  Kenneth Erskine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kenneth Erskine (born 1962) is an English serial killer who became known as the Stockwell Strangler.
Erskine was sentenced to a minimum term of 40 years imprisonment, but has since been found to be suffering from mental disorder within the meaning of the Mental Health Act 1983, and is therefore now held at Broadmoor Hospital, a maxumum secure hospital.
In February 1996 Erskine was again in the news, this time for preventing the possible murder of Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, by raising the alarm as a fellow inmate at Broadmoor, Paul Wilson, attempted to strangle Sutcliffe with the flex from a pair of stereo headphones.
