'SHE MUST HAVE KNOWN' The Trial of Rosemary West.

Paperback. Frederick West cheated everybody when he hung himself on New Year's Day 1995. Was this a sign of overwhelming guilt? Was West criminally insane or merely a sexual sadist of the worst kind? The author sets out to answer these questions. Attending the Rosemary West trial on a daily basis, he has come up with a penetrating study of the sexual obsession that led to the measured killing of 12 women and girls. In the wake of the horrific detail of murder, sadism and torture that has come to light, the author looks closely at how and why ordinary human beings were driven to serial killing of the most devious kind, and how an evil psychopath was able to ensnare so many in a web of unseeing complicity.
