’s true Fi-Fi, to a certain extent anyway.
Following the “Yorkshire Ripper” enquiry, the “HOLMES” major enquiry computerised system was implemented. This allows every bit of evidence to be logged and weighted so that none is ‘missed’.
However, even with the old manual system that they used back then, there were a substantial number of flaws in the enquiry and the whole thing was thrown totally off track by undue weight being placed on the ‘goading tapes’ amongst many other well documented things. The result was that they were left chasing thin air for a long time – until they finally got lucky and caught him in the act.
Sadly the Yorkshire Police came out of this debacle with loads of egg on their collective faces and it is said that they have never forgiven Peter Sutcliffe ever since.

I grant you that 13 murders over a long period of time may well be seen as somewhat excessive – but he wasn’t sentenced to a “whole of life term” was he??? Sooner or later he will be released into society at large having been appropriately punished for his crimes.
I feel more strongly about the recent case of the Portuguese lorry driver who killed an entire family, children and all, and only got 3 years for “careless driving”. THAT to me smacks of injustice.
Fortunately I’m not related to any of the Yorkshire Ripper’s victims (at least I don’t think I am), so I can afford the luxury of taking a dispassionate view of his punishment. I suppose that the surviving relatives of Sutcliffe’s victims would like to do him with a hammer – and thus lower themselves to his level eh?
18 February, 2009 at 8:08 pm #391999Just leave him there.. There’s more to worry about than contemplating on whether he should be released or not! No doubt though, with the Government losing files, and whatever else, he’s probably been free for the past four years, and is living in Soho..
