A lorry driver by trade, his modus operandi involved picking up women in his car or truck and assaulting them using a hammer and a screwdriver before leaving them for dead. The manhunt for him was one of the largest ever by the [[British]] police force and involved using [[forensic]] techniques that were cutting edge at the time.

The "Ripper" name given to him was attributed to the media covering the manhunt and is a reference to "Jack the Ripper" a historical London killer who also preyed on women.
