 ""English serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, the ""Yorkshire Ripper"", was arrested in Sheffield, ending one of the largest police investigations in British history."" 

 This is a rather ridiculous statement.   Why do you think it takes up to two years to bring murder cases to court ?   A large amount of ""police investigation"",  finding witnesses,  scientific testing of evidence, etc,  occurs after the suspect has been arrested.
