Pick of the Day: Britain's Worst Serial Killer: Dennis Nilsen
10pm, Channel 5
THROUGHOUT the late 1970s and early 1980s Dennis Nilsen preyed upon students or homeless young men in bars across London.
By the time he was caught in 1983 he had killed 15 men, keeping their bodies in his dingy flat in north London before using the butchery skills he learnt as an Army cook to dismember them.
The full story of Nilsen’s horrific crimes is told in this chilling documentary, with contributions from a former boyfriend, a victim who survived, the arresting officers and Nilsen’s biographer.
