The convicted serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper was serving a life sentence for murdering 13 women across Yorkshire and northwest England between 1975 and 1980. A Prison Service spokesperson confirmed the news this morning, saying: “HMP Frankland prisoner Peter Coonan died in hospital on 13 November, the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman has been informed.” There has been no official confirmation of the cause of death yet, which will be investigated by the coroner in the next few days. I am prepared to let the catalogue of crimes speak for itself.” Wilma McCann’s son, Richard, who was five at the time of his mother’s murder, told reporters today the serial killer’s death would bring “some kind of closure”.
