Dennis Nilsen:Serial Killer Dennis Nilsen is often referred to as “Scots worst serial killer”, or “The Muswell killer”. As we go through this paper it will explain what kinda horrific mutilations that Dennis would do to his victims, before and after he would kill them.

In most of the murders Dennis would put the bodies under the floorboards later to be burned out back in his flat behind his house, but that luxury ran out when he had to move to a little attic flat in North London.But it didn't not stop Dennis from killing instead of being able to burn them like he was used to the monster would dismember the bodies he would cut them into little chunks and flush them down the toilet to dispose of them. Of the victim’s Dennis dismembered and flushed down the drain “Archibald Graham Allen” has the biggest effect by his death that I have researched. Dennis did not only mess with his family, but he mortally horrorified his lover and the son that they made together. If you want more information on that story it's on google just type in “Dennis Nilsen killed my father” it is not the one that says introduction it's the one above that one its an amazing story that would give you a-lot of the of details on Dennis
