In the fourth episode of this series, British crime writer Martina Cole examines the life and times of female serial killer Rosemary West. Rosemary West was born in Barnstaple and, after her parents split up, 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 lodgers at their house, but family members too. Fred West killed himself in prison. Rose was originally subject to a life sentence of at least twenty-five years, but it was later amended to mean life, so that, with Myra Hindley, she is the only British murderess denied any hope of release.
