Serial killer Peter Sutcliffe has been ordered to undergo the painful operation if he wants to become a Muslim.

Now the 70-year-old is thought to be changing his mind after Islamist prisoners told him it’s the chop – or nothing.

Daily Star Sunday revealed last month that the monster planned to switch religions to stay safe in prison.

The multiple murderer has faced daily death threats since moving from Broadmoor Hospital to HMP Frankland in August.

Sutcliffe hoped that by converting to Islam his fellow Muslim prisoners would protect him.

But the hardline Islamic group inside the prison have demanded Sutcliffe first proves his commitment – by having his foreskin surgically removed.

All Muslim men have the operation within a few weeks of birth. But it is not always mandatory for adult converts to Islam because the surgery can be so painful.

Sutcliffe has been attending daily Islamic prayer meetings, and has been given a copy of the Koran.

He has also stopped eating pork. Insiders said the killer hoped he had done enough to convince Muslim inmates.

One source said: “He was told by his Muslim brothers he could only show he had properly converted to Islam if he was circumcised.

“When he was told that the operation is incredibly painful he went very quiet and very white.

“Sutcliffe asked if there was any alternative but was told there was none.”

Prison sources have told the Daily Star Sunday that the killer had hoped that changing faith would allow him access to a special diet.

In addition, he was told by other Muslims that he would get more time out of his cell and the right to refuse certain types of prison work.

They have also revealed that Sutcliffe told fellow inmates that he murdered 13 women because he was following God’s orders.

He is said to be “holding court” in his prison cell describing the murders in explicit detail to other killers serving life.

Sutcliffe, from Bradford, West Yorks, feared for his life after being sent to Frankland – regarded as one of Britain’s toughest jails.

It is home to serial killers and some of the country’s most violent offenders.

Four years ago, child rapist Mitchell Harrison, 23, was disembowelled by two lags inside the Co Durham unit.

Sutcliffe, convicted in 1981 of murdering 13 women and attempting to kill seven more, lost his fight to remain in Broadmoor secure hospital this summer.

His move to Frankland will save taxpayers about £250,000 a year.
