The Yorkshire Ripper's ashes have been scattered at a beautiful seaside village, according to his niece Emily Sutcliffe. Peter Sutcliffe earned the name for terrorising women in the 1970s and 1980s and was convicted of 13 murders and seven attempted murders.
He died in 2020 aged 74 after catching Covid. Now his niece Emily, speaking for the first time, said some of his ashes have been scattered by the sea in the village of Arnside, Cumbria, where Peter Sutcliffe stayed in his uncle’s caravan as a boy.
Emily, 28, said: “I was taken there once or twice when I was a child. It is lovely. That area means a lot to the whole family. We had family living in the area at the time and would visit them.”
