Alfie James Author

Robin Perrie: He joined The Sun as a reporter in 1995 and covered countless stories about Sutcliffe, interviewing his family, victims’ relatives, survivors and others close to him which led to him securing direct access to Sutcliffe via Alfie James. Alfie James: He has always had a passion for true crime and wrote to a number of high-profile offenders to understand the motives behind their actions. Peter Sutcliffe was the one who responded most readily and after communicating by letter and then weekly phone calls he came to trust Alfie enough to place him on the list of people authorised to visit him at Broadmoor and then Frankland prison. Sutcliffe confided his innermost thoughts on every aspect of his life to Alfie who diligently retained all of this material.
