Crimes That Shook Britain (West Country)

Murder of Joanne Yeates Landscape architect Joanna Yeates, 25, disappeared on 17 December 2010, following a night out with colleagues.  The last CCTV footage of Joanna showed her in a Tesco Express at around 8:40pm. 

Following a huge manhunt, Joanna’s frozen body was eventually discovered on a snowy roadside verge that Christmas morning. The murder investigation was one of the larges ever undertaken in the Bristol area, dominating the news. 

On 20 January her Dutch neighbour Vincent Tabak, 32, was arrestedfor murder. He was obsessed with violent sex and pornography.  In October 2011, after being found guilty of strangling Joanna, Vincent Tabak was jailed for live, to serve a minimum of 20 years. 

The Wests Married couple Fred and Rose West tortured, raped, and brutally murdered scores of young women unlucky enough to end up at their Gloucester house. 

The victims were dismembered, and many buried in the family home. The Wests’ decades of depravity were only uncovered in February 1993, following a tip-off. 

Fred West hanged himself in his cell on New Years Day 1995 while awaiting trial for 12 murders. That November, Rose West was convicted of 10 murders and given a whole-life tariff. 

Carnkie Killings  The killings shocked the Cornish hamlet of Carnkie in 2000. Lee Ford, 33, had told friends his wife Lesley, 36, had left him. Now she and her children - Sarah-Jane, 17, Ann-Marie, 16, Steven, 14, and Craig, 13 - had been found in the shed, two in a field six miles away. 

All had been garotted with a rope.  Ford was arrested and pleaded guilty to murder. He gave no motive but the court heard he’d had a sexual relationship with Sarah-Jane. Ford was jailed for life. 

Murder of Becky Watts In February 2015, schoolgirl Becky Watts, 16, vanished from the Bristol home where she lived with her dad and step-mum. 

After a huge police search, her stepbrother Nathan Matthews and his girlfriend Shauna Hoare were arrested for murder - to the horror of Becky’s family.  During the trial, Nathan claimed he’d killed Becky by accident, trying to scare her. But the court heard Becky was suffocated and stabbed in an alleged sexually motivated kidnap plot. 

The couple put Becky’s body in their car boot, driving home hours later. They used a power saw to cut up her body, bagged it and arranged to store it in a shed.  Matthews, 28, was convicted of Becky’s murder and sentenced to life, with a minimum term of 33 years. Hoare, 21, got 17 years after being convicted of manslaughter. 

Christopher Halliwell When Sian O’Callaghan, 22, went missing after a night out in Swindon, in March 2011, police soon suspected taxi driver Christopher Halliwell. 

His car was caught in CCTV close to where she was last seen. After his arrest, Halliwell led police to Sian’s semi-naked body dumped on a country road. She’d been stabbed to death. 

He then confessed to killing Becky Godden-Edwards, 20, who’d disappeared in January 2003, and led them to her shallow grave nearby.  At Bristol Crown Court, Halliwell pleaded guilty to murdering Sian. And, after a separate trial, he was convicted of murdering Becky and handed a whole-life term. 

Eunice Spry Known as Britain’s most evil mother, for over 19 years Eunice Spry abused three foster children, viciously beating, starving them and making them live in a barn.

As a toddler, Spry’s adopted daughter was made to eat cat food, and even her own vomit, at their Tewkesbury home.  After Spry moved the family to an isolated farmhouse, a 10-year-old was tied by his feet to Spry’s van and dragged at speed across a field. 

She forced sticks down the children’s throats and scrubbed them with sandpaper.  When one found the courage to speak out, Spry was arrested and found guilty of 26 charges, including unlawful wounding and assault occasioning ABH.

Initially jailed for 14 years, reduced to 12, Spry was freed after serving half her sentence.

And why should gay people like me support the miners? Because miners dig for coal, which produces power, which allows gay people like you to dance to Bananarama till 3 o'clock in the morning.

ROSE WEST

ROSE WEST

1953

English serial killer, married to Fred West, House of Horrors

            Fred West, 28, was married to Rena Costello, and had a stepdaughter Charmaine and a daughter Anne Marie when he met Rose Letts, aged 15, at a bus stop in 1969. Fred had already committed murder before he met Rose.

            Rose moved in with the family, Rena disappeared in 1971 (most likely murdered) and Rose and Fred married in 1972. Charmaine, aged 8 was killed by Rose when Fred was in prison for theft. Fred took sexy photos of Rose and put them in the papers to attract male clients, and would watch them have sex through a peep hole. Rose spent most of her marriage pregnant, only five of her children were Fred’s, three others were her clients.  

            Fred raped, tortured and murdered his victims, including his own daughters. Rose helped him kidnap young women off the street, held them down whilst her husband raped and killed. The couple buried their victims around their 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester home. In 1992, Fred was arrested for accusations for raping his daughter, aged 13 and Rose was arrested for child abuse. The case collapsed due to their daughter being too afraid to testify in court. The younger children were removed from their custody and were placed into Foster care.

            Investigation took place after learning that the West daughters have disappeared, including their daughter Heather (who stood up to Fred). The police started to dig up the Cromwell Street garden. Fred was arrested in 1994 and was charged with 12 murders (he said he killed 30) and ended up killing himself in his cell in 1995 before he faced court.

            Rose was found guilty of killing 10 young girls including her daughter and stepdaughter and was given 10 life terms and will never be released. She showed no sign of grief or remorse, and has since appealed against her convictions.  

            The West’s family home was demolished in 1996 and is now a public walkway.

Thinking about the au where Dick really did adopt Jason and baby Jay ends up being raised by the whole Titan team. Those are his big siblings!!! They have a very elaborate schedule for has him when, whose picking him up from where, who's apartment he's sleeping in, ect. Jason doesn't feel the need to be the emotional support in the field so he gives up Robin willingly and is just their civilian brother with insane training. Villains think he's an easy mark but no one who has ever tried has been found. This au is very important to me personally and lives deep in heart.
