Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe has been signed off as low risk, paving the way for his eventual release, it is reported. Doctors at top security hospital Broadmoor have told lawyers for the killer - who murdered 13 women and tried to kill seven others in the 1970s and 80s - that he is no longer dangerous, The Sun said. If Justice Secretary Jack Straw agrees with the classification, the paper added, it could see him moved to a medium security facility and eventually released into society. Sutcliffe, from Bradford, Yorkshire, was jailed in 1981 for his murder spree across Yorkshire and in Manchester. He was given 20 life sentences and was told by a judge that he would serve a minimum of 30 years. He began his sentence in prison but three years later was diagnosed with schizophrenia and transferred to Broadmoor. Last year his lawyer Saimo Chahal claimed the Home Office disregarded his human rights because they failed to formally fix a tariff for his sentence. Ms Chahal, who specialises in civil liberties and social welfare as a partner at London-based Bindmans & Partners, also aimed to get Sutcliffe back into the prison system and has requested a reassessment of his psychiatric condition. A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Justice said she was unable to comment on individual cases. FROM AOL |

Yes i agree dont think he should ever be release and if the public found out where he is then god help him cos he will need it, he would have to go into hiding i think and how much would all this cost us, hes better off staying locked up |

Some guy wrote a book with convincing evidence that peter Sutcliffe was actually not guilty of all of these crimes but I am yet to read it. It was advertised in one of my Murder Most Foul quarterlies. I'll see if I can find any links.. http://www.yorkshireripper.co.uk/ |

Whether he is inside or outside of prison he is being kept by public funds if he was released which I dont think he will ever be he would still be living off public funds. It was said that he must serve at least 30 years in prison no doubt he will live the rest of his life in prison simular to his parntner Mira Hindley and there was some body saying that she was inocent and trying for her release but failed. |

I think I read that he'd had one of his eyes gauged out with another inmate's biro. Still, I wouldn't mind getting hold of that book that supposedly offers up some damning evidence as to how Sutcliffe is a copy-cat killer and not the real ripper! I'll have a scout around online later. |

There is no problem in the human condition that cannot be solved by the proper placement, timing, tamping and fusing of high explosives. | |
