On the 2nd November 1977, as part of the [http://crimehub.co.uk/index.php?title=Jean_Jordan_-_Yorkshire_Ripper_Victim Jean Jordan ] [http://crimehub.co.uk/index.php?title=%C2%A35_Bank_of_England_note_-_The_Yorkshire_Ripper_Inquiry £5 Bank of England note investigation], Detective Constable Howard of the Greater Manchester Police together with a Detective Constable of the West Yorkshire Police interviewed '''Peter William Sutcliffe''' at his home. Sutcliffe’s employers had collected money from the Shipley branch of the Midland Bank to pay their employees. Sutcliffe, who was one of nearly 8,000 people listed for interview during the inquiry, denied ever having visited Manchester except during the course of his employment and said that his last visit had been some twelve months previously when he had delivered goods to an unknown address.
Asked to account for his movements on the evening of the 1st October (the date of the Jordan murder) he said that he had been at home all evening and had gone to bed at 11.30 p.m. He was also asked about his movements on the evening of the 9th October when the murderer was known to have revisited the scene. He said that he and his wife had been at a house-warming party at their new home. Sonia Sutcliffe supported her husband’s account of his movements on both these dates.
