Did not do well on the charts. No, I remember that. Yeah, as a matter of fact, we were we were banned for three weeks. I

Welcome to the last podcast on the left everyone that's Marcus barks. I'm Ben kiss will we're joined by the very talented Henry Zabrowski as well
today's topic is
Disgusting spooky ookey, but it's about love at the same time
Yeah, Fred and Mary West, okay, we'll say it's about soul mates and
Sometimes, you know, sometimes having a soulmate is a beautiful wonderful thing
Uh-huh, let you know that there's good and kindness in this universe
But sometimes those souls belong to two monsters who should have been put down at very young ages like Ronald and Nancy Ragan
Yeah
Think about me man. Yeah trickle down and of course we're doing Fred and Mary West today
Are Fred and Rose West today? I always call her Mary just sounds better
No, Rose is more appropriate because Rose is more of a prostitute's name. Yes. Yes
But we're doing Fred and Mary or Fred and Rose West today
The reason why we're doing England's most notorious sailor serial killers this week is because we can finally
officially announce that we're gonna be coming to England for a full tour in
late March late March UK look out and we're saying this right now
We're gonna fuck up some names
this episode
But by the time we get to the UK
We will be better at pronouncing names
Yeah, because I don't want to because someone told me that there's a thing called getting glassed. Yes in the UK
Yes, what's that all about? It's exactly what it sounds like what they throw glass at you
No, it means that if you piss somebody off
In the UK and tell tell listeners tell us if we're if I'm right or if I'm wrong
What they'll do is is that they'll wait for you being in the middle of like drinking your beer
And they'll come up up to you and just smash the end of the glass into your face
Yeah, oh, that's classic college stuff. I can deal with that
Yeah, so let's yeah, we're gonna. We're gonna start off on
The 23rd of March in Cardiff, then we're going to Birmingham. We're gonna do the Glasgow comedy festival
We're gonna play Salford, which is in Manchester Salford
And then we're gonna end the whole thing up in London on Friday the 27th
The tickets go on sale on Friday. All right, well, it's gonna be a great show. All right
Let's in Salford is the first place that Paul McCartney ever had a chicken wing. I've actually heard that story
That's a fun fact. I believe lots of fun facts
I believe that's entirely true as a matter of fact at that chicken wing restaurant. That's where Ringo was working
So that's where he
Back there now he's back there now having a great time telling everybody that he still did. Yep. He's still the shitty beetle
Yeah, you want to get I've got teriyaki
They let me know my own flavors this one's called octopus is gone. It's like fucking squid
Oh, I love octopus is garden. That's my favorite kind of chicken wing. All right. Let's get the friend
Rose West. Oh, and you can go to gigs and tours comm to buy tickets for the last podcast on the left
So before we before we begin this this episode. Well, you know what I'd say, you know, if you've got a daughter
Don't touch her. No, leave. I mean
Leave Malone and really if you've got a son, don't touch him. Don't touch kids
For a day for a day after you listen to this episode. Just don't even look at your kid
All right, let him let him just kind of sit in their own juices for a while. They don't need too much more meddling. They're fine
so Fred and Rose West between 1967 and
1987 West alone and later with his second wife Rose Mary West
tortured and raped
numerous young girls
murdering at least 11
including a couple of their own
Family members and the crimes often occurred in the couple's homes in the city of Gloucester at
25 Midland Road
But most of the murders took place in the most infamous address in England
25 Cromwell Street
I did you ever see have you seen pictures of the address sign of 25 Cromwell Street? No, it just made of bones
It looks like it fell off a like an HR a Huff and puff whatever show
It's just like it's all like big doodly writings like I guess was like common in England in the 70s. Let's see it
Um, oh, it looks far too far too friendly for what happened there. I think I'm just I can't get a date off a tinder
And this man was married twice. Yeah, that's upsetting. Did you see the women that he was married to?
Were they women or were they men? They were women
Yes, they were women. Let's start with the early life
I will put it this way Rose West was kind of attractive in like
Been hit in the head with a frying pan eating up them at bangers and mash kind of way
Yeah, she was a prostitute people paid to have sex with her and Fred just got it for free
All right, so Fred West let's start with the early life of this guys
We usually do with the heavy hitters. He was hey, uh, just yeah, don't eat lunch
If you're eating food, just stop eating food right now, please this is gonna get really really bad
This is among the most disturbing that we've ever covered if not the most disturbing heavy hitter
He was born in the small rural village of much Markle in bad nature
They're all bad names. They never Fred West never lived in a place that had a good name. They're all awful fucking names
Yeah, they all just sound like candies
Yeah
They don't have the fun American names like pleasant point or just like place to be no
They've got names like Coat Bridge and Lanarkshire. Yeah
So he was born in much Markle in Hertfordshire in 1941
That's 120 miles from London. His father Walter was a cow man and
And was made as a cow man. It's a cow like a cowboy. He raised cows. Oh, but but he's a rapist
Yeah, that's why he's a cow man. Yes, that's implied. You're giving my band a very bad name here
This was oh, this is an opportunity for you for you to plug your band the cow man album out in March
That's great never never miss an opportunity even when you're talking about the father of a man who raped and murdered countless women
Yeah, he was many years older than his wife Daisy
She was just 16 when they married and was a lifelong morbidly obese woman
Daisy is not a name for a person. It's the name for an animal. I agree
Daisy's a terrible name for a gale unless your name is Daisy out there and you're listening. I think you're beautiful
So Fred he was the second of six children
That Daisy and Walter would have over the short span of ten years
It was one after another with these people and never stopped
Later on in life Fred would routinely rape one of his sisters with his brother John and their father
Well, and this is this right here. This is important to remember Fred says that he impregnated his sister
But as we'll see with Fred West pathological liar
So anything any information that we get from Fred West should always be taken with a grain of salt
But he did definitely rape and kill 13 people if not more 13 at least, but it's kind of fun
It's like what it Fred and his father. They're sort of like the Manning family, you know, the pain manning Eli
Eli Manning already Manning. Oh got the DNA. You've got the training, right? You're all raping your sister
Just like the Mannings
So the West they grew up very secluded they rarely mixed with outsiders like which is so weird because they seem real
I know
Don't they with their shoes and having sex with all the animals. So of course this environment
I Fred saw incest and rape. He grew up seeing incest and rape as something that was normal
Like this was what he was isolated from everybody else
He quit school at the age of 15 because he was a bit of a dullard
Couldn't read couldn't write very charming guy though had definitely had the gift of gab
I don't know they say that about so many serial killers
And I feel like that's just way overblown because their crimes are so heinous and then they'll be like but in reality
He would grunt. No, it's because it's because he does it
It's because it's like when you meet Fred West you expect and be like
Hey, would you come in you got my code you fucking bitch and like it's when you meet him and he's just like hello
Like oh look at that
Think how charming he is are you gonna treat all the people in the UK like gnomes?
Is that your plan Henry? Oh look at them like that is a that's our cab driver
I've said this before I believe that British women are absolutely gorgeous and their men are very smart
I've heard you say it before and I just heard you say it again
So Fred in addition to raping his sister
He took the incest even further losing his virginity to his mother at the age of 12
Thank God, but that's not on Fred. That's on Daisy. Don't don't give Fred that one
I'm not taking two to tango man. He was 12. I'm not gonna. Yeah, I'm not
Giving that to Daisy, but it definitely let it definitely left a bit of a mark on
A little put it this way Daisy was the Jordan in that scenario Fred was the Scotty Pippin sure sure
And of course the mother Fred was her favorite little boy
And she was sucking his dick. Yeah, I don't know if my yeah, how mom has chosen favorites
I'll just as a that's just a fact toy that everybody should know bye. She's sucking your brother's dick, right?
He's the favorite. Maybe it's best not to be the favorite
If you want to be president right
Though of course
His mother would go up to school and constantly defend every little act that Fred did and he gained the reputation for being a mama's boy
But the other thing that he gained a reputation for was hard core bestiality
And that was a skilting guy charming. What a charming guy
And
He actually gained all of his knowledge of bestiality from his father his father told him Henry
Do you do you want to take how his father instructed him the best way to take a sheep?
If you're slipper sheets are in legs under your boots, it can't run away
Thanks dad thanks dad and when these are the conversations, you know daddy
These are the conversations that a kid can't forget. I like I like that time you said hey, why don't we go rape your sister?
Right, I mean
It's funny to me in a way because he's actually making his father and his mother very proud with his actions, isn't he?
Well, we never I mean up to this point up to this point and we'll see later how they bafflingly
Find a reason to disown him but until then
But until then he's still the pride of the family and his father had a very simple philosophy
That Fred would carry with him for his entire fucking life
And this is a terrible philosophy to give to a psychotic child
He said do whatever you want. Just don't get caught doing it. You see it's a simple philosophy
It's very simple. Yeah, it's very very simple
But in the hands of a psychopath it turns into rape and murder for at least 13 women
And Fred he idolized his dad. He looked up to him. He thought that his dad was the fucking bees knees
He's the man who has all the answers. He taught me how to fuck sheep
He taught me how to fuck my sister
He lets me fuck my mom and he thought that his mother home different moon
Also, what's interesting too is how this is different from any other heavy-header. We've really covered is that he had a strong
Relationship with his father. Yeah, that like yeah, this is literally pinion dog
And it's mostly it's a rebellion mostly. It's like a rebellion from the parents
So this is why I act this way or like because they treated them terribly. This was it's like they were fucking pals
Yeah, he taught him like you basically he became an apprentice to a guy who was everything but a serial killer
Right, right. Yeah, as far as we know or you have like a Dahmer's dad where he was just like there. Well, I just didn't know I
Didn't know what he was doing back there, but it mostly I I heard I heard some yow-ing
I thought he wanted to be a bit. I am not sure. It's true. I think that yeah, that is true
So like many other serial killers Fred West suffered from a very serious head injury at a young age
He crashed his motorcycle head-on into a car that was traveling in the other directions
He spent a week in a coma
His broken leg that the leg that he broke in the accident would be permanently shorter than the other which caused him to limp for
the rest of his life and
That was just him just driving going like seeing the truck coming. It's going like yeah, get out of the way
Quite possibly and he had a metal plate that was inserted into his head and Fred
He already was had inherited
Obvious mental problems from his parents his parents were not sane people
but that combined with a fucking twisted and bizarre childhood environment and
Serious frontal cortex injuries really brought everything together to make this guy the perfect fucking killer now
We've seen with frontal cortex injuries before the frontal cortex
Gacy had it. I believe a Bundy had it. This is where the conscience lives
Like where the things that would make all of us say fuck. No, I'm not gonna do that
That's repulsive these people don't have that. What's a good thing James Dean died in that crash
Otherwise he would have came out a serial killer
but
What I also think is interesting too is I like this concept that the idea that the frontal lobe may be where
The antenna is that connects us to the collective unconscious. Yeah, that's my theory. I like this idea
I guess I do a lot because it's they it's
You can see how that will affect empathetic idea like it basically it's like you you got
Lot knocked off the Wi-Fi and now you have to look at porn. That's on your computer
Which is you just draw on boobies on MS paints. I mean, that's not necessarily how I'd put forth my theory
Yes, I do believe that the
the the connection to the collective unconsciousness of humanity does live in the frontal cortex of our brain and then once that is
Severed then guilt is essentially gone. Not everyone necessarily becomes a serial killer. Some people become CEOs
Sure, some people become the shitty person
People become podcast comedians. Oh, yeah, I did have a frontal cortex injury as a child
I used to do some results into the corner of my wall
I swear to God I did and then I would also have hammer Tuesdays where I just hit my head in the hit my head with a hammer on Tuesdays
So after this accident Fred, of course was suddenly prone to extreme fits of rage
He become extremely violent over extremely mundane things, but okay, so at this point when he gets really angry
He has a one leg is shorter than the other. Yeah, the metal plate in his head, right? Yeah, so that's funny
Like would you see a dude with one short leg and be like, yeah, yeah punch me in the side of the head
That's the metal side. I don't care like that's funny. Yeah, that is really funny
Yeah, but after that accident, it wasn't the only headed serious head injury that Fred ever had after that
He tried to stick his hand up the skirt of a girl while they were both on the fire escape
She pushed him off and Fred landed head first onto the concrete and that knocked him out
This is my thing
I don't think a rape related injury can technically add to the serial killer thing
Because I think just the act of trying to rape her. I mean that's more of it
But he became he was on that he was just regularly trying to rape women at this point because in his mind
Right had been fused that sex equals control and domination and he's also much more aggressive now
So whatever he and he's also got his father's
Wisdom of if it feels good do it just don't get caught all these things together
He just if he wants a woman, he will take her. He will take whatever he wants
Right never mind the fact that his many injuries made him look like a fucking like you look like Herman monster
Oh, yeah, he was just slowly devolving into the monster that the creature he would become yeah
He's got it. He's got a limp. He's got a plate his head his head is like a cylinder
So fucked up over and over again. He probably said
Yeah, hey, I don't have my leg question or I'm gonna grab your knees little girl
Like he starts doing that over and over again. It's gonna be hard for him to work in retail
It's gonna be hard for him to do fun stuff. Welcome to forever 21. I'm from West
It's very he didn't have a lot going for him
No, he didn't and of course like many other serial killers. He was also a petty thief
But what I mentioned earlier about the bizarre thing that made his family disown him at 19
He was forced out of his village in which he grew up for impregnating a 13-year-old girl
And instead and of course this also shows you his fucked up way of thinking instead of responding with just guilt or remorse or anything
Like that when they asked him like why the why did you do this? Why did you fuck a 13-year-old girl?
He just said doesn't everybody do it. I mean, that's how confused he was but that's really what he thought
That's exactly what he thought so but this 13-year-old was outside of the family, right? Yes
So the I think his parents good
It's a step in the right direction I will say I suppose so for his parents
Maybe they felt like he was blowing their cover
Maybe he's just like what are you doing having sex with other people outside of the family?
We have sex inside the family. Yeah, you know very cultish. I guess so
And at his trial a doctor actually testified
That West much like John Wayne Gacy suffered from epileptic fits. Okay, that's what we saw again and again gatesy
And what I actually research in this
Fred West is the straight John Wayne Gacy. Yes. Yeah, he really honestly very similar careers construction worker
Just no clown. That's a problem. He doesn't have that pop. He doesn't have an American
Style like we have yeah, he had no style. No, he's a different character in the sideshow of serial killers
That's for sure. He's a different character, but he's in the same ten as Gacy. He's the he's the Yosemite Sam
Serial killers
Kicking his tiny leg
That would be so Gacy doing the clown tricks and then you have Fred West just being all limpy and gimpy and then like and watch
Mr. Dahmer eat a penis
That'd be the best side show ever. There's one thing that a psychiatrist said who said a psychiatrist who studied Fred West
he said about him that was different from other
serial killers is
Fred West approached the entire thing with extreme enthusiasm
But with
Enthusiasm and glee a lot of guys, you know, they kind of look at it as oh my this is a thing that I have to do
Right, I can't you know, but yeah, Jeffrey Dahmer was tortured John Wayne Gacy was hiding a secret
Uh-huh like Ted, but I mean Ted Bundy didn't do it with enthusiasm. He was just a fucking a ripper or a maniac
Well, I think by the Florida State that rampage. I think was very I would argue
Enthusiastic 15 minutes for girls with a log, but yeah, what's just more like I'd say he left it all on the dance floor
You could use that analogy. Yeah, Fred West he would approach it with just a glee. I think he's the only one who said woo-hoo
Yeah, while he was raping somebody and speaking of glee we'll be playing the Cardiff glee club
Oh March 23rd 20 15 come on out tickets go on sale Friday
So after he had been disowned Fred moved back to much Markle with his aunt violet and yeah
Much Markle so did the parents of his mother just name everything after the flowers they saw
They fly violet now. You're just mud because we don't find no flower. Yeah, we got daisies. We got violets
We got roses. This is a
Flower filled podcast. It's very yeah very floral
So it was at this time that he reconnected with an old girlfriend a girl named Catherine Costello
But her prostitute name was Rena
Oh, nothing like up having sex with arena in an hour-long stay at a motel. Oh my god
Reena, I want to marry you
Well, maybe that's what he loves about her
The two married and moved to the village of Coat Bridge and Lanarkshire
That's the worst names
Lanarkshire, you know what also every England town sounds like a name for a sauce like a brown condiment
Yeah, it sounds pretty tasty now that I think about it. So Rena. She was already five months pregnant with her first daughter
Charmaine. Oh, and what a lucky daughter. She's gonna be
Beautiful beautiful name Charmaine. Yeah, she was fathered by a Pakistani bus driver who skedaddled
He didn't stick around. He didn't stick around. He didn't stick around. He didn't see Rena and Charmaine even a little family
I'm sorry, Rena. I never meant to I never meant to make love to you even once I was trying to finish my route
Please if you could just if you could just let let me go. Let me go. I have I have nine families
So Fred would actually take Charmaine as his own in addition to fathering his own child with
with Rena named Anne Marie and Fred's parents
This is bizarre Fred's parents thought that Charmaine that the child belonged to Fred rather than the Pakistani bus driver
So when the wait what yeah wait, okay?
So but that's they Fred told them that while Rena was pregnant
He said like okay, she's pregnant with my baby
So when the baby came out a little brown and a half Pakistani
Fred just wrote a letter to his parents told them that the child died in childbirth and to replace that child
They adopted a mixed-race kid. Ah
That is just it's a bad lie
Well, they believed it. God, it doesn't make a lot of sense, but yeah, it seems to work
There is not a single smart person involved
So in Coatbridge Fred worked as an ice cream truck driver. Oh, that is creepy. Yeah, that's sort of a gate
That's a little gasey-ish. Yeah
Yeah, we had an ice cream truck driver in the town that I grew up in drink buttermilk straight from the carton in the middle
Of a Texas summer
It was the farts must have filled that ice cream truck
Oh, him just come up it's a little girl. So it's got the selling ice cream. Just been a little girl
Hey, you want some skittles on there? I'll rub my pubes on it
After this podcast and everything else, I don't think I can have a kid anymore like
Everything's ruined. Is there anything innocent anymore? Mr. Rogers. Mr. Roger. That's it. Mr. Rogers neighborhood never be
Dead Marcus. He's fucking dead. Good. He died with a clean name. He did
So is that what all life is now is it just getting out clean? I think it is. Yeah, that's all there is Henry
I mean, that's all we have anymore after 70. You're guaranteed to get brought down by something. Yeah
So as Fred was working as an ice cream truck driver, which gave him access to numerous teenage girls
All over Coatbridge, of course, he did have an accident here
This is the very first time that blood was ever on his hands
He ran over and killed a four-year-old boy with his van in 1964
The the the the the accident was ruled
And you know in Fred's favor
Yeah, the boy
Though in Coatbridge, you can claim that he was trying to make him a speed bump
And then you get off scot-free because technically you're a civil engineer then oh very good
So Fred being a little paranoid decided it was time to skip town leave Coatbridge
Yeah, and they went to the neighboring town Lollipop town
Nope, this is right next to which is right next to boot building
Nope Fred and his family their nanny and a friend of Rena's named and McFall moved to bishops cleave
in
Gloucester
So this it just sounds like the top of a pre-sass
Yeah, the bishops cleave, but they had a nanny
I mean he must have had some income coming through here with the ice cream gig and whatnot. He was a thief
He was just a thief
Enough to have a nanny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, thief enough to have a nanny
All right. Yeah, and this was in Gloucester where they would eventually settle at 25 Cromwell Street
But that's gonna come later Fred got a actually got a job at a slaughterhouse here, which this job is
Extremely important to what Fred would do later on this guy Colin Wilson wrote this book called the corpse garden
He said one thing is clear that at some stage West developed a morbid obsession with corpses and blood and dismemberment
Yeah, there is no evidence that he had shown any interest
So any such interest so far it seems then that Fred West's sexual perversion became slowly more obsessive in the period following
His marriage and the evidence suggests that necrophilia and desired immutal like corpses began during his period as a butcher
I would have loved to see the interview with him going into the slaughterhouse for the job
I think I was like thank God you showed up a bunch of people in business suits with like two working legs have been coming in an
Interview in this entire goddamn time. I can't hire that scum. You got the metal plate. You got the limp. You're hired, Mr. West
I'm built for this joke. I'd like to see the ribs and I'll pry with them like
And that's just good for morale. Yeah, can you work on three shifts? That'd be great three shifts in a row
You know what also too is that you can see the direct
You can see the direct line of logic to where it's like he wanted sex to be easier
He you get to a point where they build a sort of superiority complex if I could take anything I want anybody I want
Mm-hmm as soon as he starts beating this the slaughterhouse
And he starts rubbing his dick one time on like a slab of fucking hamburger meat that they all ate in their fucking shepherds pie
three weeks later
he
Realized like this is the easiest way is these debt is dead people and if you don't give a fuck where your dick's going like you've
Taught your dick to have sex with like ducks and shit. Yeah, you can you can fuck a corpse
Oh, I would almost argue a corpse is better than having sex with a duck if you have to choose
Well, it's a that's a toss-up. Oh, I want to isolate that sentence
No, and I want to isolate that sentence that I want to just send it to every person you've ever worked with
Oh, so Fred, you know as Henry said his the sexual demands became much more depraved much more sadistic
Violent oral sex bondage sodomy. He wanted it all hours of the day or night
So Rena and her nanny having not been able to take it anymore
They escaped out to Scotland, but they left the children Charmaine and Anne Marie
Uh behind with Fred and Rena's 16 year old friend and McFall who had somehow become infatuated with Fred West God knows
God knows weird and so the four moved into a trailer and McFall started taking care of Charmaine
And Annie and Rena who was missing her children
She went back to bishops cleave and she told Constable Hazel savage who will become very important later on in the story that her
Husband, Hazel savage Constable Hazel savage. She told her that her husband was a sex pervert and unfit to raise the children
And of course, you know, maybe not so coincidentally
There were eight sexual assaults committed in the Gloucester area by a man of Fred's description at this time
How many men are of Fred's description? It's England a lot. They're very very smart
It's the one guy with the metal in his head and the gimpy foot. No, but how many of them have that?
They've all worked horrible factory job. Yeah, all look the same
He's got it the back of his head is bigger than the front of his head. It's just you can see the steps
It's like, you know those old 70s living room where you could step from the top
You step like three steps down into a lower living room. Yeah, that's the movement from the back of his head
It's true. He's got a horrible horrible head
But despite having a terrible head he still managed to impregnate
Miss McFall in late 1966 she start med McFall started a pressure West to divorce Rina more and more over the years
And so West who was cracking under the pressure
murdered
and McFall when she was eight months pregnant
Okay, this is when it really starts to get brutal. He cut the eight month old fetus out of Ann's body
He decapitated her and he removed all of her fingers and toes and her kneecaps
Before burying her near the trailer park where they once lived together
She was the first one killed and the last one to be discovered, but that also fits with his original reasoning
Which is he cut the fetus out?
I mean number one because you can play handball with it, but number two
So that when they found the body they wouldn't he would it's this weird thing again where his validation was
I don't want anybody to know I was screwing around on my wife. Yeah
Right because that's what they hits his daddy's rule
You could do anything you want as long as nobody knows about it. Yeah as long as no one gets caught
And the fingers toes and kneecaps thing that would be Fred's
Mo for almost every murders that would come afterwards. Well, he was doing a lot of fun Tim Burton type things with player pianos
Just gluing them to the keys. Yeah, no, I guess the slaughterhouse kind of taught him how to pop an e-cap real quick. Yeah
Yeah, perfect training. Yes, it really was
And this guy is the bow Jackson of UK serial killers, right, right?
Yeah, and you know at this time he's it said that he probably killed a girl named Mary Bastholm
Who he kidnapped from a bus stop they used to get a lot of girls from bus stops
But in Fred's mother died in February of 1968 from complications of gallbladder surgery
That sent Fred to a bit of a theft spree. He didn't really know how to handle it
So he stole quite a bit that was his coping mechanism, which caused him to switch jobs with fair frequency
But it was while he was employed as a delivery driver for a bakery where he would finally meet
Rosemary let's how does this mean he has so many women and so many jobs?
I mean it's a gap the gift again. Yeah, I just can't believe he was that charming
He talked his way out of a sexual assault charge later on we'll get to Fred and Rosemary West's first big day out
It is awful. It's terrible. All right, but we'll know I imagine he sees her and it's that whole like that
Well, he's got two croissants around his balls like we're like playing with look at her staring at her playing with him like
He's balls. Meanwhile, she's fucking sucking on a fork like it's a dick
Yeah, well Rose was born in barn staple
It's a fine name barn staple. It's good. There's a barn and then maybe there was one person who had a staple once and he became the mayor
We are lucky to say we are the first town to have a pig as mayor
That's good. A pig as a mayor is a fantastic mayor progressive
She was born on November 29th, 1953
So 12 years younger than Fred 12 years younger and this is very strange. Her mother was also named Daisy
No, not the most creative naming mechanism they have over here. I suppose not
But Daisy this Daisy was she suffered from severe depression and while she was pregnant with Rose
She underwent regular electroshock therapy treatments while she was pregnant with this girl that cannot be healthy for a child
It can be healthy for a baby unless you want to create a super hero. It poaches the baby. Yeah
And of course when Rose was born she had many problems
She had a habit of rocking herself back and forth when she was put in a pram
Which is what the pram prams are they called baby carriage?
So if she was put in a pram without the break-on she would rock so violently
That the pram would creep across the room. I think that's terrifying. Yeah, that's very scary
Yeah, and as she became a little older
She only rocked her head back and forth, but she would do it for hours on end
Which was the first indications that she was in her family words quote a bit slow
Her nickname was dosy rosy. Well, she'd be faster if you took the break off the damn thing
and
As she went from a baby to a taller to a little girl
She just swing her head around swing her head around for hours on it
And it would just hypnotize herself into
Semi-consciousness did they all did they ever think she was possessed?
No, no, they never did they just thought she's a little slow dosy rosy. Just leave her alone
The technical it there's a there's a British. There's a doctor's come and look at it and they call you um
She was a doidoy
Doidoy doidoy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that is doidoy do it. Yeah round and round and round
So bill let's her father
He had his own problems. He was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic
He suffered from OCD. He had a life of rigidity. He was a Navy man
So everything had to be exact everything had to happen on time
And if the house was just a little bit dirty if he didn't get dinner exactly when we wanted it
He would have he would beat his wife and kids viciously, but rose who?
Despite being dosy rosy
Was still cunning when it came to men and how to manipulate how did she escape the beatings Marcus?
Oh, do you really want to know Henry? How did she how did she get out of it? If everybody else is getting beat
I would just assume she just kept on moving her head suit too fast for him to hit it
So she pulled a she pulled a rope it though. She was roped open. No, she fucked her father
Unlike that's a good story different kind of strategy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think the baron scene bears did that thing
He said the baron scene bears and the time when the daughter sucked up the father's penis
So that the heat they wouldn't get beat for a burning dinner. I
Remember that one and it really it taught me a lot of different lessons. Her name. I really wish they what's really weird
Is you remember how it was all in black and white except for the red of the blood on them on the mother bear's face?
Yeah, they pulled that issue. I think they pulled that one after a little
Not many of those anymore not too many are left. No, well
Well, both of them had regular sexual relationships with their parents
unlike Fred
Who would end his you know sexual relationship with his mother presumably when he left home?
roses sexual relationship with her father would continue up
Until his death
Well into her and Fred's relationship, and it is also said you think he was just as surprised
No, he knew you'll just be like
You know rose at some point you've got to leave the nest
You can't keep up you gotta cut the imbecile boat cord rose believe me. I love the blowjobs
You gotta leave the house every once in a while
I mean you have to have your daughter go and spread her wings and have her suck other dicks. Yeah
Yeah, well, yeah, so we'll get more into what happened with them later
But rose she was only 15 when she met Fred who was 27 at the time and it was like Henry said
It's like the theme from a summer place started playing
They locked eyes and fell love almost immediately. They did have a lot in common a surprising amount
They had a huge amount and they had so much in common. It's scary. That's why you fucked your mom. That's so weird
Yeah, that's one of the reasons why these people are so scary is because they have such similar backgrounds
They happen to meet each other and it was just the perfect formula for an extreme
And that's another thing that that will come up later is that they had to keep topping each other
They had to keep one step ahead of the other and rose especially had to keep one step ahead of Fred
To keep Fred from eventually turning his murderous impulses on her
But they definitely they had to up the ante constantly
I'm gonna say not that difficult to stay one one step ahead of Fred
He had one very very short leg and then one longer one, but I will put also this way too
It's just like what that is just a very evil scenario. That is just the worst type
Oh
Man, I love to hear it. Oh, yeah, so not long into the relationship Fred was sent to prison for a petty theft charge
But rose she was already fully committed
She left the house at the age of 16 to take care of Fred's children Charmaine and Emery and while Fred was in prison
Rose gave birth to their first child
Heather
Although it is rumored it is very possible that Heather is actually
Rose's father's child
Yeah, because of the prison sentence because Fred was right in prison as you kept fucking her dad
It's yeah, yeah, yeah with that old 70s sitcom was about all in the family
Some motherhood of course didn't surprisingly enough didn't come naturally
To Rose West. She was quoted as saying Henry take this one
Bresser for fucking not breastfeeding beautiful woman
Yeah, sort of a tit job there, I guess you know and now that they had their own child Fred and Rose
There was of course the matter of the other two children one of them and Marie was Fred's actual flesh and blood
But Charmaine
She was just the bastard of a bus driver who had no real relation to Fred or Rose
And we'll say probably the smartest one. I'm sure definitely one you
The most nervous one
So during the summer of 1971
Rose in a fit of rage which she was prone to to go into she took a beating on Charmaine a little too far and
Ended up murdering the eight-year-old shortly before Fred was released from prison
And once Fred returned he removed the fingers the toes and the kneecaps and he buried her underneath the floorboards of their house
And when Rena came looking for the child in the fall of 71
Fred took action himself this time. He got Rena drunk. He strangled her
He removed the fingers and toes and kneecaps
He dismembered her and buried her near his first inconvenience and McFall
But the pair would soon move into their very own graveyard at the most infamous address in England
25 Cromwell Street
Interviews with Fred he talks about how like he originally did not find it easy to dismember the bodies
But what he would do but the way he said it's like it just sounded like a lie anyway because it was like I looked around for a
way to sort of I needed to
Separate the limbs and I'd look at the X and I was like, oh no way I could not I could not put an axe to a woman's body
Yeah
But I had this long serrated blade that I'd used to cut chunks of ice and I thought that I could use that a woman's body
mm-hmm
Really weird standards cutting off the toes and the kneecaps and the fingers and then was he planting them in the ground?
Just trying to make some really weird trees or something
We have we have no idea what he did with them and they've never been found they've never been found
We have no idea where he put him where he hit him what he eventually did with them
He never when he confessed to the murders. He never once said what?
They were fought what he was doing it for why yeah, we have no clue
It was just part of his ritual and but he had been doing he just would keep them in his car
So after a big meal he could like pick his teeth with them
I
Mean I had a couple of badger paws from a badger. I'd killed hanging around a piece of wire off of my you're disgusting
Right these are these rear view mirror little things that we should all remember those are red flags
That's a Marcus Park's red flag moment
So 25 Cromwell Street this place was
Hey, my name is Marcus. You want to see my badger paws? I'd love to not go to your house ever again
No, if you were riding in my truck you saw the badger paws
It was a single cab. They're right there. You can't help you couldn't help but look at him
Right, I didn't date a lot in that period in high school. Oh, no, you didn't huh weird. That's weird
I can't believe that Rebecca there the prettiest girl in town didn't love your badger paw collection
No, her name was Michelle and she did not appreciate
Oh, honey, so do you think we should just put Marcus down now or should we wait until he gets real dumb?
No, I'm later honey. He's exactly like I was I was better
Anyways, this place was perfect for the West family large enough to house the seven children that rose would eventually give birth to
By the way, only four of those were Fred's the other three were fathered by John's and we knew they were John's
Because Rose they were brown. They were brown Rose
exclusively dealt with the West Indian crowd
Jamaicans
You know mm-hmm Jamaicans people from Haitians
Yeah, dealt exclusively in the big black fellas. She was a very elite prostitute that that's what that means
She was only doing the most high-end clientele
Well, Fred was obsessed with watching her. Yeah, that was the whole thing. I said he was upset because he built that roses room
Mm-hmm, which was which is really fucked up
They were talking about the police investigation when they found it because when they first he kept the way you when he basically Fred confessed
Well, we'll get into when he confessed to a bunch of these murders
He they all said it was because of like manslaughter and it was because he had gotten heated
It was a crime of passion when they showed up and they saw this room was had like a padded bed on the floor
or
Weird for sound and video. They're like what the fuck is going on here
And then they found stacks of videotapes of Rose having sex with with John
Oh, it was all wired with sound and video. Yeah, and it had and had peepholes in different walls
So Fred could look in and watch her fucking the dudes because he was
Obsessed with watching a Jamaican dude just stuff or fucking holes, huh? It's like that movie porkies
Yeah, and all the kids watch the girls in the shower. It's a lot like porkies except for all the rape. Yeah, yeah
Yeah, porkies was just full of fun pranks. Porkies was a part of rape culture. So think about that hashtag it oh
And there was also
Roses room courts where she took all the John's there was a red light outside
So her children knew that her mother was quote-unquote working
But it would be the basement that Fred would turn most of his attention to and he even once joked to a neighbor
That he was soundproofing the basement to turn it into his own private torture chamber
into a torture chamber
I'm not joking
He is funny real. This is real. I am doing it. That is
down here
Great. Oh my god British humor. We were talking yesterday
Yeah with the book with the tour manager for our UK tour and then we're talking about Jimmy save ill Savile
I'm not changing it for nobody
Talking about he how he used to just joke about having sex with underage girls and they would just laugh and laugh and be like
That is just classic comedy. Yeah, that's classic Savile. He's just amazing
And it's I guess it's the same kind of deadpan humor that made people right off West when he would
openly joke about murdering people right and because he locally it's like he was they were known as like a nice
But eccentric couple. Yeah, that's what everyone was saying like so
Can you imagine what the eccentric was was basically just him just being like it's not like I'm gonna ripa
And then they're like waiting for the laugh on the other end, right?
And it's like I don't like your catchphrase Fred, but
So the first victim to see the inside was Fred and roses eight of Fred's eight-year-old daughter
And Marie from his first marriage he and Rose undressed her and told her that she was lucky that she had such caring parents
Who were making sure that when she got married she would be able to satisfy her husband?
Emery's hands were tied behind her and a gag was put in her mouth
Then while Rose held the girl down her father raped her the pain was so severe that the girl could not go to school for several days
snow day
God help me
Can you remember the movies snow day? Oh, yeah, I remember the scene in it. Yeah
If it was like that instead, that would be better for her
Yeah, that would be a better life instead of the decade of rape and torture that she would endure at 25 Cromwell Street
It's fine. It turns out she became a singing sensation known as Kesha
And so in their very first baby
Sitter yeah now in November of 1972 we've got Caroline Owens the first babysitter that the the West would
Torture torture torture. They didn't actually kill this one. This was their practice run
Let's say this is that this was their dry run
They picked up 17 year old Carolyn Owens while hitchhiking. She was hitchhiking from
Tewkesbury to her home in Senderford and she was picked up by Fred and Rose who told her
While she was driving the coincidence like hey, we're looking for a nanny for our three kids. We just had a kid
Her name is Mae West
Which that's terrible
And so Carolyn who had strangely enough dreamed of becoming a nanny all in past years
She wanted interpin also wanted independence from family
She accepted and moved in with the West almost immediately and of course the first sign that something was weird
She saw this steady stream of men coming and going from Rose's bedroom, but Rose said oh, no, it's fine
I'm just a masseuse, but the problem is is that you could never take someone's word that they're a masseuse if they're like
I'm a masseuse wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink
It was really weird that she then she told me she was a masseuse and she winked for seven minutes
Another weird thing Fred would offer her abortions on demand
Yeah, say that not only was he extremely well-equipped to do so
But other women in which he to perform this service were so impressed with his abortion skills
That they repaid him with sexual favors. Nothing makes a woman more excited for sex than just having an abortion
Yeah, it's I mean that's sort of like hmm
I'm gonna repay you with the exact same thing that got me into this mess the big thing too
But then again, they kept putting she was kind of like
They didn't really get scared by this talk because he had a really weird sense of humor
This is these were the jokes. I guess that's the problem is that they all thought that these were jokes. Yeah, he was just actually an
Open psychopath. Yeah, he even casually mentioned that her his eight-year-old daughter Annemarie had just lost her virginity
Yeah, just casually mentioned that and but what made her eventually run the first time
Was that he propositioned her for sex?
He said that her and wrote him and Rose were a part of a sex circle with other men
Mm-hmm, and so he's like, yeah, come on. Why don't you join it? And so she left the house for some reason
That was the last straw for but two months later the West found her at a bus stop Rose apologized for her husband's crude behavior
and Carolyn climbed right back into the fucking car and
Went with the West right right and minutes later minutes after she got into the car
Uh Fred of course proposition her for sex again, and when she refused he said
Go on Rose have a feel and see if she's wet
Yeah, and Rose pushed her hand down into Carolyn's crotch the two started fighting
Fred pulled over to the side of the road punched Carolyn until she was unconscious
And when Carolyn woke up her hands were tied behind her back with her scarf
Her mouth was covered with packing tape and she was taken into 25 Cromwell Street where she would be sexually and
Psychologically abused for the next 12 hours now
This is something this is his MO that he will do with each one of these victims
When they say when they recovered a lot of these victims even after years of like years of decomposition
They would find the remnants of packing tape from when he would wrap it all around their heads
But later on he would stick tubes up their nose so they could breathe through the packing tape
Yeah, they beat her with a belt and Rose
Abused her as Fred took Rose from behind
Fred told her that if she didn't do what she wanted he said
I'll keep you in the cellar and let my black friends have you and when we're finished
We'll kill you and bury under the paving stones of Gloucester, so he really used her racism against her
No, not the black friends anything but the black friends, but after Rose left
Let this girl alone with Fred Fred started crying and told her that if she promised to not tell anybody
Keep it our little secret he'd let her go so her this girl Carolyn terrified
She actually promised to return to become their nanny again. It's like oh, yeah by guns
Let's put that by guns be my water under the bridge
But she only went to the police after her mother saw the bruises and even though Fred and Rose have both
Played guilty to sexual assault and kidnapping
Carolyn was too frightened to testify so the two were only fine. They were caught with this
They were caught dead to fucking rights right with all this
They were fined fifty dollars each for indecent assault and were let loose upon the world once you know
And this is also again. We're gonna see this a lot too word. They every time they get caught. They're like yeah, we did it
Yeah
And what's a decent assault in decent? No, what's decent?
What's a decent one just using your fist man? That's pretty decent assault. That's a twenty five dollars fine stand up boxing
Or it's it's killing a Japanese person during World War two right right
So of course this taught him two lessons one
It's possible to do horrible things and get away with it and two
It's best to not risk
Anything it's best to not risk it. They want these sexual perversions. They want to torture women
They love doing it, but they knew that if they didn't kill these women then this sort of thing was gonna happen
Again and again and again, so this is when the full-on
Murder torture begins with the completion of the cellar. Oh the cellar. It's a scary place
Oh, yeah in the cellar in Fred and Rose's torture cellar victims were hung up bound stripped and gagged for long periods of time
Again, we're seeing slaughterhouse techniques
Mm-hmm in this whole thing because he fitted that beam across the cellars of ceiling and he would screw hooks into it
And he hung girls from the beam for days and then they would just mummify there
This is when he's in cool. This is when it's gonna get rough
I'll go ahead and give you a warning prepare yourself because this is when he gets real fucking rough
Fred's instruments of murder they came from the same toolbox he used every day in his day job as a construction worker
He used hammers to use knives use screwdrivers tape
And of course he almost certainly indulged in necrophilia with the victims
And of course all the fingers toes and kneecaps were removed
They never discovered any of these as I said earlier
And of course after they had their fun with the bodies the bodies would have to be disposed of
And this is a quote from professor Bernard Knight who wrote a book about Fred and Mary West or Fred and Rose West
He said the bodies had been dismembered all the heads had been taken off
Well, they were small cuts on the vertebrae usually in the same place on the necks all the legs had been taken off at the hip
They were very little cut mocks around the head of the thigh bones. They're pretty well done. I think pretty well done
Yep, that is a direct quote. They were pretty well done. I think well, I think you're right
So when the cellar filled up with bodies and then god, this is so disturbing when the cellar filled up with bodies
Fred poured concrete over the floor and converted the room into a bedroom for his kids
Well, that's fine because kids love to play with ghosts and learn anything from movies
So let's go through the victims here at least the known victims
Caroline Cooper. She was killed in 1973. She was strangled and dismembered tortured for days
Lucy Partington. She was kidnapped on her way to visit a disabled friend and was tortured for a week before she was finally killed in
1974 Therese Seigenthaler. She was kidnapped while hitchhiking to Ireland. She was killed Shirley Hubbard was also killed in
1974 she was the one when they recovered her head the head was completely covered in tape with only a straw poking out for her to breathe through
The murders also included lodgers that stayed at the house such as Juanita, Mary, and Mott who was killed in 1975 and
Shirley and Robinson who was actually a prostitute for the West until she became pregnant with Fred's child
Tried to replace Rose in the power relationship and Rose of course having none of that
Brudely murdered her of course the basin was full so at some point it just became a really really bad air B&B
Yeah, yes. Yeah, and so the basin was full so Fred buried her in the rear garden
After dismembering both her and her unborn child his own flesh and blood
He had done this twice now where he had gotten a woman pregnant
He killed her cut the cut the stomach open and dismembered the baby as well
And there should be there should be some sort of movie about Rose West versus Shirley and Robinson in that house
Where it's like because she saw herself she was like I could be the kingpin of this family
And so it's like Shirley and Robinson was like I get to be in charge of this murder family
And then Rose West is like you have to beat me in order to be in charge, right?
Well, you know John Candy would have been great in the role as Fred West in that
What are you doing?
Good God, he's too innocent for such a preferred role
It doesn't seem like a John Candy movie
He's your Fred West was like 5-8 or something
I think it's Paul Giamatti
Loosely based on it
Yeah, maybe if you really want to make it lighthearted and funny with a good message at the end
Maybe John Candy
What are you bringing candy up for?
What? Maybe I shouldn't rape him
Last sentence of the movie
Oh, Uncle West
So Fred and Rose's last confirmed sexually motivated murder would be Allison Chambers in 1975
That's the last one that we know of in the house itself
Because the cellar was full, the garden was full
There was no more room to put bodies anywhere
So it's probable that the West continued on their murder spree for the next 19 years
Jesus Christ
Allison Chambers was the last one found in 1975
They were caught in 1992
Oh my, yeah, they were definitely killing
They wouldn't have stopped
That's what they said when they found him too and they were going through like basically
They'll talk about him later on, but they alluded to not only were there bodies at the house
And there were bodies by this lake
There was a farm plot that he may have bought that could possibly have dozens of bodies
He told his son that there were 20 or more women buried there
But it's also likely that Fred committed a bunch of murders in the early 60s who'd live in Glasgow
Where we'll be playing at the Glasgow Comedy Festival on April 25th, I believe
You can get your tickets at gigsandtours.com
I hope we find some bones
I think we will if we go looking
But during his time there, four young girls who matched Fred West's criteria all disappeared
And he had rented a garden plot while living in Glasgow
But by the time the crimes came to light, the plot had been buried under Junction 22 of the M8 highway
And of course they can't shut down the M8 to go looking for some girls
So they will forever be under M8
Well what a fun way to be I guess
Kind of got cars driving all over you and you're dead
Part of the hubbub of everyday life in Scotland
Yeah, alright
So in 1986 Fred and Rose's daughter Heather told a friend about the abuse that both she and her sister Emery
Had endured over a decade or longer
And it was some of the most
And the abuse that they visited upon their daughters was fucking horrific
He viewed them as basically he was trying to raise prostitutes for their prostitute ring
And he viewed them as sexual toys to be developed
And bring them in during the torture sessions of the girls that they killed
Sure
Yeah, it's bad
Well it's the same thing his parents did with him to some degree
It's the family business it seems like
So the friend that Heather had confided in
She told her parents who were friends of the West
And of course at this time the walls started to close in around Fred and Rose
They started to see their perfect fucking murder sex utopia coming to an end
But it was most likely Rose who murdered her daughter
Who was as I said earlier probably the product of Rose's incestuous relationship with her father
And Fred looking to fit one more body into the family plot
Enlisted his son Steven to help him dig the hole under the guise of building a new patio
Where he buried his daughter's dismembered corpse
Marcus as a child you like to dig holes
It was my favorite
Isn't that interesting moving on
Red flag another Marcus Parks
Red flag
Also and so that's what I do then throughout their childhood
There was I guess a quote unquote family joke
Where every single time they would do something wrong
Fred would threaten you better stop doing that
Or you're gonna end up under the patio like your sister Heather
Yeah
Although he had initially told him oh no she's gone to work in Devon
You'll never see her again
Tough job yeah
Real tough job
24 seven days a week job
Yeah exactly
24 hours seven days
So finally in fucking May of 1992 after decades of operating
West he raped a friend of his daughters
And when the girl told a friend at the school police finally came to investigate 25 Cromwell Street
And the friends they went to the police and the case was assigned to
Detective Constable Hazel Savage
Who you will remember from Rena making the complaint
That Fred was a sexual deviant 20 years before
Yeah
And she remembered all the stories that Rena had told her about
Also another build up too was that social services started trying to figure out where Heather was
Yeah
Heather was looking basically Heather had been missing for school for seven years
And finally
For seven years
Yeah seven years yeah
And they started like legitimately were like hey where's Heather
Her desk is there
Yeah
So on August 6 1992 police arrived at 25 Cromwell Street with a search warrant to look for pornography and evidence of child abuse
They found bondage masks and suits a large assortment of dildos and vibrators
And of course an embarrassing amount of pornography
Oh god
He was just looking at my searches
Just read in the face wasn't he
I mean it was piles and piles of magazines
And Fred and they were also really into taking pictures of Rose and sending them into swingers magazines
To get people to you know comment on the photos
Which means people jacked off to Rose West while she was murdering and raping a bunch of kids in her house
That is absolutely true
So they arrested Rose for assisting in the rape of a minor and Fred was arrested for rape and sodomy of a minor
But the case collapsed again when two witnesses refused to testify
But Detective Constable Hazel Savage had caught wind of the strange disappearance of Heather West
Because not only was she gone for seven years
But rumors were going around town that Fred was always making this joke
It was like oh if you fuck up you're gonna end up under the patio like Heather
So Detective Hazel Savage pursued the case for another two years
Before she finally got enough evidence to produce a search warrant for 25 Cromwell Street
And Heather's remains were found right in the hole
The evidence should have began to dug seven years earlier
The evidence should have began and ended with does he walk with a limp oh he does okay let's charge him
Well so and basically as soon as they found these bodies Fred West confessed to everything
He tried to keep his wife out of it because he didn't want her to get arrested
Yeah
And so he confessed to everything he said he did it he basically he did three
He said I killed three people they're all over the patio
But then he began this thing where he would tell them that ghosts would talk to him
And so he created this whole fantasy about like first he was like
I killed her because she like I accidentally killed her
He's like my hands he's like my hands are so strong he's like I could pull I don't know what a spanner is
He's like I could use I could pull off three lug nuts without a spanner with my own hands
So it's like I grabbed her and I accidentally snapped her neck
And then he started saying oh no she's out she's working for a drug dealer in Devin right
And then he started saying no I talked to ghosts
So the ghost or his last resort yeah
He says I talked to ghosts and so he said that the three people haunted him
And so he wanted to get off his chest and then when they were looking for more bodies
When they realized like there's nothing there were certain fine bits of bone underneath the patio
They're like to start looking for more bodies we're going to start shifting down to the basement
He would what they would do to have him he would do this ruse they were like okay
We'll we'll believe you talk to ghosts so they would bring him down in the basement with the medium
And he would walk the basement with his hands out and being like it's like tell us where the ghosts are talking to you
Where the bodies are and he would be like that I see one here they're spinning around me
They're spinning around it's so dumb so weird
Yeah yeah yeah that's very strange but Fred he would eventually confess to two nine other murders
After the bodies were found he never confessed officially to any other murders others
And strangely enough he always denied the one murder that he denied was Annie McFall
His very first murder the pregnant woman the woman that you got pregnant
That was the only one that he maintained he's like nope didn't kill her
I killed everybody else I killed Rena I killed all of I killed Charmaine I killed all of the girls
But I didn't kill McFall
Alright but you see that I mean you always see this in the serial killer cases where people that are charged except for you know people like
Dommer but they've been charged with multiple crimes and even though it's very obvious that they're all of the murders are
Directly linked to them like Chick-A-Tillo
One of them it's always like one of them is one that they feel extremely guilty
Exactly that's what I was just gonna say it's the only one that matters yeah he has to deny it to himself
Because he's still a he's still a superhero in his own mind
Yeah so Fred now that he knew his life would be over he knew that there was no more sex
There was no more perversion there was no more torture
Hung himself in his cell while awaiting trial on New Year's Day 1995
While with a knotted bed sheet while awaiting trial in Birmingham
Which we will be appearing at in our last podcast on the left live for
In March tickets go on sale on Friday gigsandtours.com
And Fred had four only four mourners and were actually I wouldn't say only he had four people
Yeah I was gonna say only four I can't believe it
Yeah four people came to a service and the service lasted less than five minutes
They cremated him and then scattered his ashes in the countryside of Gloucester
And Rose West still alive to this day
Still alive and have you heard about this thing how she's grown out her mustache
Yeah it looks beautiful
She shaved her head this is not a joke she shaved her head and grown out her mustache
And that she sits alone all day and if anybody tries to talk to her she goes
That's about right
Yep she was eventually charged with the ten murderers but only after Fred had died
If Fred had gone to trial I don't know if Rose West would have ever been charged with any of the murderers
But they needed somebody they need somebody to hang for this
All the confessions he only blamed himself he said that she had nothing to do with it
Yeah yeah he did but yeah she eventually took all the blame for it
She lives at top security low Newton jail in Durham
And she enjoys playing Monopoly, embroidery, cooking and shopping from catalogs
I want Park Place because it's got a big basement
Weird
Alright everyone well that's Fred and Rose West Jesus what a demented couple
But again a spiritual connection no doubt they have
Truly in love
That's how you know if somebody loves you if they're willing to cop to twelve murderers
Turn them in if you're with the guy and he's like let's go kill that woman and let's rape her and kill her in the basement
Just turn him right in he's don't even bother playing with it he'll just do that to you too
