Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe is being sent topless photos by female fans
One female fan included four topless snaps of herself in a card she sent to the serial killer at his top security nick
THE Yorkshire Ripper is being bombarded by naked selfies from women penpals.
One female fan included four topless snaps of herself in a card she sent to Peter Sutcliffe at his top security nick.
Two others have sent risque shots of themselves dressed as Playboy bunny girls.
But Sutcliffe - who gets more than a dozen Valentine's cards each February - was left frustrated when prison staff refused to hand over the most explicit snaps.
He had eagerly gone to collect his post after his penpal told him in a phone call that the latest batch of raunchy pix were waiting for him.
Staff initially told him the pictures hadn't arrived.
He pressed them and they then said they did have the pictures - but still didn't hand them over.
The 71-year-old - doing life for 13 murders of women - said: "It's madness and is so annoying. And what makes it worse is that the staff don't explain anything to you about why they won't hand them over."
Prison rules ban obscene photographs being sent to prisoners.
But Sutcliffe reckons the snaps his friends send in don't breach those rules and he should be allowed to to have them.

He reckons they were withheld because his penpal also sent a couple of topless snaps to his prison buddy.
Sutcliffe was assigned an aide due to his ailing health.
The buddy, known only as Steve, helps him around the wing and reads mail for him.
But Steve, doing 19 years for multiple rapes, is not in regular correspondence with the penpal who sent him topless snaps which may have raised alarm bells according to Sutcliffe.
He said: "She sent four topless photos, two for me and two for Steve. The staff here wouldn't mind if the pictures were only sent to me as it isn't against the rules.
"But she doesn't write to him normally so that will be the issue." The Ripper used to moan about the lack of conjugal visits with wife Sonia while he was held at Broadmoor.
He has said: "It's all that time ago since I made love to Sonia, all those years dulls your memory.
"Marriage vows say let no man put asunder who God has joined together.
"So they're hypocrites because they ask you to swear on the bible and yet they ignore what the bible says."
The Prison Service declined to comment.
