Washington DC Adult Entertainment: Ripper to learn minimum prison term

His name was not on a Home Office list, published in 2006, of 35 murderers serving “whole life” sentences and he was given no formal minimum term – which is the least a prisoner must serve before becoming eligible to apply for release on parole.
He is currently being held in Broadmoor top security psychiatric hospital after being transferred from prison in 1984 suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, and in 2006 he was said in a report to pose a “low risk of reoffending”.
It was on July 5 1975, just 11 months after his marriage, that he took a hammer and made his first attack on a woman.
Sutcliffe is said to have believed he was on a “mission from God” to kill prostitutes – although not all of his victims were sex workers – and was dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper because he mutilated their bodies using a hammer, a sharpened screwdriver and a knife.
