PETER Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, has been divorced by his wife, Sonia. The couple married just two months before he began his reign of terror in which he killed 13 women. After Sutcliffe was jailed for life, she pledged to be faithful but they separated five years ago. Sonia still lives in the house she shared with Sutcliffe in Bradford, but has reverted to her maiden name, Szurma.
