“Some women,” writes Helena Kennedy, “feel strangely flattered at being chosen by such men, as though they had been singled out from the ordinary run of womankind.”Popular culture sometimes represents male serial killers as criminal geniuses or almost as heroes. This explains why men such as Frederick West and Ian Brady seek a partner in crime.What the women get out of such relationships is a feeling of being elevated above the rest of their sex, presumably a heady sensation for a disturbed 15-year-old such as Rosemary Letts. But the sense of power they gained from subduing and exploiting their victims was only temporary. For serial killers all their relation-ships end in death, a chilling reminder of their underlying inadequacy. Jeffrey Dahmer, a lonely white man, murdered and occasionally ate the black and South- East Asian men he picked up in bars in Milwaukee, thus literally incorporating the feared and desired “other”. In the West case the couple seem to have kept their victims alive, bound and gagged, for days at a time.Peter Sutcliffe, who came from a stridently masculine family in which to be a “cissy” was the worst insult, projected the weakness he feared in himself on to women’s bodies and ritually destroyed them.

This is the real, abiding horror of the serial killer: chronically insecure, they enjoy the sensation of having others in their power. Unable to see other people as fully human, they treat them as objects to be used, exploited and disposed of at will. The mutilation which follows death, as well as aiding disposal, is a graphic illustration of the way in which the victims have been dehumanised. For instance, Peter Sutcliffe’s purpose in striking his victims on the head with a hammer was to disable them; the mutilations to the torso that followed were almost certainly the true focus of each attack.What distinguishes serial killers is a catastrophic inability to make healthy adult relationships.

Indeed there is a sense in which murder, for these killers, is merely a by-product of, or an attempt to conceal, the purpose for which they selected their victims in the first place. Many people simply stopped reading reports from the trial, unable to stomach the picture that was emerging.The West case also proves to us, if proof were needed, that serial killers are not charismatic characters like Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs or the fiendishly cunning Temple Brooks Gault in Patricia D Cornwell’s best-selling forensic thrillers.The term serial killer is in itself something of a misnomer. As David Canter points out, it is not the fact that they repeat their crimes that marks these criminals out; most lawbreakers, from burglars to credit-card fraudsters, operate in a cycle of repetition. The final victim was Shirley Robinson, 18, who vanished in May 1988. The remains of all nine were found at Cromwell Street.HOW do we perceive all this? The natural human reaction to the account of what happened to these girls and women that emerged in Winchester Crown Court is one of sick horror. Four years later, 17-year-old Alison Chambers, who visited the Wests in Cromwell Street, failed to turn up for work. The couple’s own daughter, Heather, disappeared in June 1987 when she was 16.

Juanita Mott, 18, lodged at Cromwell Street and was not seen again after April 1975. Therese Siegenthaler, a Swiss student, vanished in April 1974 after setting out to hitch-hike to Wales and take a ferry to Ireland.Fifteen-year-old Shirley Hubbard disappeared in November that year after leaving the Debenham’s store in Worcester where she was doing work experience. Lucy Partington, a 21-year-old student, disappeared a month later after visiting a friend in Cheltenham. Fifteen-year-old Carol Ann Cooper, who had been taken into care by Worcestershire County Council, was last seen getting on a bus in November that year.

But while he was away, Rosemary murdered her seven-year-old stepdaughter, Charmaine. When Frederick was released from prison, he helped her dispose of Charmaine’s body and the couple’s murder spree got going in earnest, sometimes involving victims who had been drawn to the lodging-house-cum-brothel in Cromwell Street, sometimes girls picked up away from the house.Lynda Gough, 19, vanished in April 1973 after babysitting for the West children. David Canter suggested last week that the couple probably told each other their victims enjoyed the sexual ordeals which eventually led to murder: “My guess is that the Wests would have discussed it with themselves along the lines of everybody having a good time,” he said.Given that detectives may not yet have uncovered the full extent of the Wests’ crimes, it is quite possible that they killed together before Frederick West was sent to prison for nine months in November, 1970. Within months she was pregnant; her parents put her into care and urged her to have an abortion but her 16th birthday intervened and she moved into a cramped, dirty caravan with Frederick and his daughters.The couple’s first child, Heather, was born in Midland Road, Gloucester, in 1970, by which time Frederick and Rosemary were already picking up teenage girls and taking them home for sex. Rosemary later claimed she had already been raped twice by strangers when she met Frederick. “We couldn’t understand what a man with two children wanted with a 15-year-old child,” said Rosemary’s mother, Daisy, displaying astonishing naivety.

The reaction to Mackenzie Phillips’ detailed account of her sexual relationship with her father, John Phillips, has been explosive, and some of the strongest statements have come from her family.

Once a fixture on the red carpet and a staple of the daily news cycle, Paris Hilton has recently all but disappeared from the American consciousness.
