2. Dennis Nilsen
 The Muswell Hill Murderer

 Nilsen killed his first victim, 14-year-old Stephen Holmes, on 30 December
1978.
 Nilsen is believed to have murdered up to 16 vulnerable young men, many of
whom were gay, in north London between 1978 and 1983.
 Convicted at the Old Bailey of six counts of murder and two of attempted
murder, Nilsen was sentenced to life imprisonment on 4 November 1983.
 Nilsen died in 2018, more than 35 years after being caged for life.

4. Traumatic Childhood
 He was born on November 23, 1945, in Fraserburgh, Scotland.
 His childhood was traumatic.
 His father was alcoholic.
 His father and mother continually arguing with each other.
 Then, his father moved away when Nilsen was four.
 His mother and two siblings then moved into mother’s house.
 Nilsen immediately bounded with his grandfather.
 When he was only six years old, his grandfather died.

5. Remarriage of Mother
 His mother remarried and had four children more.
 The situation enhanced his feelings of being left out, alone and uncared for.
 He was lost in a crowd.
 There was something else that isolated him from his peers.
 At a very young age he started to feel romantically attracted to boys.
 But though he had feelings, he didn’t act on them.

6. Childhood Behavior
 From 1951 Dennis Nilsen became more moody than ever.
 His habit of wandering off alone grew compulsive.
 And when his mother remonstrated with him and attempted to keep him in,
he responded defiantly that even horses were not tied up.
 He also went on long solitary walks.
 Dennis felt he could not show his grief at home, where all were preoccupied
with the reorganization of their lives.
 He also begun to think as sea his god.

7.  “Many years ago I was a boy drowning in the sea. I am always drowning in the
sea … down amongst the dead men, deep down. There is peace in the sea
back down to our origins … when the last man has taken his last breath the
sea will still be remaining. It washes everything clean. It holds within it
forever the boy suspended in its body and the streaming hair and the open
eyes.”
 “How to explain the irresistible compulsion to join the sea, to be part of it, to
sink into the solace of its company? His mother would think him mad!”

8.  A love for the sea has never ceased to feed his imagination in the years since
he left Scotland.
 “In those days I could hate Adam Scott very easily. I was, I suppose, very
jealous of him having a relationship with and the attention of my mother. I
sometimes felt that we, the Nilsen kids, were an impediment to her
fulfilment in her new life and family. I was a very lonely and turbulent child. I
inhabited my own secret world full of ideal and imaginary friends. Nature had
mismatched me from the flock.“

9.  It was unfortunate that the Scotts could not tolerate animals of any kind, for
had Dennis been allowed to devote more attention to them he might have
found some relief from the conviction that he was useless.

10. School Life
 There was one particular schooldays incident which caused Dennis to
ruminate.
 An old man from Strichen, Mr. Ironside, went missing.
 Then, his Corp was found.
 The boy Nilsen was more perturbed than most by the sight.
 ‘He reminded me of my grandfather, and the images were fixed firmly in my
mind … I could never comprehend the reality of death.’
 In all his years at school, Dennis Nilsen had no sexual encounter, not even of a
minimal kind.

11.  However, there was an emotional experience which burned deeply, never to
be released or confessed.
 In his sister Sylvia’s class at school there was one boy whom Dennis adored
from afar.
 Of the entire school, no other person held this power to make him feel
nervous.
 He was, to Dennis, beautiful, enigmatic, different.

12.  Dennis felt inferior and ashamed; he did not dare to approach him, but
merely hovered in the playground watching him and trying to get near him,
his legs quivering like jelly.
 Whenever he thought of this boy, guilt invaded him, a vague uneasy guilt
without a reason.

13. Employments
 For the next three years, from 1961 to 1964, Dennis Nilsen was a boy soldier
at Aldershot.
 By his own account, he was ‘a frail and skinny boy, very self-conscious,
introverted, and shy’.
 Dennis joined the army catering corps.
 He was to learn a skill there that served him well during murderous rampage:
butchering.
 Following his departure from army, he joined the police force and stayed for a
year.

14.  A special treat for him certainly was access to the morgue and autopsies.
 Which fed into the necrophiliac tendencies that had been building inside him
for years.

16.  Between 1978 and 1983, Nilsen is known to have killed a minimum of twelve men and boys, and
to have attempted to kill seven others (he initially confessed in 1983 to having killed about
sixteen victims).
 The majority of Nilsen's victims were homeless or gay men; others were heterosexual people he
typically met in bars, on public transport, or on one occasion or outside his own home.
 All of Nilsen's murders were committed inside the two North London addresses where he resided
in the years. His victims were lured or attracted to these addresses through guile, ypically the
offer of alcohol and or shelter.

17.  Inside Nilsen's home, the victims were usually given food and alcohol, then strangled typically
with a ligature, either to death or until they had become unconscious. If the victim had been
strangled into unconsciousness, Nilsen then drowned him in his bathtub, his sink or a bucket of
water before observing a ritual in which he bathed, clothed, and retained the bodies inside his
residences for several weeks or, occasionally, months before he dismembered them.
 Each victim killed between 1978 and 1981, their bodies was disposed of via burning on a bonfire.
Prior to their dissection, Nilsen removed their internal organs, which he disposed of either
beside a fence behind his flat or close to Gladstone Park. The victims killed in 1982 and 1983 at
his Muswell Hill residence were retained at his flat, with their flesh and smaller bones flushed
down the lavatory.
 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.

charges, Nilsen was free to go.

19. December 1978: Nilsen's first kill
 Stephen Dean Holmes was 14 when he met Nilsen at a bar in late 1978. The
two went home together, but Holmes never got to leave. Nilsen later said in a
letter written from prison that he killed Holmes because he feared that
Holmes would leave him.
"I had started down the avenue of death and possession of a new kind of
flatmate," Nilsen wrote.

escaped and went to the police. However, he declined to formally press
charges, according to the book The Evil Within.

him after he disappeared.

22. Throughout 1980: Several more Nilsen
murders (allegedly)

them was ever identified. Scottish-born William "Billy" Sutherland was 26
when he fell victim to Nilsen's crime spree in August of 1980. He was a
boyfriend and father who had gone to London to find work. He reportedly
visited the job center where Nilsen was employed and was killed shortly
thereafter. His family did file a missing persons report for him, but until

escaping. After spending the night with Nilsen, Paul Nobbs, who was 19 at the

32. How he got arrested
 On February 4, Nilsen complained to estate agents about the drains being
clogged, seemingly unaware that it was the body parts of his own victims
clogging them.
 When plumber Michael Cattran informed Nilsen that he had found the drain
packed with a fleshy substance and small bones, Nilsen joked that someone
was flushing down "their Kentucky Fried Chicken".
 Cattran and his supervisor returned the next morning to clear the drain but
found that someone else had done it.

33. Conti…..
 Suspicious, they examined the pipes leading to the drain and found more
bones and scraps of flesh in a pipe coming from the top floor of the house,
where Nilsen resided.
 After informing police, a pathologist confirmed that the bones were human,
and that one of the flesh scraps was part of a neck bearing marks typical of
ligature strangulation.
 As three officers waited for Nilsen to come home, they noticed the smell of
decomposition at his front door.

34. Conti……
 Nilsen first feigned shock when the officers told him that the blockage was
caused by human remains, but when they told him to tell them the location
of the rest of the body, he led them to one of the closets containing remains.
 When asked if there were more, Nilsen said that it was "a long story" and that
he would tell it all at the police station.
 While being driven there, an officer asked Nilsen if the remains belonged to
one person or two.
 Nilsen looked out of the window and replied, "Fifteen or sixteen, since 1978."

35. Confession
 In an interview conducted on 10 February, Nilsen made a full confession.
 Nilsen confessed there were further human remains stowed in a tea chest in
his living room, with other remains inside an upturned drawer in his
bathroom.
 The dismembered body parts were the bodies of three men, all of whom he
had killed by strangulation-usually with a necktie.

36. Conti…….
 One victim he could not name; another he knew only as "John the Guardsman
"and the third he identified as Stephen Sinclair. He also stated that, beginning
in December 1978, he had killed "twelve or thirteen" men at his former
address, 195 Melrose Avenue. Nilsen also admitted to having unsuccessfully
attempted to kill approximately seven other people, who had either escaped
or, on one occasion, had been at the brink of death but had been revived and
allowed to leave his residence.

37. Conti………
 However, he claimed that he had no intention to kill until the moment right
before a murder.
 He also claimed that he ignored the reason for the murders, adding that he
hoped the police would tell him. On November 4, 1983, Nilsen was found
guilty of six murders and one attempted murder, and sentenced to life in
prison without parole for 25 years.
 The possibility of parole was eliminated in 1994 by Home Secretary Michael
Howard, who replaced Nilsen's sentence with one of whole life order.
 Nilsen reacted to the news by saying that he accepted his life sentence and
had no desire to be free again.
