An Unprecedented Police Corruption Scandal

Peter Newman | 06.06.2006 04:26 | Gender | Social Struggles

What you are about to read will seem beyond belief because it reveals that a major story that has been hyped up in the media for the past twenty-five years is the opposite of the truth. It has to end now.

================================================================
A POLICE CORRUPTION SCANDAL OF UNPRECEDENTED PROPORTIONS IS
SIMMERING IN THE PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS IN ENGLAND TODAY AND WHEN
FORCED OUT INTO THE OPEN THIS CASE WILL BECOME SENSATIONAL
HEADLINE NEWS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
================================================================
'We must now face the very real possibility that there is a
second man preying on women."
-Detective Chief Superintendent Lapish, Bradford C.I.D. 1978.

"Copy-Cat Ripper at Large."
-Daily Mail, 1978;

"Oldfield conceded to us that there is not one Ripper, but at
least two."
- Sunday Times 'Insight.' 1980.

"It was known in the top echelons of the police that two men
were involved in the series of murders."
-R.J.P. Warren ~ Deputy Chairman of West Yorkshire Police
Authority. 1989.

"Another Maniac At Large - Police doubt Ripper link in
student's murder."
-Yorkshire Post, 19-11-1980

"I agree with your premise that Sutcliffe was not responsible
for all the murders."
-Ian Smith ~ Editor of Chief Constable Ronald Gregory's
Memoirs, 1983.

"I don't think now that Sutcliffe did all the killings he
confessed to."
-Brian Marriner ~ Author of 'A century of Sex Killers.'
=======================================================

It was a well established fact that at the time of Peter
Sutcliffe's arrest, two killers were involved in the series of
murders and assaults; the Yorkshire Ripper, who had been
corresponding with the police, and a copy-cat killer.

Sutcliffe's assaults followed by masturbation at the scene
coincided with a series of horrific murders of prostitutes in
Leeds and Bradford Red Light areas by a cunning maniac who was
dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper.

Sutcliffe, whose emotional state was rapidly deteriorating,
came to believe he was the Ripper. He was becoming increasingly
desperate and wanted to be caught. His first fatal attack was
on Jean Jordan in Manchester, and there he left a £5 note clue
which led the police to him for the first of twelve interviews
over the next three years. He was eliminated each time, because
his teeth pattern and blood group did NOT match the Ripper's.
Finally, Sutcliffe's arrest in 1981 and his "confessions"
enabled the police to clear the slate.

He was duly convicted on his uncontested "confessions." In
court much was made of Sutcliffe's four murders while the
prosecution skimmed over the real Ripper victims, relying on
Sutcliffe's "confessions" and ignoring the forensic evidence
relating to the real Ripper murders. The goalposts were moved
with Sutcliffe firmly in jail.

The real Ripper, with the rare B-secretor blood group detected
from semen and saliva on bites, was written off as a hoaxer and
officially the case remains firmly closed.

----------------------------------------

What is so scandalous here is that the West Yorkshire Police,
having badly bungled the investigation, and under intense
pressure from prime minister Margaret Thatcher and from the
people of Leeds / Bradford, made a conscious decision to allow
a vicious serial killer to go free when it became expedient to
pretend Peter Sutcliffe is the Yorkshire Ripper.

The killings have not stopped since the phoney Sutcliffe trial.
A man like the Yorkshire Ripper will not stop killing until he
is caught.

This unprecedented police corruption scandal which must now be
brought out into the open can be summed up as follows:

Senior officers of the West Yorkshire Police have been
complicit and are accessories in the murders of the women
killed by the Yorkshire Ripper in the years since the phoney
Sutcliffe trial. These corrupt policemen have endangered the
lives of every woman who has lived in England since 1981 by
ending the hunt for a deranged serial killer, the Yorkshire
Ripper, and allowing him to go on murdering women in England.
This concerns everyone in England. We all have mothers, and
most of us have wives, sisters, daughters; all our women have
been put at risk by the decision to pretend Peter Sutcliffe is
the Yorkshire Ripper and to leave the real Ripper free.

After twenty-five years of systematic police deception and
media complicity, a growing number of people are determined to
force this issue out into the open and to demand that we all
take a long hard look at police power structures and incentives
which place priority on securing convictions at any price.

Our democracy, such as it is, is worth preserving and enhancing
and building on. This process will be strengthened, and we will
all sleep more soundly in our beds, the day the Yorkshire
Ripper cover up is dragged out into the open so that the much-
needed lessons can be learned and applied.

We owe that much to our women, whose lives are still endangered
as long as this case remains closed and the Yorkshire Ripper
remains free.
