How a Family Joke About a Teen Under the Patio Led to Serial Killer Couple's Capture
Published 1 year, 7 months ago
Description
It was a morbid family jest that ultimately revealed a far more disturbing truth.
For many years, the West children were warned, If you misbehave, you’ll end up like Heather, buried under the patio in the backyard, as detailed in Peacock's new true crime docuseries, World’s Most Notorious Killers, currently available for streaming.
However, when law enforcement became aware of this unsettling family jest and initiated an investigation, they uncovered a horrifying duo of serial killers, Fred and Rosemary Rose West, who preyed on unsuspecting young women and even two of their own children for their own perverse gratification.
Residing on Cromwell Street in Gloucester, England, the couple transformed a basement playroom into a gruesome torture chamber where victims were subjected to rape, assault, murder, and subsequently interred beneath the cellar floor. When they exhausted the available space there, they extended their activities to the garden, where additional innocent victims were laid to rest.
