show moreEarly Life and Background
Born in Fraserburgh, Scotland, in 1945, Nilsen's early life seemed unremarkable. He served in the British Army and later worked as a civil servant. However, beneath this veneer of normality lay a troubled individual with deep-seated issues.
The Murders
Nilsen's killing spree began in 1978. His victims were primarily young men, many of whom were homeless or living on the margins of society. Nilsen would lure these men to his home with promises of food, alcohol, or shelter. Once there, he would strangle or drown them, usually under the guise of a twisted form of intimacy.
A Macabre Ritual
What set Dennis Nilsen apart from many other serial killers was his post-murder ritual. After killing his victims, he would bathe and dress their corpses, engaging in acts of necrophilia. Nilsen's gruesome routine included dissecting the bodies and, in some cases, boiling the heads. He attempted to dispose of the remains by burning them or flushing them down the toilet, which ultimately led to his capture.
