Speaker 2 (00:31):
Hi, Welcome back to part four of the inaugural episode
of Overkilling fifteen Minutes, where we take a look at
one of the episodes we did for Killing fifteen minutes
and expound on it entirely too much. And by too much,
I mean probably on average what other people have done
and us talking about.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
We actually expand a lot. And if you like that awesome.
If you don't let us know, please, we'll try and
make the next one.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
You can't affect us on this episode, but you can't
affect the next one, and you could even get You

to see an exposition expound on a Dorothea Puente or
Stuart Little not Stuart Little.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Samuel Little Samuel Little. Oh yeah, that would take forever.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Then let us know, check out our Patreon talk to
us on social media at killing fifteen minutes on Facebook
or killing fifteen mens on Twitter or x whatever it
is now. But anyways, I'm Major Carrey and back to Sutcliffe.
(01:41):
As last episode, we ended off on a hoax of
someone being like, I'm Jack the rip Yo, I'm the
one doing's all this. So now we're actually getting back
to the Sutcliffe investigation, well not an investigation because now
he's been cleared and no one thinks that he did
it anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So September one, nineteen seventy nine, you spelled out first.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, it happened.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
He murdered Barbara Leach, a Bradford University student. Her body
was found at the rear of thirteen Ashgrove under a
pile of bricks. The murder of another woman who was
not a prostitute again alarmed the public and an expensive
publicity campaign in emphasizing the Westside. This was his second
(02:32):
murder of a woman who was not a prostitute, which
again alarmed the public, and an extensive and expensive publicity
campaign emphasizing the weird side connection did start happening in
spite of the false lead, though from the hosts we
talked about last episode, Sutcliffe was interviewed at least two
more times in nineteen seventy nine. Despite matching several forensic
(02:58):
clues being on the lift to three hundred names in
connection with the five pound note, he was not strongly suspected. Sucliffe, however,
was arrested for drunk driving April nineteen eighty. While awaiting trial,
he then murdered Marguerite Walls, a civil servant, on August twentieth,
nineteen eighty. She had left her office to walk home
(03:21):
around ten pm when she was attacked from behind. He yelled,
filthy prostitute, besides the driveway, as you repeatedly hit her with.
If you've been listening, you know what this is.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
It's a hammer. Hi the hammer.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
To move her twenty feet to a high walled garden,
he tied a rope and choked her. I'm assuming he
tied the rope around her neck and dragged her like
a sack of potato style. He partially covered her partially
naked body with leaves. Upegia Bandara, a Singapore doctor, was
attacked on September twenty fourth, nineteen eighty while walking home
(04:00):
with Sutcliffe struck her in the head in an alleyway
in Headingsley, Leeds. Once unconscious, he tied her up around
her neck and was startled and was startled having to
flee after dragging her along the street. Then there was
Maureen Leah, who was an art student at Leeds University
who was attacked on October twenty fifth, nineteen eighty.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
She was attacked as.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
She rushed down a dark street to catch the bus home.
Lea woke up in the hospital severely injured. So he
really just started randomly just walking around blalking people on
the head with a hammer or do you think he
was interrupted on this one?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
And I think he was interrupted.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Teresa Sikes was then attacked in Huddard's Field on the
evening of November fifth, nineteen eighty. Sikes was going to
go shop in Oakes, Huddersfield, when she got struck from behind.
Sykes's boyfriend heard her screams, scaring Sutcliffe when he interrupted him.
Sikes was recovering from Brent Surgery. When Sutcliffe was arrested
(05:01):
on November twenty fifth, nineteen eighty, Trevor Birdsall reported Sutcliffe
as a suspect. If you have no idy, you probably
don't remember birds All if this is your first episode,
which I don't know why it would be the birds
All we brought up episode one episode in part one
of this. Yeah. Yeah, he was the getaway driver in
nineteen sixty nine's attack. In total, Sutcliffe was questioned by
(05:24):
police nine separate occasions in connection to the Ripper enquiries,
which is awkward because he killed like twenty some people.
On the night of November seventeenth, nineteen eighty, Jacqueline Hill
was murdered. She was returning home from the student hall
at Leeds University in Headingsley, Leeds. Attacked first with a
(05:46):
hammer before being stabbed with a screwdriver. See he really
does switch up between the knife and the screwdriver.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, he does.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
On January second, nineteen eighty one, Sutcliffe was pulled over
with prostitute Olivia Reavers in the driveway of Light Tradeshouse
on Melbourne Avenue in Brunsville, Sheffield, South Yorkshire. A check
by Probationary Constable Robert Hydes showed Suckcliffe was running fake
license plates. He was arrested and transferred to Dewsborough Police
(06:19):
station in West Yorkshire. At Dewsborough, Suckcliffe was interviewed in
relation to the Ripper case, as he looked like the sketches.
The next day started. Robert ring went looking at the
arrest scene and found a knife, hammer and rope discarded
by Sutcliffe behind an oil storage tank when he led
his way out of police sight, stating he was burst
(06:42):
in for a pee.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
There's a lot of p in this one. Yeah, yeah,
I noticed that.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I mean technically it's everyone needing to go.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
To pee that leads to some shit.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
But anyway, Suckcliffe hit a second knife in the toilet
tank at the police station when given permission to use
the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Pat the guy down, yeah, like literally.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
The police acquired a search warrant for his home in
Heaton and interviewed his wife. When Suckcliffe was stripped at Dewsborough,
he was wearing an inverted v NEX sweater under his pants.
Basically he was free bawling with the sleeves patting his knees. Yeah,
what the the sexual implications of the outfit was obvious?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Was it? Well?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Is that obvious?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I don't know, but they said it was obvious, so
I figured you'd see it as obvious.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
However, that information wasn't released in two thousand and three.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That's that odd. How what is the sexual implications?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I don't know, but they didn't need underpants because he
was gonna go have sex.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I kind of wanted to know why the v next sweater.
Most likely, that's my thing.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It would pat his knees, but you know what else
would chaps long John's I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
He was a weird man, sick motherfucker. I actually have
a secondary opinion on this.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Okay, and this is stupid, but it's as stupid as
sexual implications. What if he was wearing it to change
into it?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I don't know. What if you bring up a valid
point that does give it?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You know, I mean, what he does is he bludgeons
blood there, blood splatter there a lot. Then he stabs repeatedly.
Blood splatters there a lot. So he doesn't mind, you know,
because say he's driving back home after a killing, he's
covered in blood.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Okay, maybe okay, I could see I could see the
I see you could see where.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The fact that he's wearing it as a fucking ashless chaps,
I'm weirded out by. I would leave it in the
trunk or like the backs. You know. Yes, but because
he is kind of a I'm gonna kill him wherever
I kill him. Yeah, maybe he just knew there wasn't
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
If you are listening, tell me the sexual implications of
wearing a vy Next sweater as underpants. I lost my
train of thought here, Okay, okay, okay. After intensive questioning,
Suckcliffe declared that he was in fact the Yorkshire Ripper
(09:31):
on January fourth, nineteen eighty one. He spent the next
day describing the attacks. Weeks later, he claimed that God
told him to murder the women. To quote, the women
I killed were filth bastard prostitutes who were littering the streets.
I was just cleaning up the place a bit. I
know that's not a Yorkshire accent, but I don't know
(09:55):
why this is what I slipped into.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
This is no murdering voice.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Sutcliffe showed regret only when talking about Jane MacDonald, and
when questioned about Joan Harrison. He adamantly denied her murder.
Joan Harrison was the murder victim from the hoaxer. Now
again that was Harrison's murder was linked to the ripper
by Westside Jack that was the claimed one. However, in
(10:23):
twenty eleveny an evidence revealed the crime had been committed
by convicted sex offender Christopher Smith, who actually had died
in two thousand and eight. On January fifth, nineteen eighty one,
Sutcliffe was charged. At trial, he pled not guilty to
thirteen charges of murder, but guilty to manslaughter on grounds
(10:43):
of diminished responsibility. The basis for his defense was that
he claimed to be the tool of God's will. He
said he heard voices ordering him to kill prostitutes while
working as a grave digger, which originated from the headstone
of a Polish man, Bronislav Tapalski, and that the voices
(11:05):
were that of God. Well, if you wanted to go insane.
The trial was set on May fifth, nineteen eighty one,
after Justice Sir Leslie Boram denied a plea deal for
seven charges of attempted murder. Prosecution were going to listen
to the four experts that he was a paranoid, schizophrenic
and not in his right mind and pled him out
(11:26):
and play him out. However, the trial lasted two weeks
and he was found guilty of murder on all accounts
and sentenced to twenty concurrent sentences of life imprisonment. The
jury dismissed the evidence of the four psychiatrists who testified
to Sutcliff's paranoid schizophrenia, possibly influenced by the evidence of
a cop who overheard Subcliff say to his wife that
(11:49):
if he's convicted he would convince people he was mad.
He might only get ten years in the looney bin.
Justice Boram stated that Suckcliffe was beyond redemption and hopes
he would never leave prison. He recommended a minimum term
of thirty years to be served before parole could even
be considered, meaning Sutcliffe would be eligible for parole in
(12:10):
twenty eleven. On July sixteen, twenty ten, the High Court
issued Sutcliffe with a whole life tariff never to be reliefed.
I'm assuming the whole life tariff is no, You're not
fucking getting parole anytime.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
After his trial, he admitted to two additional attacks. It
was decided that prosecution was not in public interest. In
these two attacks, West Yorkshire Police made it clear the
victims wished to remain anonymous. West Yorkshire Police were criticized
for being inadequately prepared for an investigation on the scale
(12:44):
of the Ripper murders predating computers. It was one of
the largest investigations by a British police force. The nineteen
eighty two Biferred report into the investigation concluded the ineffectiveness
of the Major Incident Room was a serious handicap to
the Ripper investigation. While it should have been the effective
(13:05):
nerve center of the whole police operation, the backlog of
unprocessed information resulted in the failure to connect vital pieces
of relevant information. This series fault into central index system
allowed Peter Sutcliffe to continually slip through the net. Sutcliffe
died at University Hospital of North Durham on November thirteenth,
(13:26):
twenty twenty two, from diabetes related illness. And that is
the story of Peter Sutcliffe, who Doggy. If you'd like
to hear us talk about, you know, any final conclusions
on that, definitely look at the killing fifteen Minutes episode,
(13:47):
because ultimately that was where we took a lot of
assumptions and based off of it, you know. Yeah, And
really there's nothing to draw on on here because this
is a lot more overkilling and it's also been fifteen minutes.
So is there anything you'd like to just sadd say?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
No, no, No, Peter Sucker was a sick motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Though he was. Was he led down by society? I
don't think so.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I think he let himself down.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I think he totally escalated, and I do think that
there probably was some form of mental health issues. Was
he actually crazy? No, However, he grew up in a
negative impactful environment.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
So we started killing hookers. Yep.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
But like I said, if you'd like to hear more
of a better uh you know, overall thoughts on Peter Sutcliffe,
please check out Killing fifteen minutes. The very first episode
was our Peter Sutcliffe. And with that that is the
end of the very first overkilling fifteen minutes. I hope
(14:55):
you enjoyed it. If you didn't, let us know why,
and we'll see about fixing that later. Perhaps we sound
less drunk and unprepared than the very first time we
did this. Yeah, But as always, I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Aj carey and I'm Sam Rossi and don't kill anybody later.
Speaker 2 (15:14):

died at University Hospital of North Durham on November thirteenth,
(13:26):
twenty twenty two, from diabetes related illness. And that is
the story of Peter Sutcliffe, who Doggy. If you'd like
to hear us talk about, you know, any final conclusions
on that, definitely look at the killing fifteen Minutes episode,
(13:47):
because ultimately that was where we took a lot of
assumptions and based off of it, you know. Yeah, And
really there's nothing to draw on on here because this
is a lot more overkilling and it's also been fifteen minutes.
So is there anything you'd like to just sadd say?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
No, no, No, Peter Sucker was a sick motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Though he was. Was he led down by society? I
don't think so.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I think he let himself down.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I think he totally escalated, and I do think that
there probably was some form of mental health issues. Was
he actually crazy? No, However, he grew up in a
negative impactful environment.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
So we started killing hookers. Yep.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
But like I said, if you'd like to hear more
of a better uh you know, overall thoughts on Peter Sutcliffe,
please check out Killing fifteen minutes. The very first episode
was our Peter Sutcliffe. And with that that is the
end of the very first overkilling fifteen minutes. I hope
(14:55):
you enjoyed it. If you didn't, let us know why,
and we'll see about fixing that later. Perhaps we sound
less drunk and unprepared than the very first time we
did this. Yeah, But as always, I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Aj carey and I'm Sam Rossi and don't kill anybody later.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Y'all.
