A survivor has highlighted an imbalance of justice for women with an artwork beamed on to the Houses of Parliament on the 40th anniversary of the Yorkshire Ripper’s conviction.
Mo Lea, 61, from Bedford, believes Peter Sutcliffe was responsible for carrying out the hammer attack she suffered in 1980 when she was an art student in Leeds.
Yet decades later, she has still been denied justice and, when the serial killer died last year at the age of 74, he took his knowledge to the grave.
On May 22 1981, Sutcliffe was convicted of murdering 13 women and attempting to murder seven others.
A report by Sir Lawrence Byford found Sutcliffe could have been responsible for 13 more offences and made a string of recommendations to West Yorkshire Police.
