SIR – The fact that Peter Sutcliffe is still capable of attracting media attention is a ghastly and shameful reminder that he should have been hanged, and as a former grave digger, he could have carried out one good last deed.

Justice was absent, and the fact that he has woken up every day since is just as offensive now as it was then.
