Miracle Aligner 249 Posted June 29, 2020 Golden State killer finally charged. Can't imagine the sentence being one that'll allow him out of prison again given he's 74. Pleading some kind of personality disorder...... Quote Sacramento County prosecutor Thien Ho said that after he was arrested in 2018, and left alone in an interrogation room, DeAngelo began speaking to himself, seeming to address a person within that he could not control. "I did all that," DeAngelo said, according to Mr Ho. "I didn't have the strength to push him out. He made me. He went with me. It was like in my head, I mean, he's a part of me. "I didn't want to do those things. I pushed Jerry out and had a happy life. I did all those things. I destroyed all their lives. So now I've got to pay the price." However, prosecutors have expresses scepticism over whether DeAngelo's words and actions are authentic, noting he once faked a heart attack after he was sacked from a job for shoplifting. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53226327 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theoldlady 2,344 Posted August 29, 2020 Several more Federal USA prisoners have been executed lately. Dustin Lee Honken (in July), Lezmond Charles Mitchell and Keith Dwayne Nelson (this week). Most have murdered children and others in the most brutal ways imaginable. This brings a total of 5 so far this year. At least two more may come in September.

Those still left include Robert Maudsley (longest-serving convict in the current legal system iirc), Jeremy Bamber (the murderer with the most insane fanbase online, just google them) and, for the ladies, Rose West. In the absence of Nilsen's own thread let's post this here. Three part drama on ITV starting tonight with David Tennant looking like a fairly accurate Nilsen - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54025946 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,638 Posted September 14, 2020 Being as at any given moment on a full Sky package (or £10-a-month bootleg IPTV video hookup) there are seven separate true crime documentaries broadcasting, I'm kinda serial killer-ed out at the moment, but I'll definitely tune in for this. Nilsen was almost the most fascinating British serial killer to me, just because, as it says in that article, he was so fucking boring. Although him killing victims with their own headphone wires as they were listing to War of the Worlds is kinda funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh I'm bored with the same old/same old serial killer stuff though I recently read both of Gitta Sereny's books on Mary Bell which are really interesting in terms of trying to understand why a kid a few days either side of her 11th birthday would kill two small children. Also finally got a hardback copy of Gordon Burn's Happy Like Murderers - vivid account of the goings on in and around Fred and Rose's boarding house of delights - both of my lads rated this as a really good read.
