Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe moans about missing his favourite TV drama Vikings after move to high-security prison
Serial killer, 70, also complained about having posters confiscated after switch from Broadmoor Hospital to jail
YORKSHIRE Ripper Peter Sutcliffe has moaned about missing TV drama Vikings after his switch to a high-security jail.
Sutcliffe, 70, has also complained of having his belongings confiscated, including James Bond posters featuring Aston Martin cars.
The serial killer was moved from Broadmoor Hospital to Frankland Prison, Durham on Wednesday. He was told at the last minute and was not allowed to take DVDs and letters from pen-pals.
Staff at Frankland will assess which belongings he is allowed once he settles in.
Sutcliffe, who murdered 13 women and tried to kill seven others, has watched three series of the gory drama Vikings at Broadmoor.
A source said: “He loves Vikings but he is worried about not being able to see the next series. He is also worried about his posters of what he calls his ‘James Bond cars’. He knows he will not get cushy treatment.”
Sutcliffe was immediately placed on the healthcare unit at Frankland.

He is on suicide watch and being monitored around the clock by medics and guards after saying he wants to kill himself and threatening to stop taking anti-psychotic medication.
Sutcliffe will now have to earn privileges at the high-security jail, which also holds killers Ian Huntley and Levi Bellfield and hate preacher Anjem Choudary.
He is also terrified of attack at the jail where in 2010 child killer Ian Huntley had his throat slashed in an ambush by fellow inmate Damien Fowkes.
Our source added: “He is also very frightened - and almost resigned to the thought of being attacked by another prisoner at some point.”
