Peter Sutcliffe’s ex-wife, Sonia, has now divorced the serial killer and married her second husband in 1997
When twisted serial killer Peter Sutcliffe was finally caught following his five year reign of terror which left at least 13 women dead, there was just one person he wanted to speak to.
The 74-year-old, who has died in prison following complications after he was diagnosed with coronavirus, had been behind bars since 1981.
He died without ever apologising to his victims’ families and had refused treatment for Covid-19 at the University Hospital of North Durham, three miles from the maximum security Frankland jail where he was an inmate.
Sutcliffe had been treated at the same hospital two weeks earlier after he suffered a suspected heart attack.
The killer was sent back to prison but then returned to hospital when he was diagnosed with coronavirus.
Sutcliffe used hammers and screwdrivers to murder 13 women from all walks of life during the 1970s and 1980s. He is also known to have attacked at least nine other women before his arrest in 1981.
