- Title: She Must Have Known: Trial Of Rosemary West
- Description:
In attending the trial of Rosemary West, and using private papers and personal interviews, the author presents a study of the sexual obession that led to the killing of 12 women and girls by Fred West. In the wake of the horrific detail that has come to light, the book looks at how and why West was driven to serial killing of the most devious kind, resulting in a chain of murders that turned 25 Cromwell Street into a mass burial ground of sexually ravaged human remains, and how an evil psychopath was able to ensnare so many in a web of unseeing complicity. From the Back Cover The trial of Rosemary West was the culmination of one of the century's most notorious murder investigations. The bodies found at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, outraged a nation and led to the arrest of Frederick West for the killings of twelve young women. When he then hung himself on New Year's Day 1995, he seemed to have cheated justice. The subsequent trial of his wife for the same crimes was a media sensation. From his courtroom vantage point, Brian Masters examines the evidence put to the jury and the facts behind the case. In this psychologically acute and legally penetrating account, he looks at how and why an evil psychopath was able to ensnare so many in a web of unseeing complicity.
