Peter Sutcliffe will be heard confessing to more evil crimes in a new documentary set to air this week.
The Yorkshire Ripper, who murdered 13 women in a six-year killing spree, died at HMP Frankland from a combination of Covid-19 and heart disease in November 2020.
In the new tapes he talks about unsolved crimes, reports The Sun.
Chillingly, he also admitted he aimed to kill Olivia Reivers, the sex worker he was with on his arrest in 1981.
Following his conviction he spent three decades at the high-security psychiatric hospital Broadmoor Hospital before being moved to HMP Frankland in 2016.
In Channel 5’s The Ripper Speaks: The Lost Tapes, when asked if he was going to attack Olivia he is heard saying: “Of course I was. That was the whole point.
“I didn’t pick them up for any other reason”
In another confession from beyond the grave, the serial killer admits to an attack on schoolgirl Tracy Browne, 14, in August 1975- two months before he murdered 28-year-old Wilma McCann.
He says: “I saw this Tracy Browne; she didn’t look 15, she looked 19 or 20.
“She was all dressed up. She was walking slowly up this lane.
“I thought, ‘she’s probably one of those prostitutes’ because I had it in my head that Silsden must be full of prostitutes.”
He did not continue the attack, saying a voice inside him told him to stop.
He said she was not "seriously hurt", when she in fact suffered a fractured skull and needed life-saving brain surgery.
The show also features actor Bruce Jones- Coronation Street ’s Les Battersby, who found victim Jean Jordan on waste ground in Manchester in 1977.
In a report after his death, prison ombudsman Sue McAllister raised concerns that Sutcliffe had an eight hour wait for secure transport back to the prison after being discharged from hospital.
She also criticised the use of restraints and a delay by staff in removing them when instructed to do so.
The report also found that Sutcliffe, who went by the name Peter Coonan, was not able to call his wife Sonia, his next of kin, before he died.
It states: "Although most of the prison’s liaison with Mr Coonan’s next of kin was of a good standard, we are disappointed that he could not talk directly with his next of kin when he was dying and that prison staff had to act as messengers for their personal messages."
The Ripper Speaks: The Lost Tapes is on Channel 5 tomorrow at 10pm.
