According to the British "Mirror" report on February 16, 2020, Peter Sutcliffe, a Yorkshire serial killer, wrote a greeting card to his ex-wife Sonia on Valentine's Day and asked the prison guards , Make a video call to Sonia, who is now remarried, or ask her to visit him in prison. Suddenly made this request, mainly because Sutcliffe believed that he would die soon, and hoped that he would still have a chance to see his ex-wife.
Peter Sutcliffe, 73, is a "famous" perverted ripper in Yorkshire, England. He used to be a long-distance truck driver. After meeting his ex-wife Sonia in 1969, he was jealous of her talking to other men, so he carried out his first attack on an unknown woman. After that, in the five years from 1976 to 1981, Sutcliffe killed 13 women with a knife, hammer, and screwdriver. In 1981, he was sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of murdering 13 women and attempted murder of 7 women.
Sutcliffe and his ex-wife Sonia married in the 1970s and divorced in 1994. After the divorce, they still kept in touch. In 1997, Sonia married the hairdresser Michael Woorward (Michael Woorward). In December 2015, Sonia met Sutcliffe again at the Broadmoor Mental Hospital. This is their last meeting. During Sutcliffe's interrogation, she denied knowing of his crime.
Last Sunday, a source told the Sunday Sun that Sutcliffe hoped that the prison staff would arrange a meeting with his ex-wife or make a video call because he is currently in Frankland, Durham. The prison accepts high-level imprisonment, blindness in the left eye, paranoid schizophrenia, accompanied by high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases. He thinks he may die in prison soon. Therefore, before dying, I hope to contact his ex-wife Sonia again.
According to British law, prisoners are usually only allowed to make video calls with lawyers, or when relatives are seriously ill or dying. And now, Sutcliffe is asking the warden to call Sonya and persuade her to come and visit him. But even if Sonia agrees, it must go through a long process to see him, including censorship and interviews with the police. This is the standard practice for visiting Type A prisoners.
It is understood that Sutcliffe did not only send Valentine's Day cards to Sonia, he sent cards to many women. "We were stunned that someone was willing to contact him." The source said.
In fact, in 2019, a 27-year-old girl named Christo Smith kept in contact with Suttercliffe, but later fell in love with him and wanted to marry him and give birth to him through IVF Children.
