Infamous British serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, also known as "The Yorkshire Ripper" has died at the age of 74, Sky News reports. Sutcliffe had recently become infected with the corona virus and refused to be treated, according to the news channel. He died in a hospital in Durham, Sky said, where he had been taken from his cell.
Sutcliffe was sentenced to 20 life sentences in 1981 for the murder of 13 women in the city of Manchester and the North England county of Yorkshire. He was further found guilty of attempted murder of seven women. The man said he had been ordered by God to kill prostitutes.
The erstwhile truck driver, nicknamed after 19th-century serial killer Jack the Ripper, was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia three years after his conviction, but was declared accountable in 2016. As a result, Sutcliffe no longer needed psychiatric treatment and was transferred to a regular prison. Justice assured that he would never be released again.
The man was suspected of having a heart attack earlier this month and was recently returned to prison after hospital treatment, Sky writes. Due to his corona infection, however, he ended up in the infirmary again. Sutcliffe suffered from multiple health conditions, including obesity and diabetes.
