The Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe has died at the age of 74.
The serial killer was serving a whole life term for murdering 13 women across Yorkshire and the north-west of England between 1975 and 1980.
Sutcliffe was found guilty in 1981 after an unprecedented police manhunt.
He spent three decades at Broadmoor Hospital before being moved to Frankland Prison in County Durham in 2016.
Earlier this week Sutcliffe's brother, Mick, told the T&A that he hadn't heard from his brother for three weeks and was worried about his health.
