Oh yes I forgot about Albert Fish. The injuries he gave to his victim Billy Gaffney who was only about 4 at the time are some of the sickest I’ve ever read.

Babynut1 · 13/05/2019 11:37

The other day I read a story about a woman in South Wales who had been abused by her grandad from a very young age, he got her pregnant in her early teens and carried out an abortion on her using a coat hanger.
I think it’s quite possibly the most abhorrent thing I’ve ever read.
He’s in prison now having recently been convicted.
I’ve read loads of stories and books on true crime but this just shocked me to the core.
I hope the young woman can move on with her life after what that sick bastard did to her 😔

mayde · 13/05/2019 12:19

Oh my Albert fish! What a fucking monster! I actually felt sick and faint reading that!

One of the most vilest things I've ever heard.

That poor little baby!

Mississippilessly · 13/05/2019 13:19

For self preservation I'm not going to Google Albert Fish

hardyloveit · 13/05/2019 13:54

Yes I think people forget about Albert fish as his crimes happened a long time ago but what a sick sick bastard he was!!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/05/2019 14:41

There was case where I'm from (Liverpool) where 3 people burned to death back in around 94-95. The victims came running out of their house on fire. This was witnessed by their own children and children playing in the street. That has always stayed with me. Those poor poor children. I often wonder how they're doing now

Teghan Skiba.

No argument against the death penalty has ever been strong enough to counter my desire for her torturer to disappear from the world.

FishCanFly · 13/05/2019 15:22

Not British. When I went to university in my hometown, there was a guy in a year above, who hired a hitman to murder his parents and brothers. Father was killed, one brother seriously injured, others got away. He got 25 years I think

catinboots99 · 13/05/2019 17:02

Reeva Steenkamp. I watched the trial of Oscar Pistorius in real-time. That poor woman and her poor family.

Crinescene · 13/05/2019 17:34

Jeremy Bamber case.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 13/05/2019 17:37

Jeremy Bamber Angry - and him trying to blame his sister for it all, just because she had previously suffered from post-natal depression.

ellesworth · 13/05/2019 17:41

Dee Dee and Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Tbh in some ways I can't blame her.

MITCHELL33 · 13/05/2019 17:41

David McGreavy sick beyond belief.

Ellabella989 · 13/05/2019 17:42

Andrei Chikatilo. One of the worst serial killers of children there’s ever been

mollysshadow · 13/05/2019 17:43

Bamber's sister was schizophrenic.

babyno5 · 13/05/2019 17:48

This one which was local to us. Both the murderer and victim were at my children's school

Any crimes about children and animals appall me. A dead greyhound was found in a river which was stuffed with drugs - that sickened me. The body of a young lad who was 'street-wise' was found amongst rubbish - he'd been tortured before being killed, presumably for a snuff movie. People like Jimmy Saville.

I don't know how the police keep their faith in the human race when they see so much of this.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 13/05/2019 17:50

Yes you're right mollysshadow - my mistake.

In any case, he tried to pin the murders on her due to her mental health problems.
