An inquest into the death of Peter Sutcliffe was adjourned today because the coroner has not yet received the prison ombudsman's report into the serial killer's death. Sutcliffe, who was blind and needed a wheelchair, died in hospital on November 13 from a combination of Covid-19, diabetes and heart disease. At the time of his death, the 79-year-old was serving a whole-life term for the murders of 13 women across Yorkshire and Manchester between 1975 and 1980. The assistant senior coroner for County Durham and Darlington, Crispin Oliver, today held a brief hearing at Crook Civic Centre to give an update into how the inquiry was progressing.
