The Coronation Street Rapist Dies | Sheffield News
Description
Andrew Davies, the notorious “Coronation Street rapist” who terrorized women across northern England in the 1980s, died at 69 from brain cancer in a Yorkshire prison. Once sentenced to 11 life terms and later linked to more crimes via DNA, he was released in 2023 only to be recalled weeks later for breaching his license — a move that deeply upset survivors. Known for attacking victims in terraced homes, he even shot at police during arrest. While some survivors found solace in his death, others still carry the trauma of his heinous acts. The Prison Service honored his victims, acknowledging the enduring pain his crimes caused.
