Method: They were first strangled with either a tie, a flex or his hands. If this didn't work, they were then drowned to make sure they were dead. They were then given a bath and put to bed. The first twelve were disposed of under the floorboards. Every so often, Nilsen would take them out of their hiding place and watch television with them, and sometimes he would sleep with them.

The last three were strangled and drowned as usual, but there were no floorboards in his new house to hide them under. So using skills he had learnt in the army, he chopped them up into small bits and flushed them down the toilet. Some of the bones he threw out with the rubbish, and the rest of them he kept in a tea chest in his house, and other recepticles. He boiled the heads.

Sentence: In 1983 he was charged with the murder of 6 of the 7 identified men and the attempted murder of Stewart and Nobbs. He received life with a recommendation of a minimum of 25 years.

Interesting facts: The reason that Nilsen was found out was that the pieces of body he had flushed down the toilet had blocked the drains of the flats he lived in, and a workman was called out to fix them. He found all the remains and became suspicious. But Nilsen had removed them by the time the police arrived. However, he had missed a small bone with a bit of flesh attached. When the police asked him about the drains, he at first pretended to not know anything about it, but very quickly he gave in and told them everything.

Nilsen's memories of the events varied considerably. Some he remembered in minute detail. Others he could only just remember that they had happened at all. He says that he attempted to kill 9 more men that are not listed above. He also killed 7 more unidentified men in Melrose Avenue.

Carl Stotter

Between 1978 and 1983, Dennis Nilsen, also known as the "Kindly Killer," murdered and mutilated at least 15 men and boys. Nilsen kept most of his victims' decaying remains, often engaging in sexual acts with the decomposing corpses. Nilsen's bloody rampage came to an end after his drainpipes became clogged with entrails, hair, and other various bits of human remains. Before that, however, there was the one that got away.

In late 1981 Carl Stotter, a 21 year old drag queen, went home with Nilsen one night, got exceedingly drunk with the madman, and slept with him. Stotter awoke to find Nilsen above him, throttling him. Stotter was too drunk to understand what was happening at the time, however, and he believed that Nilsen was trying to help him stop choking. After he fully woke up, Nilsen then took Stotter to the bathroom where he held him beneath bathwater until the killer believed that Stotter was dead.

After Nilsen's dog alerted him to the fact that Stotter was still alive, Nilsen wrapped him in a blanket and let him go. Stotter was so drunk that he barely recalled the evening, and it wasn't until years after the attack that he realized how lucky he'd actually gotten that night.

the guy with the glasses is obviously the serial killer, Dennis Nielsen. The short haired blond guy next to him survived his attacks

Awesome post!
When the police arrested him, Nilson, there were two cops w/ him in the back. Nilson just started to confess to all the horrors he had done. And at the time, those two cops sure wished they had a few guns on them! They were scared, a little.
