Helen Anderson and Danni Howard look into the seriously gruesome crimes of Dennis Nilsen. After a difficult upbringing in Fraserbrugh, Scotland, Dennis joined the Army as a chef, and not soon after leaving for the bright lights of London he puts those skills to use in a horrific way. Expect messed up beginnings, a tale of toilets from Danni and some of the most stomach churning details of all time.
