Yorkshire Ripper Investigation

Craigside Walk, Hawksworth Estate, Horsforth

On Thursday, 21st April, 1977, Debbie Schlesinger had enjoyed a night out in Leeds with best friend Pat Power and a group of friends.

Shortly after arriving at houses in Craigside Walk Debbie Schlesinger was stabbed in the heart. She died in the doorway of the Conservative Club.

At the time Debbie's murder was not linked to the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutclliffe.

Many years later a dedicated police officer found a worksheet for Peter William Sutcliffe, provided by his employers, T. & W. H. Clark (Holdings Ltd), showing that late in the same afternoon he delivered empty axle squares and a front axle to a company called Kirkstall Forge.

Its premises were less than a hundred yards from Craigside Walk.
