The Kray twins had a henchman, called the Mad Axeman because of the gruesome things he was prepared to do and actually did. His real name was Frank Mitchell. He was imprisoned for his crimes, in Dartmoor Prison (a place built by Prisoners of the Napoleonic war). He would go out in working parties onto the moors, which are very inhospitable and sparsely populated. In December 1966 he escaped, telling the guard that he was going to feed one of the Dartmoor ponies close-by. The alarm was raised quite a while later and a huge man hunt ensued. At that time I lived (I was very young!) in East Devon and my parents had close friends in Princetown, the tiny town where the prison was. We were going to visit them with gifts and, with the man hunt still underway, were subjected to being stopped and our car searched every few miles of our journey. The silly part was, there were 4 adults and 5 little kids, plus a large dog in the car, so there was no way anyone else would fit in the car! Frank Mitchell had been spirited away by others of "The Firm" who killed him within 14 days and disposed of his body possibly in the English channel or maybe somewhere along the M1, which was under construction at the time!

The scariest thing about Fred and Rose West is that they both displayed disturbing behaviour before even meeting each other so neither was the ringleader - did they perhaps recognise that the other was sick so were attracted to each other?

I believe you're right that the reasons for the number of serial killers falling significantly (in the UK at least) are due to changes in science and policing. It's nothing to do with society somehow being 'nicer' - ie: less abuse in families and relationships since the end of WW2 - as some on here have claimed, since the numbers - and regular news stories - show familial and domestic abuse are still rampant, sadly. There are many stories of parents and step-parents abusing and killing their children today, for example, and those are just the ones we hear about. The difference is that today, killers are often 1) more blatant, and 2) more easily detected, so are more likely to be stopped before their murder count has risen significantly. The chances of going undetected for years are much slimmer now, and it's notable that several of the ones who had been getting away for decades (like The Wests and Harold Shipman) were finally caught in the 1990s, as forensic and policing techniques reached a point where they could prove conclusive. The serial killers that have been caught more recently (like the mentioned 'Crossbow cannibal' in 2009-10, the 'Suffolk strangler' Steven Wright in 2006 and Joanna Dennehy, one of the worst modern female killers in 2013) have killed several victims in a much shorter space of time - days or months - generally showing that it is not possible to evade capture for very long these days once investigators start to use the power of forensics and CCTV in tracking the perpetrator down.

Although some sources say there was a much more gruesome ritual in which the widowed women chose to be burnt alive with their dead husband's body.

Shipman's victims were the elderly. A local taxi driver noticed the numbers of the elderly people he would take regularly to Doctors appointments were dropping and he started to keep a diary. He helped in the investigation of Shipman. Shipman was thought of as a kind man. He'd go out to visit his patients. Some would die after he'd left but as they were considered to be "Under Doctor's Care" at the time of death, there didn't need to be an autopsy/inquest, so he would sign their death certificates. He even organized some of their funerals, choosing cremation to cover up the drug (Morphine, I think) in the deceased's remains. One lady was cremated. Her daughter knew her late mother had always hated the idea of cremation and became suspicious. I think she later found that the late mother had signed over their "estate" to Shipman. That was what he was doing. Making money to feed his drug habit by changing the Wills of elderly people. Hiding under the cover of Kind Old Doctor who will always come out to see you when you're ill.

The amount he would have gained from the fraudulent will was not that much. Some speculate it was an unconscious desire to be caught. The idea of him being a drug addict was from when he was questioned by a medical tribunal over the amount of diamorphine hydrochloride AKA heroin he was getting through to kill his victims. He explained it by saying he was an addict. GPs would not usually get through much as it is mostly used by the terminally ill in a hospital or hospice setting. He got away with it for so long because nobody could believe it of a doctor. Even when they tested the bodies of 7 victims and found massive amounts of diamorphine I still found it hard to believe.

Hi Steve and Lindsay. What changed in the 1980's?? We invented the process of DNA fingerprinting in the 1980's. DNA fingerprinting was first used in forensic science in 1986 when police in the UK requested Dr. Alec J. Jeffreys, of University of Leicester, to verify a suspect's confession that he was responsible for two (crimes deleted for algorithm) . Tests proved that the suspect had not committed the crimes.

I could be wrong on the figures, but I believe it's 50% of the world's scientific breakthroughs and research come from the U.K. 😘

There were multiple possible causes. One was lead. Lead was in paint, in petroleum, and prolonged lead exposure is linked to changes in the brain that can cause anti-social behaviors. We now have unleaded petrol, and lead paint is restricted in its use. And the other is, well, controversial…but abortion being made widely and legally available reduced the number of unwanted babies being born into families that would resent and neglect or abuse them, causing them to develop the mental issues that lead to these kinds of violent urges.

Shipman's victims were all elderly and vulnerable people who trusted him as their doctor. He would administer high doses of painkiller usually diamorphine, he was flagged by a number of people including the coroner who was concerned about the number of cremation forms he was asked to countersign. A local taxi driver also raised concerns in that the amount of seemingly healthy patients he took to hospital later died and were all under Shipman. But typically the police didn't do a very good job of investigating it . The daughter of his last victim, uncovered that he had changed her mothers will so all her money went to him, the solicitor urged her to go to the police which ended in his arrest. Bronson is different as literally all his violent crimes were while he was in prison against guards and other prisoners and prison staff. He has a history of taking hostages in prison, which considering he was initially sent to prison for petty theft and then armed robbery - has through his behaviour in prison, managed to spend pretty much his entire life behind bars.

Fun fact regarding the Yorkshire ripper… during his reign of terror, some tapes were sent into the police station claiming to be the ripper, and this man had a Geordie accent. Well.. both my parents are Geordies, and my dad had black hair, and the same facial hair as the ripper. And they moved to Manchester (not too far from Yorkshire) around the same time the killings began. My dad was questioned as he fit the description. Obviously he wasn’t the killer and those tapes were found to be a hoax. But yeah… my dad was a suspect for a very short period of time. Even his own best friend asked him “if it’s you, you’d tell me right?”

Yorkshire police did a very poor job of investigating the Ripper murders. Sutcliffe was interviewed nine times by police. It was a routine traffic matter that caught Sutcliffe. He was in his car with a woman and asked police if he could have a pee. One of the officers had a hunch something was amiss and went back to the site where Sutcliffe had supposedly had a pee and found a hammer.

West Yorkshire Police were slated for some parts of their investigations, but they cast their nets wide. Barton is about 70 miles away from Leeds / Bradford / W. Yorkshire.

Harold shipman’s patients were usually elderly women with previous heart conditions or something (mostly), he injected them with too much morphine or something. If I remember correctly. Then the son of one of them found it weird and his elderly mother didn’t have any previous issues. So he found it weird and flagged it with police. They started to investigate and found this happened to way more people. Yeah the Krays were twins. They had an older brother, but apparently the mum saw them as miracles and basically ignored her elder son, to show praise to her god sent twins! The older son had light hair and the twins had dark hair and she saw that as meant to be and saw them as angels. One of them got sick in their youth, and it changed the dynamic a bit….you can see countless documentaries/dramas on them. They (psychologists) actually refer (disgustingly enough) to the 80’s as the renaissance of serial killing. I personally don’t think it’s from having a bad childhood or being abused; some people who have both don’t become serial killers. Some neurologists believe some people have a pre-requisite in the brain.

When you say 80s/90s as they heyday for serial killers, it's probably because before then - detection rates just weren't as good/eaasier to go undetected. Amelia Dyer was from my home town. There's several more - the murder or James Bulger "Jamie" - horrible, just vile. The Soham Murders. Whilst not a murderer - or convicted, Sir Jimmy Savile.

My mum said the fear that they all felt when the news spread was overwhelming and she didn't leave the house unless she really had to.

Shipman’s mode of killing seemed to be linked to the fact his Mother took diamorphine when she was dying. The first alarm bells, I seem to recall, were when someone picked up how many of Shipman’a patients died and were being cremated as it was well above average but the investigation went nowhere. He was caught eventually when he arrogantly decided to doctor Kathleen Grundy’s will so that he got everything she owned after he murdered her. Initially seems odd why he broke with his usual MO as money never seemed to be central in his other murders. I’ve got a half formed theory that he got bored with never being close to be being caught and thought he would roll the dice and show he could outsmart the police and show everyone how clever he is.

I think the video they're reacting to was made before Lucy letby was convicted. I follow a couple of YT channels made by women who've served time in jail, they have a few stories about Joanna Denehey

My dada was working as a labourer in London and I used to go with him, in his tipper truck, in the summer holidays and he would drive past Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Cromwell street 🫣 gruesome, aweful things happened in that house.

Shipman specialised in treating old ladies. When he found they had money, he accepted money, stole money, and even was put in their wills to take their money. Then, in the guise of pain relief, he would inject them with lethal doses of several drugs, which would not be unusual in an old, bed-ridden patient's bloodstream. Mostly, he was not even questioned after his patients died, as they were old, sick, and expected to die. Improvements in patient care records eventually tripped him up, and the cases they went back to and checked, proved he'd killed over 200, and perhaps many more. A comedy comic named 'Viz' in Britain like to have occasional comic strips of him: 'It's Doctor Shipman! He makes old ladies dead.'

So I live in Cheltenham which is right next to Gloucester where Fred and Rose West were based. My step dad actually worked with Fred very briefly and had met Rose. He said they were very weird. I also went to school with one of the family descendants. He used to get bullied very badly for it bless him. I hope he's doing okay now.

Paul Britton who was a criminal psychologist in the UK through the 80-' and 90's and had covered some of our most horrific killers. His chapter on Fred and Rose West gave me nightmares I can still recall! If you wanted to know and understand more he has a few great books to read. 'The Jigsaw Man' is his most well known book.
