Dennis Nilsen - Conversations with Britain's most evil serial killer

Product Information

With most victims, Nilsen masturbated as he stood alongside or knelt above the body, and Nilsen confessed to having occasionally engaged in intercrural sex with his victims' bodies, but repeatedly stressed to investigators he had never actually penetrated his victims—explaining that his victims were "too perfect and beautiful for the pathetic ritual of commonplace sex". Throughout his service with this regiment, he was required to cook for thirty soldiers and two officers on a daily basis. By April, Nilsen had killed two further unidentified victims: one of whom he described as an English skinhead whom he had met in Leicester Square; the other he described as " Belfast boy"; a man in his early 20s, approximately 5 ft 9 in (1.

The man who edited the memoirs of serial killer Dennis Nilsen has revealed that they included “highly pornographic” fantasies which couldn’t be published. Throughout this committal hearing, he was represented by a solicitor named Ronald Moss, whom he had previously dismissed as his legal representative on 21 April, [137] before Moss was reappointed to the role after Nilsen had complained to magistrates he had been afforded no facilities with which he could mount his own defence.Nilsen admitted to engaging in masturbation as he viewed the nude bodies of several of his victims, and to have engaged in sexual acts with six of his victims' bodies, [60] but was adamant that he had never penetrated any of his victims. Afterward, he was briefly transferred to HMP Parkhurst, before being transferred to HMP Wakefield, where he remained until 1990.

Months later, the regiment was transferred to West Berlin, where, the same year, Nilsen had his first sexual experience with a female: a prostitute whose services he solicited. Nilsen engaged Stottor in conversation, discovering he was depressed following a failed relationship. This included the cooking pot in which Nilsen had boiled the heads of the three victims killed at Cranley Gardens, the cutting board he had used to dissect John Howlett, and several rusted catering knives which had formerly belonged to victim Martyn Duffey.Nilsen was kidnapped by an Arab taxi driver, who beat him unconscious and placed him in the boot of his car. He was tried at the Old Bailey before Mr Justice Croom-Johnson [141] and pleaded not guilty on all charges. The evidence provided by Stottor was not included as part of the indictment against Nilsen as his whereabouts were not known until after the indictment had been completed. All the victims' personal possessions were destroyed following the ritual of bathing their bodies in an effort to obliterate their identity prior to their murder and their now becoming what Nilsen described as a "prop" in his fantasies.

DCI Jay then recounted the circumstances of Nilsen's arrest and his "calm, matter-of-fact" confessions, before reading to the court several statements volunteered by Nilsen following his arrest. While in prison, the killer penned his memoirs, but the 6,000 pages of notes were banned from publication by the Home Office in 2003. Several days later, the pair viewed a vacant ground floor flat at 195 Melrose Avenue, also in Cricklewood, and they decided to move into the property.Allen's body was retained in the bathtub for a total of three days before Nilsen began the task of dissecting his body upon the kitchen floor. Mark Austin, who knew Nilsen for 27 years, edited the memoirs and published them this month in a book titled History of a Drowning Boy. He further emphasised that, when feeling low, seizing an opportunity to satisfy the sexual fantasies he had developed in which the victim is the young, attractive and passive partner, and he the older active partner, temporarily relieved him of a general feeling of inadequacy. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. I bring [with me] people who are not always allowed to leave because I want them to share my experiences and high feeling.
