HELL IS WAITING!
Ripper rushed to hospital
YORKSHIRE Ripper Peter Sutcliffe has been rushed to hospital and is believed to be close to death.
The 72-year-old was taken ill in his cell at HMP Frankland, Durham, and transferred to Sunderland Royal Hospital late on Sunday evening.
Patients are believed to have seen the serial killer surrounded by guards on one of the wards at the hospital.
The full details of his illness have yet to be released but an insider at the jail says the murderer is on his last legs.
He said: “He has not been a well man for many years. He has been severely obese for decades and that has caused him problems.
“My understanding is that his liver looks like it is failing and he’s not got long left.
“We are looking at a matter of days and frankly it can’t come soon enough. Hell is waiting for him.”
Sutcliffe is currently serving 20 life terms for murdering 13 women and attempting to kill seven more.
The former lorry driver beat his victims to death before mutilating them and remained at large for five years before being caught by police in 1981.
During his trial, Sutcliffe claimed the “voice of God” had sent him on a mission to kill women.
The killer, who uses the name Peter Coonan, was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia following his life sentence but he was moved to Frankland Prison in Durham from Broadmoor psychiatric hospital last year after a ruling that he was sane enough to be transferred.
