Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, was the most infamous and terrifying serial killer in Britain of the 20th century. Active as early as 1969, Sutcliffe was ultimately arrested for the murder of 13 women and attempting to murder a further 7 more.

It remains to this day among the most famous, controversial & significant manhunts ever undertaken in Britain.

In today’s video, we’ll be shedding light on two heinous unsolved cases from Victorian era London.
