Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe bragged how he scared jail doc to death – a day before her fatal brain haemorrhage
Former lag tells how twisted Sutcliffe said he threatened to stab psychiatrist in the eye before she collapse the next day
EVIL Peter Sutcliffe boasted that he scared a jail doctor to death — the day before she collapsed with a fatal brain haemorrhage.
The Yorkshire Ripper said that he threatened to stab psychiatrist Daphne Sasieni in the eye when she was examining him on remand.
A source told that Sutcliffe — who murdered 13 women and attempted to kill another seven — "frightened to death" Dr Sasieni, 54.
The former lag got to know Sutcliffe at HMP Armley in Leeds as he awaited his trial in 1981.
He told him: "She was saying things that upset me, so I thought, ‘I’ll upset you’".
Sutcliffe, then 34, bragged "that she died the next day, after going off work for a two-week holiday", the source said.
Sutcliffe, 71, is now in poor health at maximum security HMP Frankland in Durham.
He was dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper during his murder spree in the 1970s across the North.

Tracy Browne – a 14-year-old schoolgirl when he bludgeoned her with a hammer — hopes a cold case probe into unsolved Ripper attacks will see the fiend back in the dock.
"I absolutely want my day in court if he’s tried again", she said.
