Fred & Rose: The Full Story of Fred and Rose West and the Gloucester House of Horrors

Product Information

New details of Fred and Rose West and the House of Horrors will come to light in a new documentary which will air on TV tonight. In her autobiography, Out of the Shadows, Anna Marie later reflected that her father and stepmother generally viewed all females from the age of "about eight upwards" as "women" capable of—and needing—frequent sexual activity. [96]

April: Thérèse Siegenthaler, (21). A sociology student at Greenwich Community College. Siegenthaler was abducted by the Wests as she hitchhiked from South London to Holyhead. Fred mistook her Swiss accent to be a Dutch one, and always referred to her as either "the Dutch girl" or "Tulip". She was reported missing to Scotland Yard by her family in Switzerland when communication from their daughter ceased. [222] Fred later further concealed Siegenthaler's remains by building a false chimney breast on her grave. Rose became a sex abuser at 13, a murderer at 17 and a fully fledged serial killer while still in her teens. In May 2021, police announced their intentions to excavate the grounds of a café in Gloucester after receiving information that the body of Mary Bastholm may have been buried at this location. This search yielded no human remains. [229] At the time of her disappearance, Bastholm worked at this café and Fred is known to have frequented the premises. [230] [231] Furthermore, he is known to have conducted repair work on the drains of this café in late 1967. [232] [n 7]Initially, Rose was incarcerated at HMP Bronzefield as a Category A prisoner; [199] she was later transferred to HM Prison Low Newton before, in 2019, being transferred to HM Prison New Hall, [200] where she continues to protest her innocence.

She was never reported missing, but her dismembered remains were found buried at the edge of a cornfield between Much Marcle and Kempley in June 1994. Her limbs had been carefully disarticulated, and many phalange bones were missing from her body—likely to have been retained as keepsakes; her unborn child may also have been cut from her womb. [44] Fred initially denied he had killed McFall, but confided to one visitor following his arrest that he had stabbed her to death following an argument. This explanation is inconsistent with the fact that her wrists were found with sections of dressing gown cord wrapped around them, suggesting she had been restrained prior to her murder. [45]

Her trial at Winchester Crown Court began on 3 October 1995. She was tried before Mr Justice Mantell. [180]Ford, Richard; Strange, Hannah (26 February 2008).

At age 17, Fred suffered a fractured skull, a broken arm, and a broken leg in a motorcycle accident. He was unconscious for seven days and walked with braces for several months; [14] because of this incident, he developed an extreme fear of hospitals and became prone to fits of rage. Two years later, Fred suffered a further head injury when a girl he groped on a fire escape outside the Ledbury Youth Club punched him, sending him falling two floors. [15]

Well Rose it's your birthday on 29 November 1994 and you will be 41 and still beautiful and still lovely and I love you. We will always be in love. As police attempted to lead Fred from the hearing, he resisted their efforts, and again attempted to move towards Rose, who again winced and attempted to writhe away from his grasp.

In the book Jane writes: “Rose in her formative years would have grown up believing her father’s behaviour was normal but she was being coached by Bill to share secrets with him that no child should. When she became bored with her sexual explorations of her brothers, and possibly even Bill, she began testing her powers further afield.
