Stephen Griffiths

Stephen Griffiths is a British convicted serial killer known as the "Yorkshire Ripper" in media reports, although he is unrelated to the original Yorkshire Ripper. Between 2009 and 2010, he murdered three women in Leeds. Griffiths, a loner with a fascination for serial killers, targeted vulnerable women and kept trophies from his victims. His crimes drew significant media attention due to their brutality and his disturbing online presence. In 2010, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. His case highlights issues around mental health, online radicalization, and the dangers of social isolation.
