Welcome back, Spooky Squad, to Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. In today's episode, we are covering the first part of The UK's most prolific serial killer, Dennis Nilsen.
Few serial killers in British history have left a legacy as chilling as Dennis Nilsen, a man whose calm demeanor hid the unspeakable horrors lurking beneath. Dubbed the ‘Muswell Hill Murderer,’ or the 'Kindly Killer', Nilsen preyed on young men in London during the late 1970s and early 1980s, luring them to his flat where he brutally killed them, often without any apparent motive beyond his own twisted desires. He would then engage in the eerie ritual of bathing and posing their bodies, as if prolonging his control over them even after death.
His capture in 1983, after human remains clogged his drains. Hang with us as we sip on some caffeine from our local Starbucks and dive into this shocking and tragic tale of murder.
And remember to stay spooky!
