The Yorkshire Ripper has enjoyed a specially-arranged baptism service in Broadmoor after becoming a Jehovah’s witness.
Peter Sutcliffe, 68, who was jailed for murdering 13 women, was recently baptised in a pool in a private room at the high security hospital
The serial killer has been a practicing Jehovah’s Witness for several years and holds bi-weekly bible study classes.
Earlier this month the Daily Mail reported on Sutcliffe’s cushy lifestyle in Broadmoor, where he eats chocolate, watches television and listens to music.
Despite being one of the country’s most notorious serial killers he is allowed visitors four days a week – each of whom who can stay for up to four hours.
He is said to have money to spend in the psychiatric hospital’s shop, and attends a ceramics workshop and twice-weekly Bible studies sessions.
In 2010 MailOnline reported Sutcliffe had been befriended over the last 15 years by Jehovah’s Witnesses, who are emphatic that he now shows remorse for his crimes.
The former trucker claimed he was on a divine mission to rid the streets of prostitutes.
The Sun on Sunday has now reported that two fellow Jehovah’s Witness brothers from a local Kingdom Hall carried out the baptism.
