The Horror of Cromwell Street Gerald Burns

The Horrors at Cromwell Street: Read about the depraved sexual crimes of Fred and Rose West who used the cellar in their home as torture chamber to inflict pain on their victims before dismembering their bodies.

From the outside 25 Cromwell street looked like the perfect home for lodgers. That changed in 1994 when the police arrived the home of Fred and Rose West with their search warrant. Within days the dismembered and decapitated remains of over seven women were retrieved from different parts of the house. Many of them still bore signs that showed they had been sexually tortured before they were killed. These were just some of the one discovered at Cromwell street. Other bodies were found buried in Fred's hometown of Much Marcle where he had buried some of his earlier victims.
