To refer to the Yorkshire Ripper investigation as "a shambles" is the
understatement of all time.
By 1980, George Oldfield was drinking heavily and close to a heart
attack. The West Yorkshire Police were under increasing pressure from
Margaret Thatcher and William Whitelaw to close the case, by fair
means or foul, to end the international scandal whereby the English
police were an international laughing stock, "Keystone Cops," unable
to catch the Yorkshire Ripper.
Things were coming to a head, one way or another.
The Yorkshire Ripper was "playing" the police, and was beyond their
reach.
By contrast, the emotionally crippled, henpecked idiot Peter
Sutcliffe had had enough, enough of working his arse off at a tough
job for no
reward, enough of being tormented by his frigid wife Sonia, enough of
his unfulfilling wanking sessions over the dying women he managed to
creep up on, enough of failing to compete with the toughness and
cunning of the REAL Yorkshire Ripper whom Peter Sutcliffe was trying
to emulate.
When Peter Sutcliffe forced the cops to arrest him in January 1981,
the result was inevitable. The pressure from Margaret Thatcher and
William Whitelaw was irresistable. Close the case. Pretend that Peter
Sutcliffe is the Yorkshire Ripper. Gloss over the subsequent killings
by the Yorkshire Ripper in the years after 1981, and just hope to
keep the whole thing under wraps.
But the investigation had been so chaotic and shambolic that there
would be some loose ends to "tie up."
