1
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:07.799
What happens when love turns into something far more sinister.
2
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:12.119
Today we're diving into the disturbing world of Fred and
3
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:17.079
Rose West, a couple whose horrific crimes shocked Britain. Fred's
4
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.559
violent upbringing and dark secrets set the stage for a
5
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:25.120
life of unimaginable cruelty, and when Rose entered the picture,
6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:29.760
things only got worse. Together they unleashed horrors behind closed
7
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.560
doors that would span decades, leaving a trail of victims
8
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.840
and a legacy of fear. But in the end, it
9
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.880
wasn't just their crimes that shocked the world. It was
10
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.520
their betrayal of each other. Let's unravel the terrifying story
11
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.920
of Fred and Rose West. Welcome to ten minute Murder.
12
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.359
If looks can kill, then what can a call and
13
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.760
very public dismissal do. That was the question a husband
14
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.640
facing his wife in the British courts would find out
15
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.719
in the mid nineteen nineties. The man himself was Frederick
16
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:16.159
Walter Stephen West, otherwise known as Fred West. He was
17
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.359
born on the twenty ninth of September nineteen forty one
18
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.799
on a farm in Herefordshire. With a name like that,
19
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.439
I don't have to tell you, it's England. His parents
20
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.280
were Walter Stephen West and Daisy Hannah Hill, and he
21
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.680
was born into a world of extremes. On one side
22
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.840
was his father, a cold and strict disciplinarian, and on
23
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.000
the other side was his mother, a woman forever changed
24
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.599
by the grief of losing other children before she would
25
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.560
have Fred. This made her an overly cautious and protective woman,
26
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:52.959
and one who would spoil her surviving children. But Fred
27
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.319
had a very special place in her heart. He was
28
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.959
her favorite child, the apple of her eye. Fred found
29
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.480
did easier and more fulfilling to stay at home with
30
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.879
her than he did going to school, where he achieved
31
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.560
poor grades and had no friends. He actually left school
32
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.280
at the age of fifteen, and by then he was
33
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.000
barely literate and his only future job prospects were working
34
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.360
on the family farm. He was a socially awkward and
35
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.080
stifled young man, but when he began going out to
36
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.960
clubs with his younger brother John, his true nature would
37
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.680
begin to emerge. Fred would often walk up to women
38
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.960
and begin groping them, usually before knowing or talking to
39
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.639
them beforehand. He later explained his actions by saying, I'm
40
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.360
automatically attracted to beautiful and just start kissing them. It's
41
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.479
like a magnet. Just kiss I don't even wait. When
42
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.280
you're a star, they let you do it. You can
43
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.039
do anything. Okay, he didn't really say that. Someone else
44
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.080
said that, but he later explained his actions. Fred West did,
45
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.039
in a claim that was denied by another of his brothers,
46
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.719
that his view toward women and what was appropriate behavior
47
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.080
towardwards them had already been shaped and warped by this
48
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.599
stage of his life, and the culprit he blamed was
49
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:11.280
none other than his overprotective mother herself. Fred claimed that
50
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.360
his mother had introduced him to sex when he was
51
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.560
only twelve years old. He also claimed that watching his
52
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.039
very own father rape and molest his daughters led him
53
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.319
to believe that this behavior was perfectly normal. However, we
54
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.960
have to take these accounts with the grain of salt.
55
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.319
Fred was also known to be a pathological liar, and
56
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.400
it's possible that he created these events in his childhood
57
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.599
to justify the unbelievably cruel deeds that were to come
58
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.719
further down the line. We do, however, have the hospital
59
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.759
records that can substantiate two major events in Fred's life.
60
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.159
The first happened when he was seventeen years old, he
61
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.319
was involved in a motorcycle accident. Fred was left with
62
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.759
a fractured skull and was unconscious for an entire week.
63
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.960
The second came only two years long later, when Fred
64
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.560
would face the consequences of his actions. While out at
65
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.520
a club with his brother John, Fred approached a young
66
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.280
woman and grabbed her breast. Appalled, the woman turned around
67
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.800
and punched Fred, sending him down two flights of stairs
68
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.120
in the process. Fred ended up with another head injury,
69
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:22.319
and his behavior went from bad to worse. In a
70
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.920
later interview with the police, Fred admitted that since the
71
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.199
age of twelve, he'd been regularly engaging in bestiality with
72
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.439
the animals on the family farm, but that, unfortunately was
73
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.439
not all that Fred was doing. It was in nineteen
74
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:41.480
sixty one that Fred's thirteen year old sister, Kitty, approached
75
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.360
their mother with a chilling and startling confession. It turned
76
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.720
out that Fred had also been abusing his sister, and
77
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.279
she was now pregnant. Fred was then arrested and openly
78
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.399
admitted not only to abusing Kitty, but to many other
79
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.519
young girls in the neighborhood as well. Kitty did dropped
80
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.879
the charges against her brother, but he was kicked out
81
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.040
of the family house all the same. Then, about a
82
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.800
year later, Fred would rekindle an old flame. Her name
83
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.120
was Catherine Costello, and she'd been one of the few
84
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:17.199
women who'd actually appreciated Fred's advances at the clubs. They'd
85
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.959
been in a relationship for a few months before Catherine,
86
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.079
whose nickname was Rena, moved back to Scotland. When Rena
87
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.199
returned to Fred, she was heavily pregnant with another man's child,
88
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.560
but Fred agreed to take her in and raise the
89
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.800
child as his own. They were quickly married, with Fred's
90
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.680
younger brother John, his club buddy, being the only guest
91
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.800
at the wedding. They then moved to Glasgow, where Fred
92
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.920
and Rena would tell everyone that she had suffered a miscarriage.
93
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.240
They then claimed to have adopted young baby Charmain, who
94
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.560
was actually Rena's daughter, but felt the need to explain
95
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.720
why Charmain was half Asian in a way that they
96
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.319
believed didn't reflect poorly on them. This would only be
97
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.439
the beginning of the racial abuse Charmain would experience from
98
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.199
the pair of them for the rest of her life.
99
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:09.560
Charmain was followed by another sister a year later. This time,
100
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.839
Anna Marie was in fact Fred's biological child, but he
101
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.160
treated her exactly the same way he treated poor Charmain.
102
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.560
Using iron bars and a bed bunk, Fred constructed a
103
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.519
cage in the girl's bedroom. They would be forced to
104
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.639
stay in there whenever he was home to keep them
105
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.720
out of Fred's way. He also continued to have long
106
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.720
in numerous affairs with multiple women during the course of
107
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.959
his marriage with Rena, but when Rena found out, instead
108
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.839
of divorcing him, Rena began having an affair of her
109
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.600
own with a man named John McLaughlin. When Fred found
110
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.879
out about Rena's affair, things turned violent. Whenever Fred caught
111
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.319
Rena with John, or even just suspected that she'd been
112
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.639
seeing him, he would beat her. John would often show
113
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.279
up at the home to then confront Fred, and an
114
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.319
uneasy truce settled between them all. Fred moved the fanily
115
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.199
to Gloucester, although it would take Rena a few months
116
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.920
to follow him down there. When she did, though, she
117
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.279
brought with her two teenage girls named Isha McNeil and
118
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.480
Anne McFall. All three women, Fred and the girls lived
119
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.720
together in a small trailer, and Fred quickly began viewing
120
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:21.720
all of the women as his property. Anne was spared
121
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.639
for the moment, but Fred would beat Rena and Aisha.
122
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.279
He also pressured Rena into becoming a prostitute to keep
123
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.720
the family afloat. It's believed that during this period of
124
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:36.519
time he also began sexually abusing young charmain. Desperate, Rena
125
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.360
then called John McLachlin and begged for help. He immediately
126
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.839
agreed to come and get Rena and the girls, but
127
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.879
their plans were foiled by Anne McFall. Upon finding out
128
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.040
that Rena and Aish were running away, Anne reported them
129
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.959
to Fred. He then raced to the meeting spot and
130
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.519
told Rena that they were free to go, but the
131
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.560
girls were staying with him. Reluctantly, Rena agreed, and she
132
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.519
left with the warning that if she were to ever return,
133
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.839
Fred would kill her. In July nineteen sixty seven, the
134
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.240
then eighteen year old Anne was eight months pregnant with
135
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:15.240
Fred's child when she suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Only a
136
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.759
month later, Rena was officially back in Fred's life and
137
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.160
living in the family trailer again. This new attempt at
138
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.639
rekindling Their relationship would only last for a year, and
139
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:30.040
then Rena left for Glasgow again. Two years later, Fred
140
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.399
approached a young woman sitting alone at a bus stop.
141
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.399
Her name was Rosemary Lett's and she had only just
142
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.960
turned fifteen years old when Fred began making advances. She
143
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.159
dismissed him at first. She even at one point believed
144
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.240
he was just a homeless man, but she softened when
145
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.919
Fred weaved a story about being a poor widower. Rose
146
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.919
then began spending more time at the West family trailer,
147
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.360
and by the time she was sixteen years old, she
148
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:59.320
was pregnant with Fred's child. There were, however, rumors that
149
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.720
the father of the child was in fact her very
150
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.919
own father, who had been diagnosed to schizophrenic. Rose ran
151
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.679
away to live with Red permanently, and shortly after her daughter,
152
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:14.399
Heather Anne West, was born. Unlike with his previous relationships,
153
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.559
Fred had met his match. Instead of finding herself the
154
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:22.399
victim of physical abuse, Rose became his partner. Together, they
155
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.120
would dole out punishments on the girls, with Rose's punishments
156
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.240
being the most severe. She was even known to turn
157
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.000
on Fred and at least on one occasion came after
158
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.759
him with a knife. But in the summer of nineteen
159
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:38.200
seventy one, Fred was actually behind bars, and during that
160
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:43.519
time firstborn daughter, Charmain, disappeared. Rose proclaimed that she'd gone
161
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.200
to live with Rena in Scotland, and when Fred was
162
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.559
released from prison, he corroborated Rose's story. He even told
163
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.240
Anna Marie that Rena had intentionally taken Charmain and left
164
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.840
Anna Marie quote she wouldn't want you love You're the
165
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.480
wrong color. But Rena quickly realized that her daughter was
166
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:04.360
missing and continued to visit Fred and Rose in the
167
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.240
hopes of tracking her down. It was during one of
168
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.200
these trips that Rena also disappeared. Fred and Rose were
169
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:14.600
married only six months after Rena vanished, even though Fred
170
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:18.720
was still technically and legally married to Rena. Months later,
171
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.960
and Rose was pregnant again. While the family moved into
172
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.799
a house on Cromwell Street. Upstairs, Rose would have her
173
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.720
very own room, outside of which was a red light.
174
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.519
If the light was on, she was not to be
175
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.360
disturbed and was more than likely busy selling her services
176
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.519
to both men and women. When Rose's father found out
177
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:42.879
that his daughter was prostituting herself, he began visiting her too,
178
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:47.720
Unlike with Rena, Fred wasn't pressuring Rose and to selling herself.
179
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.840
Rose was doing so because she wanted to and had
180
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.039
come to an agreement with Fred. They would even sometimes
181
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.840
work together, or Fred would also watch through peep holes
182
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:01.759
he drilled into the walls. By nineteen eighty three, Rose
183
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.600
had eight children, and at least three of which had
184
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.960
been fathered by her clients. Fred raised them all as
185
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.639
his own, but all of the children in the household
186
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.879
were subjected to the same treatment. When they reached the
187
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.039
age of seven, each child was presented with a list
188
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.639
of chores to do to keep both Fred and Rose happy,
189
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.000
and it was usually around then that the sexual abuse
190
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:27.240
would begin. When Anna Maria was eight years old, she
191
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.600
was ordered down to the basement and told to strip.
192
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.879
Rose herself then tied the girl to a mattress and
193
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.600
gagged her. Fred then raped her, and when he was done,
194
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.720
Rose followed Anna Maria to the bathroom. She then laughed
195
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.159
and told her, I'm sorry. Everybody does it to every girl.
196
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:48.080
It's a father's job. Anna Maria was also only thirteen
197
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.559
years old when Fred and Rose forced her into prostitution.
198
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.320
In nineteen seventy two, nineteen year old Linda Gough moved
199
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.240
into the family home, believing that she was to be
200
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.480
a live in nanny for the Wests. The very next day,
201
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.840
both Fred and Rose began telling neighbors that they'd fired
202
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.799
Linda for hitting one of the children. In nineteen seventy three,
203
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.960
a fifteen year old girl named carol Ane Cooper went
204
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.440
missing after a trip to the cinema with her boyfriend,
205
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.159
and over the next year and a half, four more
206
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.000
girls would go missing. In nineteen seventy eight, eighteen year
207
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.480
old Shirley Robinson, who'd been living with the Wests, suddenly
208
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.399
vanished as well. According to Rose, Shirley had been eight
209
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.360
months pregnant with Fred's child and had moved back to
210
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:36.240
live with her father in West Germany. In nineteen seventy nine,
211
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.320
sixteen year old Allison Chambers also went missing from the
212
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:44.000
West household, and then Anna Marie ran away. With Anna
213
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.360
Marie gone, Fred turned to his other daughters and said,
214
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.159
I've made you, I can do what I like with you.
215
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.519
While Fred continued to sexually abuse his own daughters, he
216
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.360
spared his sons. The same, However, could not be said
217
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.840
for Rose. Eldest Stephen, was informed in no uncertain terms
218
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.480
that he was expected to have slept with his own
219
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.559
mother by the time he turned seventeen. The children did
220
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.919
what they could to protect each other from the abuse,
221
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.480
but in so many ways there was very little that
222
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:18.200
they could actually do. Heather began showing visible signs of
223
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.279
physical and sexual abuse, and teachers at her school noticed.
224
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.840
When they asked Heather if she was all right, she
225
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.600
told them everything. When the other children came home from
226
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.480
school one day, Fred and Rose told them that Heather
227
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.279
had gotten a job in another country and that she
228
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.639
had already left. They told her that they didn't expect
229
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.360
to be hearing from her anytime. Soon days turned into weeks,
230
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.519
weeks into months and years, and Fred and Rose began quipping,
231
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:49.320
you'll end up under the patio like Heather. Years went
232
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.440
by and the other children in the house believed that
233
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:55.600
the line was just a joke, but that all changed
234
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.720
in nineteen ninety two. By then, rumors about a tape
235
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.480
involving Fred and his third thirteen year old daughter, Louise
236
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.960
led to a visit from the police. Louise corroborated the
237
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.720
rumors about the abuse, which then led the police to
238
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:12.320
interviews with both Fred and Rose. They managed to keep
239
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.919
things together for the most part, but neither of them
240
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.000
could keep their story straight about what happened to Heather.
241
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.720
In early nineteen ninety four, the police showed up at
242
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.679
the family home with a search warrant. As the police
1
