In this episode we discuss notorious British serial killer Dennis Nilsen, how his dog Bleep looks like animated devil-dog Mr Pickles, Fanfare of the Common Man and the best day of my life, while Rue seems to know too much about disposing of a body.

In the winter of 1983 when a resident of a block of flats in North London couldn’t flush their toilet properly they called a drain clearing company.  The operatives would find suspicious and unusual material blocking the drains. This, it would turn out, would be human remains.  The address the drain blockage company was called to was Cranley Gardens, Muswell Hill, the address of Dennis Nilsen the British serial killer. 

In Cranley Gardens and Nilsen’s previous address in Melrose Avenue Nilsen would kill 12 men between 1978 and 1983. He would cruise the gay bars of London’s West end to locate his victims.  He would also pick up vagrants and male prostitutes off the streets.   

In this Series 1 final episode of Why Killers Kill Dr. Jane psychologically analyses what motivated Nilsen to undertake his murderous spree, in other words what made this killer kill.

Happy Labor Day!This week, Drewby and Yergy take another trip across the pond and delve into the horrors of Dennis Nilsen, whose crimes bear striking similarities to that of our own Jeffrey Dahmer. We also discuss the upcoming 3 part miniseries "Des," starring David Tennant as Dennis Nilsen - which we are very excited for.

Dennis Andrew Nilsen was a Scottish serial killer and necrophile who murdered at least twelve young men and boys between 1978 and 1983 in London, England. Convicted of six counts of murder and two of attempted murder, Nilsen was sentenced to life imprisonment on November 4th, 1983, with a recommendation that he serve a minimum of 25 years. 

All of Nilsen's murders were committed in the two North London addresses in which he resided between 1978 and 1983. His victims would be lured to these addresses and killed by strangulation, sometimes accompanied by drowning. Following each murder, Nilsen would observe a ritual in which he bathed and dressed the victim's body, which he retained for extended periods of time, before dissecting and disposing of the remains by burning on a bonfire or flushing down the toilet. He died in prison on May 12, 2018 of a pulmonary embolism and retro-peritoneal hemorrhage.
