This week we explore the life and crimes of Dennis Nilsen, the seemingly mild mannered civil servant who between 1978 and 1983 murdered at least 12 young men in his homes in North London. What caused Nilsen to kill? Does the answer lie in his childhood? Was he really killing for company as his biographer said? And how many people did Nilsen actually kill? We will attempt to answer all these questions and more in this gripping episode of Murder Tales.
