News about Rosemary West

Throughout Rose's seven-week trial, I stayed through every day. She was found guilty of ten murders and was told she would die in prison. It was a case in which the word 'evil' was redefined for me. What the victims went through – how they were assaulted, tortured, and raped before being killed and dismembered – was horrifying. Many books have been published on the West case as well as numerous TV documentaries. The killers and those that murdered have concentrated mainly on the murders and those who murdered. However, there is another group of victims whose stories are not widely reported. These are the West children (all pictured right), brought up in the most depraved and dysfunctional family imaginable such as Mae (left), Barry (inset left) and Stephen (inset right)

Marian Partington (right), now 75, who lives in Oxford, talks about how she wrote to Rose West in a BBC podcast Fortuity: Stories from the Front Line. Lucy (left), 21, was in the final year of her English Literature degree at the University of Exeter on December 27, 1973, but it was 20 years before her family found out what had happened to her. During Rose's appeal, Marian felt 'rage' but realized she didn't want to hold on to that emotion for as long as she did.

I knew who was under the black balaclava because he took it off, showed me his face, and groped when he pulled the trigger on my lover. BANG! Got the rifle, grabbing my boyfriend Ron's arm. His sleeve was soaked in blood. 'This one's for Mickey Calvey!' Danny yelled before unleashing the bullet that killed Ron Ron.

ANTHONY DANIELS: I was asked to evaluate a nurse in Grantham Hospital in 1993 for killing four babies. It was feared that she relayed some of Allitt's characteristics, including the tendency to turn up in hospital casualty departments with made-up complaints. For me, it was an anxiety-provoking issue. There was no evidence that the individual I was assessing had done anything wrong on her ward - but what if I passed her as fit and she went on to kill? Myra Hindley (bottom center), one of the most notorious British female serial murderers, and Rosemary West (bottom right), both appear to have become queen bees on their prison wings.

Exclusive: Alice Cutter, a 25-year prisoner who has served only 26 months of a three-year term, had a parole hearing in March and was informed on Monday that she would be released on licence. In June 2020, the neo-Nazi (pictured) was sentenced to prison alongside her ex-partner Mark Jones, and other group members Garry Jack and Connor Scothern. Following an oral hearing, a Parole Board spokesperson said, 'We can announce that a committee of the Parole Board has ordered the release of Alice Cutter.'
