I fear Ripper in terror of attack at his new jail
YORKSHIRE Ripper Peter Sutcliffe fears he will be murdered in his new top-security prison.
The serial killer who slaughtered 13 women has told his brother: “People will be out to get me. I’m going to have to watch my back.”
Sutcliffe was moved to tough Frankland prison in County Durham last week after officials ruled he no longer needs mental health treatment.
But Sutcliffe, 70, believes the switch from Broadmoor secure hospital where he spent 32 years will lead to him being murdered.
“I might be attacked and killed,” he said. “I fear for my life.”
Sutcliffe’s terror is revealed to the Sunday People today by his brother Carl, 58, who spoke to him shortly before he was moved.
Carl, who thinks Sutcliffe should have been hanged for his five-year reign of horror, revealed the killer has…
ADMITTED he did not need his medication in Broadmoor because there was nothing wrong with him.
MOANED about losing his cushy set-up at the psychiatric hospital, including being able to draw and paint.
NEVER showed any signs of mental instability during the years he was prowling the streets for victims.
NEVER apologised to Carl or his family for his evil crimes.
Executed
Sutcliffe, who was convicted of 13 murders and seven attempted murders in 1981, lost his fight to remain in Broadmoor five days ago.
He was sent to the hospital in Berkshire in 1984 after being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
A health tribunal ruled last December he no longer needs treatment for mental disorder.
The move to Frankland prison will save the taxpayer £250,000 a year.
But as the days counted down to the switch, Sutcliffe, who is serving a whole life sentence, made clear his fears to his brother.
In a phone call from Broadmoor he told Carl: “I’m going to have to watch my back. I’ve loads of friends in Broadmoor but I’ll have to start again in prison.
“I’ll be looking over my shoulder all the time. People will be out to get me.
“I’m diabetic, I’ve got gallstones and I’m nearly blind. I’ve been in Broadmoor for over 30 years.
“I’ve got used to everybody and everybody’s got used to me. We’ve built up trust with each other.
“I’ll be locked in a cell for 23 hours a day instead of being able to walk around as I please. And I won’t be able to do my art.”
It was t he l ast conversation they had before the serial killer was moved to Category A Frankland where inmates include Soham child killer Ian Huntley.
Carl says he would talk to his brother every week – waiting at home in West Yorkshire for a phone call from Broadmoor on Wednesday evenings at 6.15pm. But he temporarily ended contact with his brother because of his whingeing. Carl, a former car salesman, said: “I’m sick of his moaning about his life inside. He did kill 13 people. What does he want? “I stopped taking his calls and agreed with the hospital he wouldn’t ring me any more. “It brings it all back every time I speak to him and I just want to get on with my life.” Carl believes serial killers like his Charlotte Coonan - Deceased Now 70 and serving a life sentence in HMP Frankland brother should be sentenced to death. He said: “I’ve always had the view that people like him should be executed and I’ve told him so a few times. He didn’t respond to that. He probably did not want to hear that from me.
“I do think he should have been executed. He wouldn’t have had anything to worry about then.”
Despicable
Sutcliffe, from Bradford, preyed on women across West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester between 1975 and 1980.
He usually beat them to death with a hammer before mutilating them.
Carl said: “I don’t think I can forgive him for what he’s done. Men hitting women is my pet hate, but to kill them – and with a hammer? What he did was disgusting – despicable.”
During his trial, Sutcliffe claimed to have heard voices that ordered him to kill his victims. The former gravedigger
