Bernard Giles Recounts His First Murder | Confessions of a Serial Killer With Piers Morgan | ITV

This man was the serial killer in my home town where I live still to this day. My parents knew him and his siblings. My dad was friends with his brother and my mother knew one of his victims. A very sad story of our town.

He is more sociopathic than psychopathic.

[@cjstats1514]

​@kabelontitsane4943 Different sides ofbthe same coin. They don't even use "psychopath" medically anymore. It's just sociopathy type 1 and type 2. What pop culture calls psychopaths is type 1 sociopathy. Which is more calculated and callous. Type 2 is what majority think of as a sociopath. More impulsive, emotional and irresponsible.

[@nemiw4429]

He cried at Braveheart. And it was the most emotional movie for me, when the actor main actor was beheaded. Titanic too. So there is some emotions.

[@nobodyknows3450]

If you had the same brain pattern as him it would make sense. Luckily you have a highly functional frontal cortex.

[@charlie-girl72]

Appreciate in my opinion it's all about the psychopathical EGO so he doesn't love his family its just his safety , his contrast between good and evil yet he's so numb the evil doesn't hit him ever. Its,just his therotory, family is just that cover up he had, probably such as him when kill him, cause revenge or so he dies laughing a bit still with no emotions. Very scary

It's unsettling, but I'm glad he said it. I imagine most serial killers only do it repeatedly out of enjoyment or obsession. So, rather than lie, he's telling us some of the reality.

These interviewers never make sense to me, most serial killers who have wifes and kids seperate the 2 completely, if they're taking lives why would they have any remorse even at his advanced age? They are obviously wired different from the rest of society. The question that should be asked is can these people be helped? If not why are we paying for them to sit and rot in jail? Put them on an abandoned island with other serial killers and make them survive there by building their own shelter, catching their own food etc.

[@mrjonesandme8848]

Evil Lives Here has an episode dedicated to this guy. It's a fantastic documentary

[@matwirsch7748]

I have watched dozens of interviews, read extensively and I'm not even close to understanding these aberrations. However, I'm beginning to think the killings, especially the first one, result in an extreme, incredible high. When that high wears away and can no longer be refreshed by memory, pictures, news articles or things like revisits or mementos the only thing that they desire is to repeat the high. Might relate to why there is a cooling off period. Might also connect to escalation in brutality and frequency.

[@nackjicholson1940]

I'll never understand how or why they have absolutely no regard or empathy for other people... and obviously aren't bothered about the consequences of their actions either. They know what they're doing is wrong, they know it's very likely that they'll eventually get caught and go to prison... but that still isn't enough to deter them or make them reconsider.

[@Bloom0to9]

This man is broken. It's weird that a psychopath is only given the name clinically after they have committed a crime. I'm sure I have met a couple psychopath in my life and they live normal lives.

[@zemocon2868]

That's the whole point. They're living normal lives but that's just the mask. How can you know what those people do when they're alone?

[@zyyl1949]

Around 0.5% of the adult male population are clinically diagnosable psychopaths (a score of >30 on a test called the PCL-R). Most psychopaths aren’t violent and when studied they’re more likely to be found as CEO’s, lawyers or surgeons than in prison. Where it goes wrong is a combination of psychopathy + sadism, pretty much the blueprint of every serial killer

[@yojomma685]

@@zemocon2868well it more complicated. Most aren’t really “normal”. Ask their significant others and kids about them. Most say they are a tyrant and are mentally/emotionally abusive. Sadly that isn’t a prosecutable crime, so they technically still have a clean record

[@ManicMindTrick]

Some people with psycopathic traits manage to harness that fearlessness and coldness in a pro social way. They have healthy relationships to a large extent and dont seem to be too weird or cruel. One if my favourite stories is about James Fallon, a neuroscientist who did research on psychopathy and during his studies he discovered he himself had the typical brain pattern and genes of a violent psychopath but that influence had never effected him too greatly. Married to his childhood sweetheart for 50 years. He grew up in a very good home. If he had an abusive household those genes might have expressed themselves in a very different way.

[@zemocon2868]

@@ManicMindTrick How can you tell how James Fallon acts while he's alone with his family? Based on his interviews he sounds like a typical psychopath. He could be abusing his family and we would never hear about it.

I just watched the "Evil Lives Here" episode from ID and his family tells the story of him from their perspective, very interesting. I knew nothing of these incidents beforehand. EDIT: I just heard the comment of him shooting his victim, in the episode I watched where I first learned everything about his victims, he walked his sister through the orange Grove where he had the bodies laying around and asked his sister where he could buy a gun. She said she didn't think anything of it. Wow... sick sick mind. Hearing what he would think if someone did that to his daughter... wow. Shocking how I never had heard of any of this with my knowledge of criminology.

[@thevintagepoet]

He says he " wouldn't appreciate it." Most men would say they would kill someone if they hurt their kid. He had no emotion

people don't have to be traumatized in their youth to be a senseless being.

ALSO HIM TALKING ABOUT ' HIM ' HE ' he talks about himself like it is'nt him probably so he avoids any guilt, pure evil. a new documentary on youtube he talks like its not him. he talks with full concience yet he kinda talks very kind. this trick is so scary at the same time he does'nt feel ANYTHING.

[@StephenFletcher-vf9im]

I believe Peter Suttcliffe went to his local police station and demanded to know what they are doing to catch the crazy bastard who's going around killing all these innocent young women, he said he can't let his wife out, not at night, not with some crazy schizo psycho prowling around with a hammer held tightly in his fist. This just shows how duplicitous some people can be. I believe Sutcliffe also offered to help the police look for the killer when he was finished at work. He offered to help look for himself, with the help of the police. Several years back a new gymnasium was built at Ashworth secure facility in Liverpool and they needed a sports personality to officially open it. It was The heavyweight boxer Frank Bruno who did it, and later, I saw a picture of Sutcliffe shaking Bruno's hand in both of his and smiling broadly. God, I wondered how Bruno felt about that. I thought of him rushing off to be sick somewhere.

So sad that he took the lives of 5 innocent people & not have a care in the world about his horrible actions/crimes. One day he'll stand before God the Creator to account for them. He'll probably not be so non-chalant about it then. 😵‍💫

He's a little bit like Russell Williams. Nice guy pleasant and would go back to his wife after he murdered. What are gifted artist even though it was macabre and dark. Too bad they can't study the brains of these people after they're gone like they did Einstein. Play frozen's brain and sliced it analyzed it different parts of the world. Because he was so intelligent. A lot of these killers are highly intelligent. There needs to be a deep study as to why people's brains go off. I personally think they become possessed with devils because that is biblical. Dr Peter S Ruckman demonology best book I ever read. And there is a tape out from the 70s that's the only thing that makes sense to me about these people that seem to be ordinary and rather very pleasant. I don't know if anyone's followed Russell Williams story and the interview but these guys are exactly alike. With their emotions add mannerisms and even the voice. Since he had that view of women I wonder if he was into pornography and that's what gave him such a dehumanizing thought of women degrading. And I wonder his thoughts on God or if he thought like Hawking. Find out his likes and dislikes and maybe put something together of a profile because all those things made him to sum total of who he was by the time he was 20. Was he hit was he abused what's the humiliated degraded how is his relationship with his mother? It could very well have a connection. What was the name of the book that had his name on it what kind of movies did he used to watch and like. And that one picture of the head with the brain and one eye is messed up. There's a picture that I've seen of Mr Giles and one of his eyes is messed up. I very well believe that he was drawing a picture of himself. Which could have clues clues since he doesn't remember drawing them The devil inside him inspired him. When I say devil I don't mean the ultimate devil put the minions. And he did smile a few times. He liked the movie braveheart. Is someone from a church preaching to him? Because Jesus would forgive him. I noticed he said he doesn't feel worthy to even apologize. I understand in a way what he's talking about. And I wonder if you like animals because I know the traits of serial killers but what if this one was very kind to animals. Seems like there's no respecter of persons. I worked with severely mentally ill people and I used to have to diffuse them. They could be quite friendly once you accepted them and understand them and talk to them I also wonder if he had any other siblings that had issues? A demon possessed person has superhuman strength where I grew up shawcross was very strong and it took a lot of men to hold him down. He was nice to us we work at a nearby sub place and he was the butcher at AJ camp. He never hurt anybody that he knew.

[@baileypooh1]

To answer a couple of questions, no, he didn't like animals. As a kid, he put a fire cracker in the mouth of a living fish and blow the fish up. Another one, he was playing with his pet rat, the rat bit him so he boil the rat alive and then ate it. Those are a couple of examples. Has for being abused as a kid, think about it, it was the 70's after all. The mother would hit all 3 kids with a twiq or if they were in the house with something else and the father used a belt. There was not any other abused in the house. His other 2 siblings, turned out to be great people. If you want to know more about Bernard Eugene Giles, you should watch a show called evil lives here. It will give you all you want to know from about age 5 until he was arrested at age 20. Hope I was able to help a bit. BTW, Russell Williams, wore women's underwear and bras. That how he started, by b&e, to steal undergarments. When the thrill was gone, that's when he started to kill. Williams stalked the women first. Gene Giles, was killing during days or nights. He didn't care. He killed 5 women in a period of 3 weeks I believe without a cooling period in between. Williams had a long cooling period in between. Like I said earlier, I hope I was able to help you a bit.
