Neil Jackson defended a new ITV drama after criticism from the serial killer's brother, Carl Sutcliffe.
The son of a victim of the Yorkshire Ripper says a new ITV drama has allowed their voices to be heard. Neil Jackson, 65, hit back after serial killer Peter Sutcliffe's brother accused the series of cashing in on the murders, reports the Mirror.
The ITV programme covers the final moments of Neil's mum, Emily Jackson. In the drama, hard-up Emily suggests the idea of becoming a sex worker to her husband and that she could earn £5 for having sex for five minutes. 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. As she stood over the bonnet with a torch, evil Sutcliffe battered her with a hammer.
"There were three of us kids at the time and times were hard. But it was dad’s idea to go on the game. But in the show it’s the other way round. I want to make sure the record is correct." “They always went together. That’s why I think it was his idea. If he was in one of his moods you’d keep away. He didn’t hit me but he did hit mam. I think they’ve painted him a little bit too nice.
“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.”
