Lucy Letby, Jack the Ripper, Myra Hindley, Fred West.... there are sadly too many choices. All heinous people and three of the four I mentioned killed or helped kill children!

I think Thomas Hamilton probably killed the most when it came to kids?

I think Thomas Hamilton probably killed the most when it came to kids? I believe so. I never realised how protected I really was at Primary School. At that age you never expect an armed nutjob to walk in at any second. |

At that age you never expect an armed nutjob to walk in at any second. What's worse is Hamilton was a respected pro-establishmentarian nut job who aspired to those in authority which highlighted just how sick and corrupt power is. Even that arsehole Prince Phillip spoke out in defence of Hamiltons actions when there was a public call to ban semi-automatic weapons, and the stale outgoing John Major Tory Government wouldn't lift a finger to change the law either. |

Harold Shipman is arguably the most prolific with 250 kills but vilest of all would be Brady and Hindley though. Even reading the transcript of the Leslie Ann Downey recordings was sickening.

I think that fact that Hindley and Brady recorded their crimes in such detail is what makes them so horrifying. Shipman is wihout a doubt the most prolific for general murder by a long chalk, but for child murder Thomas Hamilton has by far the highest bodycount. |

I never knew if he was saying this for cheap shock value, but my old English tutor at college once admitted to us all that he had had a few drinks with Fred West at some point before he was revealed to have murdered people. My tutor referred to him as a tosser (which is putting it mildly), but admitted that at the time he seemed like a really chilled guy.

He didn't have a patio built from him at a knocked down cheap price, did he? |

Jack the Ripper interests me as does the mythical (?) Spring Heeled-Jack. Victorian London is a place I would never want to live, but I get some sort of morbid enjoyment reading up on the crimes and scary happenings of that period. If anything, it helps with my own stories and to be honest I just find that period so unsettling.

The Yorkshire Ripper is another nasty piece of work.

The Yorkshire Ripper is another nasty piece of work. He always reminded me of Oddbod from "Carry On Screaming" |

What about John Christie? And he was into necrophilia, among other things!
There was a BBC drama fairly recently about him with Tim Roth in the lead role, but the Dickie Attenborough one from the 1970s was more disturbing. Apparently it was filmed in the actual house where it happened! Imagine the outcry if the Wests house hadn't been demolished and some enterprising film-maker had decided to use it in the ensuing production...

Yup, they filmed it in Rillington Place just before the whole street was demolished. I remember talking to the guy who ran Rough Trade records in the mid 80's, joking about Rillington Place after seeing the film because the street was literally almost a stones throw parallel with their back yard, and he said, "Wait there a second", went out the the back door from the counter and brought through a labelled brick which he claimed he salvaged when the row of houses were demolished. I was speechless. Out piss-taked! In hindsight, when I look back on it now, he was making the whole thing up, but he slapped this brick on the counter and shut me right up! |

That would have been a hell of a momento! I think I remember Rough Trade, what happened to them? I'm not the biggest fan of ITV dramas lately, but some of their true crime ones have had good reviews, such as the David Tennant turn as Dennis Nilsen. But the best was Reece Shearsmith as The Widower - I never 'got' The League Of Gentlemen but he was superb in the creepy real-life tale. |

If you think our serial killers are bad, you should have a look at some of the American ones! Albert Fish may have killed less people, but he's the most vile person I've ever read about to the point where I never want to look him up or see his face again.
