Inside Out: an unsolved Bradford murder
|
One of Britain's leading investigative writers believes an unsolved murder 鈥� which became the centre of a major miscarriage of justice 鈥� could be the work of the Yorkshire Ripper.
听
David Yallop, author of the international bestseller In God's Name, The Power And The Glory and Deliver Us from Evil 鈥� a book about the Ripper 鈥� says in Inside Out on 麻豆约拍 One Yorkshire & Lincolshire that he believes Peter Sutcliffe could have killed 20-year-old Carol Wilkinson in Bradford in October 1977.
听
He says: "I think there is a strong probability that Sutcliffe was responsible on this."
听
The programme, which can be seen at 7.30pm on Wednesday 24听September, describes how local man, Anthony Steel, was orginally convicted for the murder following a confession 鈥� which he later retracted.
听
In 2003, after 20 years behind bars and five years on license, the Court of Appeal quashed the conviction as unsafe and Steel walked free. But he died last year aged 52.
听
Peter Sutcliffe was convicted of 13 murders over five years and remains in prison.
听
David Yallop says: "The evidence that Sutcliffe is likely to be the person responsible is so much stronger than the evidence that Anthony Steel was condemned on, it cries out to be investigated.
听
"You are dealing with one of the saddest and most significant miscarriages of justice in this country since the Second World War."
