New clues point to marriage of British rapists and serial killers

The House of Horrors symbolizes one of the worst and most sadistic sex crimes of the 90s in Great Britain. Fred Yes Rose West, a couple with seven children, were serial killers, perverse sexual predators from his own family, who in their crimes included his ex-wife, two of his daughters, young people who stayed at the Gloucestershire house as retirees and whom they occasionally met. They kidnapped, tortured, raped, killed and dismembered.

This was the end of their daughter, Heather, who died in 1987. In all, nine women and a boy, including Rena, Fred’s ex-wife, and their 8-year-old daughter Charmaine. appeared buried in the garden, in the basement and under the floor of their houseand Gloucestershire.

The ’25 Cromwell Road’ in Gloucester has been demolished by authorities to eradicate the size of urban ghosts. But the story of Freddy and Rose West, who had seven children between them, is not over.

Her children were regularly sexually abused by Fred West, a perverted and sadistic murderer, who ended up committing suicide.

His wife Rose, a former prostitute, complies life imprisonment for participating in horrific crimes, torture and sadistic acts. He hanged himself on January 1, 1995, at age 53, in his Birmingham prison cell. It had written there: “Freddy, the serial killer of Gloucester”. He was on trial for 12 crimes but admitted to committing 20 more.

The return of horror

But 25 years later, the horrors of Fred West and his wife reappear. Police, searching under a cafe for a suspected victim of serial killer Fred West, found “six holes” or holes in Gloucester on Tuesday. Excavations will start on Wednesday.

It is believed that the blue clothes detected by a television crew at the scene could belong to Mary Bastholm, who disappeared in 1968 at just 15 years old.

“Two gaps or holes were discovered by a production team working on a documentary. Four more have since been discovered by forensic archaeologists, ”said Gloucestershire Police Chief Detective Inspector John Turner.

He said one of the holes was discovered by a detector dog in a toilet block in the café’s basement.

Archaeologists were conducting exploration work at Gloucester’s Clean Plate Cafe, linked to the disappearance of Mary Bastholm.

Freddy West was previously suspected of his disappearance. He confessed to his son before his suicide.

Unexpected discovery

“Officers were called to a cafe in Gloucester by a production company, which was filming a documentary,” Gloucestershire police said. They reported how they found possible evidence, suggesting that a body could be buried on the property.

The force said in a statement that people had previously linked the building to Mary Bastholm’s disappearance. Mary was 15 when she was reported missing on January 6, 1968 and has never been found. Police were seen removing items from the cafe on Tuesday, including several wooden doors.

Constable Turner said excavation work would begin after security checks, as asbestos (a mineral that can be toxic to humans) was found behind the tiles a few days ago.

“Under the surface of the concrete and the tiles, there is a void, a hole in the ground, which is an anomaly. What the GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) won’t say is what’s in that void. But what he says is that there is a hole or a void in the ground ”, declared the inspector.

A police tent has been set up outside the Clean Plate cafe on Southgate Street in Gloucester.

The officer said the six holes would be dug “methodically and meticulously, one at a time,” with all the soil removed and checked. The “painstaking process” is expected to take about two weeks.

The blue dress parade

One of the finds presented to police was a photo, taken by the production company, of what appeared to be blue material, buried in an area of ​​the basement. Mary was wearing a blue coat when she disappeared.

“The production company put in an endoscope and found a grainy image of what looked like blue to me,” Constable Turner said.

“The significance of this is that when Mary went missing in 1968, she was wearing a blue coat and a blue and white dress and had a blue bag with her.”

The blue material “has not been confirmed” and “there was no need for us to do an additional litter,” Officer Turner said.

“The search has been slow since the cafe is in an ancient cemetery that dates back to Roman times,” he added.

Police will question Rose West, who is serving a life sentence for 10 murders, on the streets to find out how Mary Bastholm went missing, who disappeared 53 years ago.

West was a customer where Mary worked as a waitress. Meanwhile, the police search the cafe for that dogs can detect human remains. At least 39 police officers led by three archaeologists are working on the site, half a kilometer from the House of Horrors.
