Fred & Rose: The Full Story of Fred and Rose West and the Gloucester House of Horrors

Product Information

His horrifying compulsion to kidnap, rape and torture his victims before murdering them showed a savagery and cruelty that can barely be believed. Such as, why were finger and toe bones missing, are there more victims and if so where are they buried?

When a girl accepted his advances, she would find his sexual performance unsatisfying, as his primary objective was his own gratification. To me this doesn’t take into account that his father and brother John are alleged to have shown similar sexual tendencies. The facts are laid out explicitly but not sensationally making this an informative, well written, interesting account.

Fred's sister-in-law, Christine, later recollected Rena was depressed and extremely anxious about her children's welfare.

As well as a long, established history of deviancy, cruelty, sadistic violence, abuse and killing West had his first taste of prison in Gloucester back in 1969, where he apparently had to endure a diet of bread and water.In fact it took until the later half of 1992 before a significant inquiry arrived at the door of 25 Cromwell Street, by which time the body count was already in double figures and many others had been horrendously damaged by the chronic abuse they had endured. He also previously cited the poor lighting at the property, and of course he tells us of how often the police attended the property for a number of unrelated, low-level crimes too. Well after reading the entire book I realize these people were destined to have troubled lives from the get go.
