PAWNS OF SATAN Fiends Brady and Sutcliffe played chess together

- By Patrick Hill

THE Yorkshire Ripper has told how he came to despise Ian Brady as they played chess in jail.

Peter Sutcliffe, 70, was in Wormwood Scrubs with the Moors Murderer, who died earlier this month, aged 79.

Speaking before Brady’s death, Sutcliffe told a pal: “I played chess with him and I beat him, so he’s not that bright.

“He was upset about that. He takes everything seriously and thinks he’s the bees knees, but he’s just an idiot.

“He had an air of kindnd of feeling as though he was very important. It was like he thought he was a snob.”ob.”

Brady, who with loverver Myra Hindley murdereded five children and buried them on Saddlewort­h Moor, never discussed his crimes with Sutcliffe, who said: “I didn’t mention anythin anything I’d done and he didn’t mention anything he’d done.” Vile SutcliffeS is serving 20 life sentenc sentences at Broadmoor for murder murdering 13 women and attempti tempting to kill seven others. But despite his crimes, he says he cannot fathom Brady’s evil. He said: “I can’t understand him. He’s just a psychopath. He’s wrong in the head. To do them things that was mental wasn’t it, to kill them kids.”

Sutcliffe was furious after it was reported that Brady had claimed he was more notorious than him five years ago.

He said: “He says he’s the number one. What a pathetic man.” WHAT do you do with all your old copies of the Sunday People? You may just stick them in the recycling, but Scottish artist David Mach has arranged 20 tonnes of newsprint to create a tsunami wave that crashes through a wall and threatens to swallow his Jeep. It is on display at the Griffin Gallery in Kensington, West London, until July 7. His incredible installati­on took two weeks to create – with every single paper perfectly placed. You could say he’s turned our weekly work of art into his own. We trust you read them all first, Dave?
