Sutcliffe died at the aged of 74 at 1.10am after his lungs finally collapsed, the prison service confirmed this morning. The serial killer, who was given a whole life sentence in 1981 for murdering 13 women and attempting to kill seven more, was reportedly petrified of getting covid due to his age, being overweight and in ill-health. But after being diagnosed with the virus he then refused treatment despite his underlying health problems. Sutcliffe' crimes spanning five years between 1975 and 1980 led to one of the largest police manhunt's in British history and resulted in him spending the best part of 40 years locked up in prison and before that in Broadmoor psychiatric hospital.
