Dennis Nilsen, is a man who in the 1980’s would be uncovered as the most prolific serial killer in British history. A civil servant who’s extraordinary behavior would see him named with cruel irony “The Kindly Killer”, but was this murder of young men driven by nature or nurture and was the Kindly Killer born to kill? Throughout his killing spree which lasted from 1978 to 1983, Nilsen committed a minimum of 12 murders and was sentenced to life imprisonment on the 4th of November 1983.
