How many people did Fred West kill?

Answer 1

In her book, My Life Among the Serial Killers, Dr. Helen Morrison says that, "Fred [West] killed at least twelve over the course of two decades, from 1967 to 1987," (Harper Collins hardcover edition, p216). His submissive wife and partner-in-crime, Rosemary West, assisted him with a great deal of the torture, murder, and depraved sexual abuse inflicted upon his victims, including that of their own daughters.

Interestingly enough, while incarcerated, Rosemary West began a romantic relationship with Dave Glover...the bass player from Slade. As Dr. Morrison writes, "They even prepared to be married, and Rosemary proudly announced their strange bond in the British press. And then, suddenly within a week, the marriage was off. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that once Slade heard about the possible prison nuptials, Glover was unceremoniously fired from the band," (pp 226 - 227).
