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.
After a number of new £5 notes from the Bank of England consignment were identified in the possession of people who could be eliminated from the inquiry it was possible to eliminate some firms as recipients of the [http://crimehub.co.uk/index.php?title=Jean_Jordan_-_Yorkshire_Ripper_Victim "Jordan"] note and thus to limit the scope of the inquiry. T. & W.H. Clark was not one of the firms which could be eliminated and on 8th November 1977 Sutcliffe was re-interviewed by [http://crimehub.co.uk/index.php?title=Detective_Constable_Leslie_Smith_-_Yorkshire_Ripper_Investigation Detective Constable Leslie Smith] of West Yorkshire and [http://crimehub.co.uk/index.php?title=Detective_Constable_Rayne_-_Yorkshire_Ripper_Investigation Detective Constable Rayne] of the Greater Manchester Police. He again satisfied the inquiry officers, who obtained further alibi evidence from his mother in connection with the house-warming party mentioned previously. They were at that time preoccupied with the £5 note aspect and did not examine Sutcliffe’s car or its tyres, although they did examine some footwear and household tools which they felt were relevant to the Ripper crimes.
