Fred & Rose West are virtually unique in British criminal history. They were a couple who loved & killed together as husband & wife. During their long relationship the West's murdered a series of young women, burying the remains of 9 victims under their home at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, including those of their teenage daughter, Heather. What was left of Fred West's 8 year old step daughter was dug up beneath the West's' previous Gloucester home. His first wife & nanny were buried in the open country outside the city. Several victims were found decapitated & dismembered, their remains showing signs of sexual torture. However, these 12 are just the ones the police found when the West's were arrested in 1994. There may be more whose bones have not been located. This book has 362 pages & is 19.7cm x 12.7cm x 2.5cm ...
