Fred and Rose West: Reopened on ITV1 explores unearthed evidence about the crimes of the UK’s most heinous serial killers.
Presented by Sir Trevor McDonald, a team of investigators explores attempts to prove the Wests were responsible for many more murders than just the 12 they were suspected of.
Fred West committed suicide before he was brought to trial, but his wife Rose was convicted of 10 murders in 1995.
Shockingly, it was Rose that took the lead in the crimes she committed with her husband, Fred.
Criminologist Jaye Woodward said this fact was what left investigators stunned when trying to crack the case.
“Based on the fact that men are almost always the dominant partner in serial-killer relationships, many people believed Rose would surely have been, at worse, complicit under coercion, possibly covering for her husband who carried out the murders,” she wrote in her book, Making a Monster.
