I clearly remember visiting friends at Leeds uni, in digs in the red light district at the time, in the late seventies. and you could almost touch the fear in the cold night air....

"Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe, from Bradford, now 59, was jailed for life in 1981 for the murder of 13 women"
I expect (hope) the court will deal with him on the basis that several lives could have been saved had he not wasted so much Police time and completely sent the investigation off on the wrong track.a

OMG............................. He has to be dealt with.....
Stupid man.............
why???????
Peter Sutcliffe not only killed but injured appallingly some of his victims, and not all of them died..
Now imagine if you find out that someone who took the police off the scent had admitted it....................
How could someone own up to being a hoaxer of this size. Perhaps he's riddled with guilt or is it because he wants to make a fast buck.. Either way I am horrified

This 
should have everything thrown at him and kept in prison for a very long time indeed. He wilfully led the police away from the real killer and in fact led to the first arrest of Sutcliffe ending in his release when Sutcliffe's voice didn't match that of the "ripper" on the tapes. Wearside Jack had a very direct link to the deaths and injuries of several women whom he essentially bought time for Sutcliffe to go and abuse, torture and murder.
Interestingly this is not a police success either, they made a mess of the case when it was happening and the same happened again trying to catch Wearside Jack. It was the tireless work of one journalist finding the information and following leads for literally half a decade or more that finally led to the arrest and subsequent confession of Wearside Jack. Apparently someone even tried to kill the journalist (whose name I cannot remember) in a hit and run incident as he left work. A link to his research and campaign to find Wearside Jack was never proven by circumstancial evidence said a great deal!
Good to see him behind bars at last though, let him rot!

I have a book on my bookshelves: "The REAL Yorkshire Ripper" by an Irishman called Noel O'Gara, first published 1989. It makes interesting reading but is somewhat self-serving though quite convincing. He reckons Peter Sutcliffe was merely a copycat killer.
There's a chap called Dick Holland, a now-retired Police officer from the West Yorkshire Constabulary who was in charge of the Ripper Enquiry for much of its duration.
Two other important criminals "brought to justice" by Dick Holland were Stefan Kiszko (murder of Lesley Molseed in Rochdale, 1975) and Judith Ward (explosion on coach carrying Army personnel by Hartshead Moor Services on the M62 in 1974). Both were, after serving many years in prison, released with charges dropped. Dick Holland was charged in connection with the case of Stefan Kiszko, but the charges were dropped before it ever got to Court (to the dismay of Lesley's relatives, and to the disgust of the public!) in, ooh, around 1993?
The fact that West Yorkshire Police went with the 'Geordie Connection', to the exclusion of all else, says a lot about their closed minds. Dick Holland was not an atypical senior West Yorks copper of the time, hence the nonsense with the charging of Stefan Kiszko and Judith Ward. Top down management?
