Yorkshire Ripper to have prostate op & hopes as ‘celeb’ he will jump the queue
YORKSHIRE Ripper Peter Sutcliffe is to have a prostate op — and is whingeing that he will be handcuffed in hospital.
The serial killer, 73, also reckons he should be allowed to jump the queue for the procedure because of his “celebrity”.
He is on medication to treat his enlarged prostate and at times wakes covered in urine due to leakage from a catheter he wears so he can spend a penny at high-security Frankland Prison, Durham.
The serial killer has moaned about being left stinking of wee in front of other inmates such as Soham killer Ian Huntley and Milly Dowler murderer Levi Bellfield.
Sutcliffe, doing life for 13 murders and seven attempted murders, said: “I’m sick of being covered in p*** when the tube leaks. It’s degrading.”
Claiming he should get preferential treatment at hospital, he added: “I’m more high profile than anyone so they should get me in quick.
“It’s a hassle though with all that goes with it, the manacles all night long. It’s stupid.”
Neil Jackson, 61, of Leeds, whose mum Emily was Sutcliffe’s second murder victim in 1976, said: “It’s outrageous that he thinks he should get special treatment. I hope the scalpel slips.”
A jail source said that prisoners’ hospital treatments were allocated “according to need”.
The Prison Service said it doesn’t comment on individual prisoners.
