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.

The Ghoul Babes, Viv and Jaid take a deep dive into the dark and twisted mind of one of the worst, most prolific serial killers from the UK - Dennis Andrew Nilsen.

Buckle up, Spooky Nation. There are violent, bloody seas ahead.

You have been warned.

Dennis Nilsen started out as an innocent kid, learning the ways of life. Little did he know, he would grow up to be one of the United Kingdom's most infamous serial killers. Dennis hunted in the streets of Northern London for 5 years, taking 15 young males as his victims. He would commit gruesome, revolting crimes without an ounce of remorse. The worse part is that the police would let him slip through there fingers time and time again. Finally, the day of his arrest arrived, but no one was prepared for the details of this case.
