The Consequences Of Chilling Crimes

Decent Essays
Chilling pictures show the tiny cellar which was used as the plot to 'roll the punter' - a crime where men who pay for sex are robbed in hope they will be too ashamed to go to the police.

The case engulfed the nation as one of the most brutal in modern history since that of ‘Jack the Ripper ' in the 1800 's hence why the media adopted the term ‘Yorkshire ripper ' when addressing the case.
