Caught By Flushing Body Parts Down The Toilet | World’s Most Evil Killers | Real Crime

on the 8th of february 1983 a maintenance worker was called out to a house in london to investigate some unusual smells coming from the properties block drains he was about to make a grisly discovery three or four pieces of flesh and three little bones with a knuckle at each end i thought these bones had probably come from a human hand right under the noses of his neighbors 37 year old dennis nilsson had secretly been killing young men and butchering their bodies he would get rid of the bones and other bits of the organs by flushing them down the loo it sounds in many ways like a very dark horror film nilsson had complete disregard for all the lives he'd taken he knew of course that it was wrong to kill people but he didn't know why it mattered so much why do people make a fuss about it dennis nilsson had carved a sinister place for himself in history as one of the world's most evil killers [Music] dennis nilsson is one of britain's most prolific serial killers over the course of five years during the late 1970s and early 80s he killed at least 12 men confessing to as many as 15 the majority of whom have never been identified [Music] nilsson thought his crimes were simply being flushed from existence by dissecting the bodies piece by piece boiling them and then disposing of them down the toilet but a routine drain inspection at his london home in 1983 would lead to his downfall we found a number of uh interesting items uh which uh can only be established once uh apologists at denver are you satisfied that they are in fact human bodies this is a possibility yes as the public's fascination with the case began to unfurl at a rapid speed author brian masters was determined to understand the man at the heart of the story like everybody else i read in the newspaper that the man had been arrested it was obviously going to be a very interesting case there was a likelihood that somebody might write about it in a sensational way whereas what it really demanded and required was a sober assessment of the state of mind of such a person brian contacted nelson in brixton prison where he was on remand i didn't know that you weren't allowed to write to a prisoner awaiting trial on a murder charge so i wrote to him in innocence complete ignorance really and said that i am interested in the case in which you find yourself involved and i would like to do a study of it but i would not do so without your cooperation and permission he's first left to me the first out of about 2 000 said dear mr masters i passed the burden of my life onto your shoulders a life that began almost 40 years previously dennis andrew nielsen was born on the 23rd of november 1945 in fraserborough scotland he spent the early years of his life in this house according to his mother he was a quiet boy little if anything marked him out from the ordinary after his parents marriage broke down he spent the majority of his childhood living in the nearby village of stricken his father was was largely absent he grew up with his his mother and his siblings and his grandparents and and his family reformed and his mother remarried so he had a lot of disruption he had a lot of chaos but lots of children have that he was isolated from an early age and the isolation found solace in representations of people who weren't alive like pictures in the storybook he cut the picture out and take it home that's what he liked because that picture couldn't argue with him he couldn't say no to him his mother has actually talked about the way that she would cuddle and have you know physical warmth with her other children but she felt repelled by dennis she was quite cold towards him and this was even when he was just a little child so right from the beginning he's learning from his mum that he's different and that he's kind of repulsive in a way due to the absence of his father and the distant relationship with his mother nilsen grew particularly close to his grandfather who worked as a north sea fisherman when he came back from sea the grandfather would take him down to the beach and they'd walk up and down the beach and he'd tell him stories of what happened to sea his grandfather was the one person he could relate to this was the one tactile relationship he had the only person who touched him but in 1951 nilsson lost the one family member that he looked up to the most i firmly hold to this view the death of his grandfather profoundly affected him his mother kind of skirted around the topic and said your grandfather's just not very well and he'll be back and and then when the funeral came around and the body was laid out in in the front room of the house as it often is in these communities at this time he he kind of thought his grandfather was just asleep so you've got this really traumatic event going on in in his life and he's really struggling to make sense of what's going on and he's feeling pretty rejected really because he's got this really close relationship with his grandfather one minute he's there and one minute he's not i'm utterly convinced that his idea of death and his idea of love refused at that point and after that he could only love people who were dead the traditional community he was born into would go on to shape nelson and in particular the way he felt about his own emerging homosexuality he came from an incredibly masculine community where men were alpha males and they were tough and and they got married and they had children and and that was just what you did so i think to come from those beginnings really did kind of shape that sense of shame he felt about his sexuality keen to remove himself from family life in september 1961 15 year old nilsson enrolled in the army he'd had a difficult childhood um and had wanted always to be in uniform it would seem he joined the army he was in the argyle and sutherland islanders in the time that nielsen served in the army he worked as a cook and during this time he learnt how to butcher and and dismember the carcasses of animals and unfortunately this is something that he came to draw upon again while serving in the army nilsson began to show signs of unusual and disturbing behavioral traits he got interested in photography he would get soldiers that he was in the army with to pretend they were dead and he'd he'd photograph them then there's a slow progression towards disaster that anybody with the trained mind in psychological behavior could have spotted very very early on the development that was going forward by december 1972 aged 27 nilsson had left the army and moved to london he enrolled with the metropolitan police as a constable but only lasted a year before joining the civil service and settling in the north of the city unlike the traditional communities in aberdeenshire where he'd grown up london had an emerging gay community and nielsen found himself confronted by the urges that had caused him turmoil in his adolescence i think dennis nilsson's homosexuality is quite a significant factor when we look at his case because although homosexuality became legal during his lifetime there was still quite a considerable stigma attached to it nielsen moves to london a very vibrant very busy part of the uk and this is perhaps the place where he feels loneliest he's a gay man he's frequenting gay bars and pubs and is part of that scene but he can't form anything more than a one night stand and i think that really does affect him quite badly in november 1975 30 year old nilsen did manage to settle down and moved in with a man called david gallikin but after 18 months the relationship began to fizzle out i think this is really significant because i think he's come to the conclusion that he quite likes having somebody else around the flat he likes having a companion to spend time with and nielsen's a bit of a narcissist so he likes having someone around who will kind of pander to him and and reinforce him and support him in that way so what he's got now is a void there's a gap in his life he's had a relationship and he wants another one but unfortunately he's not the kind of person who can develop a relationship at a normal pace so so this is where we see things start to go spectacularly wrong lonely and desperate for affection nilsson's lust for company would soon turn deadly on december the 29th 1978 he met a 14 year old boy called stephen holmes and nilsson knew there was only one way to guarantee his latest lover would never be able to leave him stephen holmes was a very young boy and he was trying to get himself something to drink at a pub in cricklewood nilsson offered to to help out with the drink and then brought him back to his flat stephen holmes was never seen again in a desperate attempt to stop him from leaving nilsson murdered the 14 year old boy by strangling him with a tie before drowning him in a bucket of water it was the beginning of a familiar pattern for nilsson essentially he would frequent the gay pubs and gay bars and would meet men that he found attractive he would meet men that he wanted to form relationships with and they would go back to nelson's place his chosen victims not necessarily all homosexual but all vulnerable i think you could say or susceptible to somebody offering them a bit of comfort or or a meal or a drink or whatever but he obviously had a tendency to go for handsome young men or people who made themselves available to at least just hang out with him for a while but he didn't have the social skills to maintain a normal relationship at a normal pace in a way that wouldn't send people running for the hills so the only way to keep people there was to kill them with stephen nilsson initiated what would go on to become a familiar ritual for him the modus operandi of dennis nilsson was very similar for most of his victims they would be plied with drink he would have a tie by the time the victim was now drunk almost comatose going to sleep he would put the tie round his neck and strangle him that way and if they were unconscious but not dead then he would drown them in a bath or a bucket after that he would get himself a drink light a cigarette and then spend the next few hours looking after the body he would get them out and he would sit and watch television with them he would clean up the bodies he would clean it dry it dress it put it comfortably in a chair he would speak to the corpse in the chair these were his pretend friends so what we've got going on here that there isn't like massive sexual depravity what he was creating was a picture of domesticity he would sit there and watch television with them um so he's killing for company but in in the most grotesque way it sounds in many ways like a very dark horror film the way that he behaved and i think that was part of the fascination with him which exists to this day dennis nilsson's murderous career would continue undetected for five years i think one of the reasons dennis nilsson got away with it for so long was that even at that time which is post the legalization of homosexuality the disappearance of young men who were gay was not treated with the same amount of respect and energy as the police i think would treat it nowadays when we look at the time that nielsen's in london i think homosexuality still is very much in the shadows at that time so there are particular parts of london and where the gay scene is happening but it's still quite underground it's still something that's seen as a cd nilsson's private social life was in stark contrast to his public one working as a civil servant all the time that he's carrying out these killings he's holding down a perfectly normal job and occasionally he has to take a day off work to dismember the body his colleagues at work would have no idea that dennis nielsen taking a day's sick leave was actually carrying out the hiding of a crime all of us to some extent are two people there's the one we display we show to even family and friends and there's a secret one which we only ever admit to ourselves and we try to keep it well well hidden when the other self came to the fore it took possession of him he was possessed by this other self and he could not prevent that other self behaving the way he wanted to there are quite a lot of different factors that influence nielsen's journey towards serial murder but i think it was all rooted essentially in a sense of shame um he didn't like who he was um the person that he was wasn't someone who was socially acceptable so he spent his entire life trying to become somebody else and and i think that's what's at the root of all his problems by february 1983 37 year old nilsson had moved home and was living in a top floor flat on cranley gardens in muswell hill north london after residents complained about the drains being blocked a plumber was called in to investigate and they found what looked like bits of flesh nilsen suggested that could be somebody had flushed their kentucky fried chicken out or something like that and that would be the explanation for little bones and flesh but the plumber wasn't so sure and the following morning february the 9th 1983 he called the police detective chief inspector peter j remembers that day well my phone rang and it was peter slade the uniform inspector in charge that particular day and he said to me could you possibly come up here he said i've got a bit of a problem i'm not sure what i've got but i'd like you to see it and he showed me a drain with an inspection plate cover open and he pointed out that some bits of flesh had been hauled out of the drain at the bottom so i said well let's have another haul around inside the drain get some anything else that's in there and the scenes of crime officer that i had with me managed to pull out three or four pieces of flesh each about four inches long an inch wide and three little bones with a knuckle at each end when i looked at them i thought these bones had probably come from a human hand peter took the remains to charing cross hospital where resident pathologist professor david bowen confirmed their suspicions he said it is it's human and um he said by pure luck you've bought brought me a piece of neck off the neck and your victim has been strangled he said there's a clear ligature mark on this piece of flesh most of us think of hair as being hair but different parts of the body the hair is quite different when you look at it down the microscope and so the pathologist in the nielsen case was identifying that this piece of skin had hair that fitted with being from someone's neck so despite the difficulties of fragments of tissue being found in a situation like a drain identifying the characteristic ligature mark on it it's pointing you very strongly towards strangulation and i looked at him and i said sure you've not been watching too much tv prof and he said no it's as clear as a bell he said this is human so that only meant one thing to me that somebody must have been murdered and flushed down the toilet astounded peter drove back to cranley gardens and waited outside the flat all day until nilsson returned home from work my first introductory words to him were i'm detective chief inspector jay from hornsey police station i've come about your dreams and he looked at me and he said since when have police been interested in block drains i said will you take me up in your flat and i'll tell you and you could smell immediately the um decomposing flesh i said to him look your drains were blocked with human remains and he looked at me and he said oh my god how awful and i just pushed my face a little bit nearer to his and said don't mess about where's the rest of the body and he said okay it's in plastic bags in the front bedroom even at that point his demeanor didn't change at all he was just as he was when he came in the front door he was okay maybe the game's up um and he was relaxed about it so we walked him down to the car i told him i was arresting him so i drove the car back and then steve mccusker was obviously thinking to himself about all the body parts that were in so many different bags and he popped the question to nielsen are we talking here about one body or two and nielsen said neither so i think it's 15 or 16. and i can remember the steering wheel sort of shaking in my hands and it was just the shock of of hearing that instant response well dennis nielsen when he was found out he was very calm and very very cool and very collected because he was an intelligent man he knew that that one day he would be found out that this would all come to light and i think he kind of made his peace with that long before he was actually caught he described the day of his arrest as the day help arrived and i don't think most criminals would describe being finally stopped from their murders or whatever as the day helped arrived on february the 9th 1983 dennis nilsson had been taken into custody human remains had been found flushed down the toilet of his north london flat author brian masters made contact with nilsson whilst he was on remand the police had given him permission to visit nilsson's home in cranley gardens shortly after his arrest after i'd made connection with him i saw the grotty kitchen which was really ghastly and the wardrobes and in the wardrobes were plastic bags or had been plastic bags i think what i remember this was the squalid nature of the kitchen because the pots had grease around the edges and of course one now knows what that grease was it was human flesh that showed me the depths of depravity of which human beings are capable news of the arrest and rumors of what had been discovered in nilsson's flat began to make headlines across the country we had the press descending on us from all different angles even though we had a blackout in the police station which caused chaos the press were at the front door the back door on the phones they were up on my first floor window at my office they had a metal bar up against the window with a microphone on it it just brought everything to a standstill anyway we had a press conference a very very brief one we just told them something to get rid of them if we possibly could then we were able to sort of placate them and promise that we would release what we could when we could and then we were able to get on with our first proper interview with nielsen with limited evidence relating to the victims identities the only way to discover the truth would be to unlock the secrets that lay inside nilsson's mind we had a murderer in custody serial killer we didn't know who it killed and got a clue and we weren't going to find out unless we got the truth out of him we knew that the clock was ticking and that we had to charge him within 48 hours forensic teams searching nilsson's home had taken fingerprints from one of the victims hands it belonged to 20 year old steven sinclair who hadn't been seen since disappearing after a night out with friends on january the 26th 1983. 37 year old nilsson was formally charged with murder on february the 11th 1983. it was precisely 10 o'clock when dennis andrew nilsson was led into the dock to face the bench of three magistrates the charge a single charge of murdering stephen neal sinclair was read over to him there were objections to bail and no application was made and he was remanded in police custody until wednesday the 16th of february at just one minute past 10 he was taken down to be driven away at some speed in a police van nelson immediately began to confess to his crimes one by one he gave us a very very brief description in an hour or so of what had happened we had told him that we were going to go through one victim at a time one victim per interview because we knew it was going to take at least two hours per victim because we had to get everything possible from him so that we could identify the bodies or identify the victims a lot of them we didn't have bodies for so he was able to tell us nicknames occasionally he would give us a name nelson talked about his first victim 14 year old stephen holmes who had murdered in december 1978. he told officers he'd kept stephen's body under the floorboards of his home in melrose avenue for eight months before it began to decay so the problem that somebody like dennis nelson would have is not so much the murder it's what you do with the body afterwards you have to try and dispose of it somehow and that's not easy it's not easy to burn them it's not easy to dismember them it's not easy just to leave them somewhere and hope they're not found he had to find a way to make sure these bodies weren't found so he could carry on with what he was doing nielsen cut steven's body into pieces and then constructed a makeshift bonfire in the garden where he burned the remains of the young boy he got away with it at melrose avenue because he was disposing of the bodies in-house and having these bonfires in the middle of the night like funeral pyres and on the top of those bonfires he'd put rubber tyres to destroy the possibility of the smell of flesh after disposing of stephen holmes's body nilsson went out looking for company once more he confessed to murdering 23 year old canadian tourist kenneth ockendon on december the 3rd 1979 and six months later in may 1980 he struck for a third time killing 16 year old homeless runaway martin duffy nelson kept both kenneth's and martin's bodies in his flat together for as long as he could storing them under the floorboards he would keep them in different parts of his house or in the bath and that's in complete contrast to the normal killer who wants to get rid of the body as quickly as possible who doesn't want to be associated with it who doesn't want any traces of it around one of the 16 interviews that we did on him he was talking about putting yet another body under the floorboards in melrose avenue and i interrupted and i said hold on a minute how many bodies did you have under the floor at any given time and he looked me up and down he said i don't know he said i never did a stock check nilsson confessed to killing at least five other men in 1980 however only one of them 27 year old billy sutherland has ever been identified as nilsson's confession continued he admitted to another four killings in 1981 the last of which was 23 year old malcolm barlow in september relying on the killer's memory of events made the investigation very difficult nielsen would tell us that he had murdered a young man of about 20 years old who had a tattoo around his neck and he'd strangled him and he'd give us a full detailed account of how it all happened but we had absolutely no idea at all as to who he was talking about you can't really charge a prisoner with killing a person unknown we had to be absolutely sure that when we named a victim it couldn't possibly be anybody else that was a mammoth undertaking when he was telling the police confessing some of them he identified by strange memories one he described as a skinhead that he met in the west end another was a young man from northern ireland the omelet boy this is the man who he cooked an omelette for before he killed him one of these victims was identified 27 year old graham allen went missing in september 1982. his son shane levine remembers the day his dad didn't come home i was only seven years old my father was a drug addict he wanted money for drugs and there was a bit of a fight with an altercation and my father was screaming for money through the window my mother said no and my mother's last words was to tell him to never come back again and he left that night and he never came back my mother she was sure that something could happen it was quite a violent relationship and they would often split up or have arguments he would disappear but he would always make contact and this had gone on for weeks months there was no contact and my mother fought the worst at that moment graham had met dennis nilsson on sharksbury avenue in london's west end nilsson invited him back to his flat and [ __ ] graham an omelet before strangling him from behind as he ate parts of graham's body were recovered from nilson's drains i heard my mother screaming as i came down the road going back from school and and the when i got home the police were inside our house and they told my mother some bad news my mom was very upset they told my mother that they had found a skull in north london in this house of horrors and the dental records had identified it as my father the murder of graham allen took place at nilsson's new flat on cranley gardens in muswell hill nilsson had moved there in late 1981 but because his new home was on the top floor he had no way of setting a bonfire so he needed a new way of disposing of his victims he took to cutting up the body pieces boiling them in water and then flushing the remains down the toilet to dismember a body on your own is a very difficult task and it's far easier if you happen to have some skill and knowledge of the anatomy and how to do it i think it's very interesting that he was trained in the army in butchery that sort of skill being able to joint meat would probably be very helpful in identifying the best places to cut into a body to dismember it with the minimum effort possible he was going to great lengths to dispose of the bodies for instance he had a massive size saucepan he could get a whole head in a saucepan boiling it and then breaking up the burns and of course all the flesh was going down the drain getting flushed away never to be found again with the way that dennis nielsen disposed of the remains it obviously created challenges for identification but often if you find a part of a skull or a part of a bone that's clearly human then it points you towards the body being that of a person and identifying characteristics such as teeth maybe old heeled fractures can give you an idea of who it is if you compare that to a missing person we needed his assistance if we came up with an idea as to the possibility of the identity of one particular chap and we got a a photograph we needed nielsen to look at it and say yes or no nelson eventually confessed to 15 murders 12 at his first home in melrose avenue where he burned and buried the remains of his victims and three at his flat in cranley gardens where he boiled and flushed them down the drain but he certainly said to us i think if you hadn't caught me now it wouldn't have been 15 it would have been 150. and i think he was probably right actually peter and his team had the arduous task of preparing for a trial and they had a new problem nielsen's defence team were going to plead insanity if investigators couldn't prove that nilsson knew exactly what he was doing there was a good chance that he may get away with murder as the grizzly facts surrounding the story hit the press the british public were left stunned we found a small piece of the jaw and and some teeth attached to it in the rear garden of the premises at melrose avenue and this morning i found a significant amount of property in particular quite a large consignment of human bones in particular a large piece of thigh bone in the region about six inches once it became clear exactly what dennis nilsson had done there was inevitably a lot of horror first of all these vulnerable young men being taken to his house and killed that was horror enough then there was keeping the bodies for so long another horrific thing then there was boiling up body parts and disposing of bits of them down the toilet and so on another horror thing then there was the sheer scale of the number of murders that he carried out anything that is found is given to one of my exhibit officers and then the item concern will then go to the laboratory for scientific examination is it very small remains that have been discovered so far my new one yes i remember the crime i remember everyone was following that and you know it's a huge story that was breaking throughout britain off these murders that were happening in north london everyone was glued to those gory headlines they wanted to know more and more details dennis nilsson was something out of a completely different world it seemed so the the press reaction the public reaction was one of revulsion but also a kind of horrible fascination as well people often ask me how the country reacted to nielsen and you know what i don't really know i was so busy i was so absorbed in this case that for nine months i was having to eat sleep and drink it i had to focus on it because there was so much there was so much to it and we had a big trial coming up at the old bailey and we got the world's press looking at us we had to get it right and you know what i think we did get it right in a committal hearing on may the 26th 1983 dennis nilsson's trial date was set for october the defense were building a case to prove that nilsson was insane but the enhanced media coverage had produced a trio of key witnesses for the prosecution three young men douglas stewart paul knobs and carl stotter came forward to say they'd been attacked by nilsson starter had met nelson in may 1982 and went back to his flat in cranley gardens for some drinks i fell asleep and i woke up and he was strangling me and um i passed out um after sort of thinking i actually i thought that i'd got caught up in the sleeping bag which he'd warned me about and i thought he was helping me out but he wasn't and anyway i passed out from that and i remember vaguely hearing water running and being carried and i felt very cold and i realized i was in the bath and he was trying to drown me after trying unsuccessfully to murder him nilsson eventually spared carl's life and let him leave the flat two days later it's likely there were many more unreported attacks by nilsson sometimes the people concerned don't report it to the police or say for very good personal reasons that they don't want it pursued and as a result of that the killer then gets to believe that they can get away with stuff and and they carry on and it gets worse and worse and i think dennis nilsson is somebody who might have been caught earlier had people been able to say yes we want to pursue charges but for understandable reasons did not decide to do so gathering evidence from both melrose avenue and cranley gardens police were able to bring charges against nilsson for six of the murders the trial began at the old bailey on the 24th of october 1983. even after the lengthy confessions nelson's defense team had decided to plead not guilty to all the charges against him the defense wanted to plead guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility when we got to the old bailey but we weren't happy about that at all because we had tried to find some sort of personality disorder we had a psychiatrist from king's college in london look at him in depth and he said he couldn't find any evidence of a personality disorder at all well when we look at insanity please essentially we're looking at how much control that person had over their behavior now when you look at some of nielsen's behavior you would think you know automatically well this is the behavior of somebody who isn't normal it's somebody who is a little bit mad but actually he knew what he was doing here was somebody who was not labouring under some kind of psychosis he was intelligent he was articulate he wrote reams and reams of pages about his crimes so so he was very much conscious of what was going on brian masters was not only in the courtroom every day but also had a chance to see how nilsson was coping firsthand i went to see him every day during the trial in the cells underneath the old bailey and the one thing which struck me most about him was this disorder this imbalance that he had no idea that what he'd done was important he knew of course that it was wrong to kill people but he didn't know why it matters so much why do people make it fuss about it psychiatrists on both sides gave their opinions on nilsson's state of mind the court also heard extracts from the extensive interviews conducted by police with nilson and testimony from the survivors it was left to the jury to decide whether or not he had the capability to form an intention to kill and he was found guilty of murder on all counts when the jury came back into the box and the foreman of the jury stood up to give his verdict um there was a feeling in the courtroom that thank goodness that's over we we can go home and be cleansed now we've listened to so much squalid evidence that we feel contaminated slightly so everybody wanted to go home and wash on the 4th of november 1983 sir david croom johnson sentenced dennis nilsson to life imprisonment he would have to serve at least 25 years before he'd be considered for parole in 1994 the home secretary made the decision to change nilsson's sentence to a whole life tariff he died in full sutton prison on the 12th of may 2018. he was 72 years old he knew perfectly well he would be found guilty and he knew he deserved it he knew he should be i think he was secretly relieved that he didn't have to make decisions anymore all the decisions he'd made in the last few years were wrong now in prison decisions would be made for him i just don't understand how this could go on and nobody knowing anything i mean i don't know anybody that he's 10 years of his life and i can't see what was happening to him something must have happened to him because it's not my dentist that's doing it not the boy i knew that's doing these things he's always my son and that's why i want him to know that we're all concerned about him and i just hope he'll get some help to cope with the situation he said justice had finally been served for the family members of nilsson's victims he lost his life in those crimes as well he's not dead but he's imprisoned and our freedom is all we ever have you know we live once in this universe in the eternity of time we live just once and dennis nielsen spent more than half his life in prison over 30 years on it still seems incomprehensible that nilsson was able to operate seemingly unnoticed hidden behind a veneer of normality i think what's probably terrifying about this case is the fact that nielsen was so ordinary you begin to think to yourself how many more of them are they're around how many more dennis nielsen's are there around who are disposing of the bodies of their victims never to be found again the vulnerable young men nilsen specifically targeted slip from this world almost unnoticed and most tragically we may never fully understand why nilsson stole their lives and in many cases their identities a lot of the names of dennis nilsson's victims remain completely unknown to most people today and it was that anonymity that allowed him to continue i did ask him uh why he did it but he had no answer he said i'm sorry all i can tell you is what happened i can't tell you why it happened i've tried i've got closer than anybody else i suspect but uh in the end human behavior is a mystery he was just very very different i've never met anybody like him before in my life i couldn't really get to understand him i mean you deal with people as police officers and you you mentally you stick them in the um evil box or the sort of cry for help box there's always a box you can stick them in in your own mind you make up your own mind about people when you deal with them in the police but nielsen i never got to the bottom of i couldn't understand at all nilsson was a lonely man who appeared to kill for company his murders were purely selfish acts to satisfy his lust for affection the crimes took place almost entirely unnoticed and in a final twist of cruelty many of his victims identities may never come to light the manner in which he desecrated the bodies of his victims denying the families a chance to bury their loved ones is what makes dennis nielsen one of the world's most evil killers
