Serial killer Peter Sutcliffe is being made to wear adult nappies in high-security Frankland Prison. The Yorkshire Ripper, who butchered 13 women and tried to kill seven others, was moved to the mainstream jail after spending three decades in a psychiatric unit at Broadmoor Hospital.
He was transferred in August when a tribunal decided his paranoid schizophrenia had been treated. He is reportedly having to wear the nappies after prison officers had to change his bedding seven days in a row.
Sources claim his wetting the bed is a ruse to try and get out of Frankland. One told the Daily Star on Sunday: 'He wants the cushy life like he had in Broadmoor, where he had some sort of twisted celebrity status. 'He hasn't stopped complaining since he arrived. He uses just about every excuse going to get out of doing any work. 'He will do just about anything to get out of Frankland.'
Sutcliffe, 70, also claimed his return to prison from Broadmoor hospital had affected his eyesight. A prison attack in 1997 left Sutcliffe without any sight in his left eye while his right has been worsening because of a medical condition.
He reportedly told a friend: 'I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't write and read my letters and watch the TV. 'I love Mrs Brown's Boys but my eyesight is worse than it has ever been and, if I don't get treatment I will soon be totally blind.'
He had planned to convert to Islam but is understood to have changed his mind after learning he would have to be circumcised.
