The programme covers the final moments of Emily Jackson, who was Peter Sutcliffe's second victim
The son of one of the Yorkshire Ripper's victim has offered his support to a new TV series about the killer. Neil Jackson, whose mum Emily was battered to death by the killer, said 'at last the victims’ voices are being heard'.
Neil said the only problem he had with the series was that it wrongly suggested it was his mum’s idea to become a sex worker – when it was his dad’s. Neil said: “It makes my dad look far more innocent than he was. I just want to protect my mam’s memory because she was a joyful woman who would do anything for anybody.”
"And it wasn’t her idea to go on the game – it was dad who forced her." His 42-year-old mum was killed in January 1976, three months after the Ripper’s first murder. He picked her up in a car outside a pub and drove her to an industrial estate where he pretended his engine had failed. About the drama overall, he said: “Some of it was horrible to watch but it was amazing and it did take me back in time.” He recalled how his dad, Sydney, was a roofer who went out most nights with his wife. “I didn’t realise what she was doing until years after. She was out six nights a week with dad. I thought they were out having a drink," he remembers.
“But the police came and told us to sit down and told us mam had been murdered. They then took dad down to the police station and myself down to Millgarth police station. We were there for the biggest part of the day. I was really shocked at the time. Dad was on one floor and he was on another being asked questions. I think we were both under suspicion.”
