Rosemary West

Rosemary West was born in Barnstaple. After her parents split up, she spent time with her father, who repeatedly sexually abused her. She met Fred West, a man who had already killed two girls, and, with Rose, would kill ten more, usually tenants at their house, but family members too. Fred West killed himself in prison. Rose was initially dealt a life sentence of at least twenty-five years, but it was later amended to a complete life sentence. Along with Myra Hindley, she is the only British murderess denied any hope of release.
