Detained for the murder of the twelve women found at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, Frederick West hung himself on New Year’s Day 1995. The case had enraged the nation, and the subsequent trial of Rosemary for the same crimes caused a media sensation.

How are ordinary human beings driven to become serial killers? How did this psychopath ensnare so many women? And how much was Rosemary truly involved?
