(AP Photo, files)LONDON – The British serial killer known as the “Yorkshire Ripper” died Friday, reviving unsettling memories of a killing spree that bred fear across northern England in the late 1970s. Peter Sutcliffe was serving a life sentence for the killings of 13 women in Yorkshire and northwest England between 1975 and 1980. “As a child in West Yorkshire, when he was on his reign of terror, I can say his activities caused fear throughout the region,” Booth said.
