Top 10 Scariest British Criminals - American Reacts

[@stevearmstrong9213]

As has been said, it's surprised the moors murderers aren't on the list. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley murdered several children in the 1960s and buried them on a remote area of moorland (hence their nickname). The mother of Keith Bennett, one if their victims, spent the rest of her life desperately trying to get them to reveal where they buried her son but Brady led police on several wild goose chases (probably just to get a day out) and he was never found. The poor woman went to her grave never knowing where her son's body lay and unable to give him a proper funeral. I don't believe in the death penalty but I might have bern persuaded to make an exception for the likes of Brady and Hindley. Both died in prison so at least they didn't get to taste freedom again.

[@ninebangtrojan4669]

Brady used to go on "trips" to the moors to find his victims, always under heavy armed guard to prevent escape - now I'll preface this with allegedly but at least once it was discussed in certain circles of shooting him during a "escape attempt" vile creature who is now burning in hell.

I'm not sure what year they were caught, the death penalty was scrapped in the mid\late 60s so it might not have been a option, also the possibility they were nutted off so no death pen in that case. They tape recorded their victims so no denying what they did I can only assume it wasn't something the judge could give.

My brother saw Doc Shipman once when his own GP wasn’t available. He wasn’t killed but said it was the most creepiest appointment he ever had. When it came out that Doc Shipman had killed, my brother went as white as a sheet, the only thing he could say was « I told you there was something not right with that guy....he was so creepy » and he had seen him way before he got caught. But I guess the creepiness really stayed with him to recognize him straight away on the news.

There's a fantastic drama about Dennis Nielsen, the guy who murdered many young men for sexual gratification.

The Yorkshire Police recently apologised to the families of the early victims. They’d labelled them as prostitutes simply because they were women who went out drinking without a husband. While some were prostitutes, most of the YR’s victims were not. He simply targeted women walking alone at night. The Police’s focus on prostitution meant that many survivors of his attacks were not connected to the case because they didn’t fit the erroneous ‘victim profile’ the Police were working with. His later claim that he was killing prostitutes because God told him to was a ploy to have himself declared mentally unfit and sent to hospital rather than jail. The whole YR case was rife with ‘old white geezer syndrome’ - they dismissed the victims as prostitutes, they neglected to use computer databases to collate information, and they took uncorroborated ‘evidence’ which was later found to be faked as fact over actual scientific evidence and witness statements. He’d been interviewed by several different investigators, and his name had been put forward as a suspect dozens of times, but no one followed up on it. I was just chance he got caught when he did - it certainly wasn’t Police work.

[@stevebagnall1553]

Agree totally, I was one of 150 officers designated as part pf of " The Ripper Squad " For some reason, the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire police put his most senior officer in charge. His name was George Oldfield then aged 52 and die to retire in two years. For the previous six years, he was in charge of minor admin duties ie in charge of purchasing things like uniform or vehicles. He had one years training as a detective, mainly dealing with home breaking and fraudulent use of credit cards etc. This guy, literally, could not detect shit on his shoe. Very few victims were working ladies of the night, but George wanted headline news to highlight public awareness. Sutcliffe was 'invited ' for interview no less than seven times, once by myself. In my defence by then the hover, was particularly rampant and because Sutcliffe didn't have a measured gap in his teeth or the blood type taken by forensic experts from saliver on the letters, he was released as clean . He really was a lucky B@st@rd. We estimated his total victims was over 70, major assaults plus 25 murder victims.

Please don't big-up Stephen Griffiths, or buy into his story of cannibalism, that only feeds his desire for notoriety. He adopted at his first court hearing the "Crossbow Cannibal" name, knowing it would splash on the front pages of the tabloids. I nursed Stephen in 1992 when he was referred for psychiatric assessment, but after 2-3 weeks he was shipped back to HMP Wakefield, the forensic psychiatrists having found him to be a narcissistic psychopath, a judgement we all agreed with. He already hero-worshipped serial murderers, especially the more sadistic ones, having a voracious appetite for anything written about them. And even back then I heard him saying killing someone "must be the ultimate thrill". However, outside of his own self-agrandising words (as he saw it), there has never been any evidence of cannibalism. Some remains of two victims were found in the River Aire, forensically very degraded by their immersion and the time elapsed, but there were most certainly not any body parts in his fridge. On a separate note, the horses pulling my wife's hearse were to have been Bonny and Clyde, but they were unavailble, so we got Ronnie and Reggie: I don't know what that says about funeral directors...

The Yorkshire Ripper ain’t alive anymore. He died an agonising COVID related death. Dennis Nilsson was recently portrayed by David Tennant in the TV series ‘Des’.

[@elliottsw]

Fun fact about Harold Shipman - all of his murders over several decades were logged in a single year which obviously made the UK murder rate spike a huge amount as he killed more people than everyone else combined. Sadly this spike coincided with the UK's ban on handguns, so nefarious parties in the USA quote this increase in murder rate and attribute it to the handgun ban, rather than the actual facts. Therefore not only is he responsible for hundreds of deaths directly, the way his figures were used the lie to the American public and argue against gun safety probably killed a few more as well.

[@FreeBeerNoBingo]

I love lists like this as I'm a true crime buff, but this list kind of freaked me out as I have shirt tail connections to 3 of them and seeing them on the same list makes me feel kind of unlucky! (Harold Shipman worked for a time at our local hospital and is believed to have victims here, a friend (never a sex worker) went on a couple of dates with Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, and a friend's mum was married to a man that ran with the Kray brothers. When I met her she was in her 70s and very petite - 5 foot, if that, and looked like a bit of a breeze could take her out. I didn't know of her former mob connections until I watched her run off a bike gang that was demanding protection money from a club we just happened to be in. She may have left that life decades before, but you did not want to be on the wrong side of her because she could go from sweet lil old dear to having balls of steel and a sprinkling of absolutely unhinged in a blink. It still tickles me remembering it - it was unreal to see.

When the newspapers got wind of the plan they ridiculed him and Scotland Yard and he was told not to use the dogs by his commanding officers. This would’ve been one of the first times dogs would be used in an official investigation and more than likely would’ve led to jacks arrest.

Baby farming was a weird time. During the 1800's a law known as the Bastardy clause was enacted which absolved parental responsibility of fathers to their bastard children (In a effort to restore virtue and female morality, eheh) . This did not decrease the instances of illigitimate children as they thought it would. Instead, the mothers were unable to raise their children while working and with the scale of the issue baby farming became popular. Sometimes this would be as in the video - a one off payment, other times it would be weekly payments etc with the 'nanny' looking after many children at a time. Anyhow, it was taken advantage of, many simply starved to death or were neglected in other ways and at it's height there were daily front tabloid spreads of dead babies being left in the street. This caused the law to be reformed and is the bases of many of our child support laws today. "Reform of the Bastardy Laws paralleled the fight for the protection of infant life, and in 1872 they were amended to make the putative father equally liable for the support of the illegitimate child until the age of 16, and it enabled the poor law boards to aid mothers in obtaining support for their children. This law served as the basis of dealing with the financial management of illegitimate children until 1957"

Many moons ago when I was in hospital, my aunt and I went for a wander down to the WRVS shop. We passed a bloke who smiled brightly at us and I smiled right on back, said "Hello!", waved etc etc. My aunt had this quirk where her eyes would bug clean out of her head when something wasn't right. Anyway, we reached the shop, and my aunt was like "Are you out of your bloody mind? That was Charles Bronson, you idiot!" To be fair, I was 11 and heavily drugged LOL

Shipman - they stopped counting mid 250 victims as they could not go back far enough due to the records being destroyed, but it estimated that he killed at least 400+ as all the victims had the same modus operandi on the death certificate and the victims relations.

Not to downplay the obvious seriousness of any of these monsters but purely to lighten the mood a little bit, I remember many years ago going into a gents' toilet somewhere and there being as sign that read, " Please flush twice....it's a long way to the kitchen. " By the way, JT, they made a drama out of Harold Shipman's murder spree and he was portrayed by James Bolam who was more famous for appearing as Terry Collier in the British comedies 'The Likely Lads' and 'Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?' during the 1960's and 1970's. They also made another television drama out of the Wests called ''Appropriate Adult' where Fred West was portrayed by Dominic West ( no relation to either of those monsters ) and Monica Dolan portrayed his wife Rose. Three other monsters that were omitted from this list were the Moors Murderers, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, as well as John Christie who was more familiarly known as Reg Christie to his family and friends and who murdered at least 8 women in the 1940's and 1950's. While both Hindley and Brady died in prison Christie was hanged in July 1953 for his crimes.

The film with the kray twins (played by Tom Hardy) is called Legend, and it’s brilliant. Also, I didn’t even have to watch to know Jack the Ripper was going to be on that list.

[@mandysharp4571]

I grew up around the murders of the Yorkshire ripper. I was 12 and me and my friends were terrified. He killed someone in our village and nearly killed a woman in our small village. We had to go out in groups, really scary times. There is a theory that he murdered women across Europe too as he was a wagon driver. His wife Sonia was a bit weird too. My aunt was her case worker at the government job centre and tried to get her employment. Every woman and girl over 13 were terrified across the whole of Yorkshire. They even suspected our local policeman who lived in the police house. The lady was found in his garden. He was uncle Barry to all of us kids. Just to let you know how we all felt at the time.

[@debbielough7754]

I was only 5 when he was arrested. But I can still clearly remember the all-pervading fear that women felt - a lot refused to go out on their own. And I grew up on Tyneside, 100 miles away from him - or at least from his recorded attacks.

They use to think my grandad was the Yorkshire ripper because he was a Gordie, 6ft2 prob like 220 lbs big guy. Someone prank called the police saying he was the ripper and he had a gordie accent so the police were looking for a Gordie. The guy who prank called later got arrested decades later for a small crime but the police had his finger print from the prank calls and he got life I believe. Because the police actually questioned the ripper multiple times but he didn't have a gordie accent and let him go..

[@ninebangtrojan4669]

If I recall correctly Sutcliffe was spoken to 9 times, a PC went to his boss saying it was him.

they never "found" jack the ripper however it has been narrowed down to two people - perhaps both of them did it as Jacks motive changed halfway through one of the men had the removed body parts (and other body parts) in glass jars at his home and one of the men had some clothing/cloth that had blood on it that matched cloth from a crime scene

I've encountered Peter Sutcliffe and Ronnie Kray when visiting Broadmoor Hospital. I was about 10years old and my single mother (my father passed away 10 days after my 8th birthday) had started a penpal friendship with another patient (there because he was a danger to himself)... To this day I still have no idea why me, obv a child at the time, was even allowed in that place. My strongest memory was sitting in the visitation room which was an open room with tables set up, I had got bored so had started walking figure eights around some empty tables when my mother pulled me aside and I overheard her penpal quietly say to her "Keep the lad away from that guy, he's a beast." - at the time I didn't really process the danger of those words and I do not know who he was referring to.

[@johnsmith8906]

A good thing for your mother doing that. Most people don't understand about patients in secure hospitals is the majority of those there are not the infamous killers in the headlines. Most are people who are either in prison (Sometimes for relatively minor crimes) whose illness has made them too hard to handle for the prison authorities or whose self harm has become unmanageable by prison authorities and less secure wards.
