During his five-year reign of terror across the North of England, he brutally took the lives of 13 women.

Some of them were sex workers – but many were not and between 1975 and his arrest in Sheffield in January 1981, he struck fear across large swathes of Yorkshire.

As well as the 13 murders he was found guilty of, he also attacked nine other women – and there may be many more attacks that will never come to light following his death.
