The Yorkshire Ripper could be transferred from Broadmoor after doctors decided he was no longer dangerous, according to reports. Skip related content
Related photos / videos Ripper 'fit to leave Broadmoor' Peter Sutcliffe, who murdered 13 women and tried to kill seven others in the 1970s and 80s, is believed to have been signed off as low-risk by medical staff at the top security hospital in Berkshire. If Justice Secretary Jack Straw agrees with the classification he could be moved to a medium-security facility before eventually being released. Sutcliffe, from Bradford, Yorkshire, was jailed in 1981 for his murder spree across Yorkshire and in Manchester. He was given 20 life sentences and was told by the judge that he would serve a minimum of 30 years. He began his sentence in prison but three years later was diagnosed with schizophrenia and transferred to Broadmoor. Last year his lawyer Saimo Chahal claimed the Home Office disregarded his human rights because they failed to formally fix a tariff for his sentence. Ms Chahal, who specialises in civil liberties and social welfare as a partner at London-based Bindmans & Partners, also aimed to get Sutcliffe back into the prison system and has requested a reassessment of his psychiatric condition. A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Justice said she was unable to comment on individual cases |

I agree the Home Office disregarded his human rights because they failed to formally fix a tariff for his sentence,
now lets see 20 life sentences= 300 years minus 50% for good behavour = 150 years just a little way to go Mr Sutcliffe. |

is it a case though that he has done the time and he is free.personally i dont think he should ever be free .he is the classic example that leathel injection should be given along with ian huntley who no doubt the way th system is going will be out in 20 years. |

I think Mr Sutcliffe is one of the rare sort of prisoners who needs to be taken to a nice quiet little spot and be given a double tap in the back of head. I'm not a big fan of the death sentence but this bloke is beyond help. |
