SICK NOTES
PETER Sutcliffe has been deluged with sick “fan mail” since moving back to jail.
The Yorkshire Ripper, 70, has received dozens of letters and cards of support and “love”.
Some women have even sent him saucy snaps of themselves.
The correspondence to HMP Frankland, Co Durham, is mainly sent by women fascinated by the serial killer who murdered 13 women.
A source said: “He must have received between 50 and 100 letters since last August.
“Some offer sympathy, others tape coins or money to a card – and the most shocking tell him they ‘love’ him.
“A lot ask him to write back to them so that they can begin a relationship. Frankly, it’s weird.”
The most disturbing letters are censored or removed by prison staff.
The source added: “In the past, letters have been smudged with lipstick.
“One included a pair of knickers. The new ones EXCLUSIVE ANDY GARDNER tend to say, ‘It’s wrong to send you back to prison. You are ill.’”
Despite the rush of letters, Sutcliffe has told staff to bin most of the correspondence.
He claims to be too busy to write back to his new admirers.
The monster is held on the Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder unit at Frankland, where he was moved from Broadmoor psychiatric hospital, Berks, in 2016.
Other notorious inmates held there include serial killer Levi Bellfield and Soham murderer Ian Huntley. His new pen pals include two Jehovah’s Witnesses, a female truck driver and an Italian woman.
Any money sent Sutcliffe goes into prison bank account.
Sutcliffe received 20 life terms in 1981 for the 13 murders and the attempted murder of seven others in Yorkshire and Greater Manchester.
He was recently visited in jail by police probing 17 further assaults.
The list of attacks is thought to include several with hammers – the same method the Yorkshire Ripper used on his helpless victims. to his
