I survived the serial killer the Yorkshire Ripper | Life Stories

MO Lea's heart quickened in terror as the sound of footsteps behind her moved closer and grew louder.

Suddenly, the man with a 'softly spoken and friendly voice' who she'd bumped into just moments earlier was beside her, hammering blows to her head.

Her assailant was in fact the 'Yorkshire Ripper' Peter Sutcliffe, who was later convicted of killing 13 women and attempting to murder seven others including sex workers, between 1975 and 1980.
