Available for over a year

The serial killer Peter Sutcliffe has died of Covid-19. He was convicted of the murders of 13 women, and the attempted murder of 7 others, in Yorkshire and the north-west of England between 1975 and 1980. Jane Garvey on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour speaks to Joan Smith, a feminist writer and campaigner, and author of Misogynies – she was a reporter in the North of England at the time. Louise Wattis is a criminologist at Teeside University and Carol Ann Lee is the author of Somebody’s Mother Somebody’s Daughter. We also hear from Richard McCann whose mother Wilma was the first woman killed by Peter Sutcliffe, and Mo Lea who was an art student in Leeds when she was attacked 40 years ago. Sutcliffe was never convicted of the assault on Mo.
