Terrified Britain with mysterious murders ... the death of "Yorkshire butcher" with "Corona"

Peter Sutcliffe, the murderer, known as the "Yorkshire Killer", one of the most prominent criminals in British history, died after he refused treatment for infection with the emerging coronavirus

Sutcliffe became famous at the end of the seventies, when he terrified Britain, after carrying out a series of murders, which killed 13 girls in northern England, while 9 others were injured, between 1975 and 1980.

He was trying to kill seven others, and it was also found that he was behind a number of other crimes.

The brutality of his attacks shocked and angered the police over their inability to quickly arrest him and prevent further murders.

Sutcliffe, a former grave digger, was sentenced to life in prison in 1981.

The professional killer had spent nearly 30 years in Moamen Hospital in the southeast of England, after his condition was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenia.

He was transferred to a maximum security prison in 2016.

The tests showed that the 74-year-old was infected with the Corona virus, but he refused to receive treatment, according to the Prisons Authority.

Sutcliffe also had a heart problem, diabetes and obesity.
