The series features some of the worst criminals in UK history
With viewers now more interested in the minds of killers than ever before, there’s a series you don’t want to miss.
The show allows you to binge-watch until you can’t take it anymore with 20 episodes featuring the worst people in the world.
From Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper who went on to senselessly strangle and murder of thirteen women between 1975 and 1980, Ian Huntley, who was convicted in 2004 of the 2002 double-murder of little ten-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman and Steve Wright, who killed five women within six weeks in 2006.

Other murderers included are the likes of the sickening couple, Fred and Rose West, who’s house of horrors saw women raped, tortured and killed and Dennis Nilsen who killed around twelve men in his London flat.
World’s Most Evil Killers dives into their lives, with criminologists, forensic pathologists, federal agents and other experts retelling the awful details of their crimes as well as the psychology behind some of the killers.
These crimes are some of the worst in history, and now, viewers can see just how despicable they are.
In the case of Nilsen, his crime echoes that of the Milwaukee Cannibal, Jeffrey Dahmer.
Dahmer is a notorious serial killer who picked off predominantly Black men off the streets of Milwaukee, bringing them back home and heinously murdering them in his apartment.
Then, he would go on to dismember, and even consume some body parts, while he kept other parts in his freezer.
One of his crimes included injecting a man with acid into his head in the hopes of creating a living zombie.
Nilsen, on the other hand, lured men to his home where he would strangle or drown them before meticulously bathing, dressing them and keeping their bodies for some time.

He would then dismember them and dispose of the parts through either burning on a bonfire or flushing them down the toilet.
It was the latter method of disposal which saw him caught by the police, as human remains were found in the drainage.
The question of why people are so obsessed with true crime has been on people’s lips for ages, but there are some good theories out there.
A 2010 study conducted by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign actually discovered that it’s more likely to be women who are obsessed.
They concluded that women tend to be more drawn towards true crime stories over their male counterparts and they prefer to watch things that get into a killer’s motives.
They also enjoy shows that contain information about how victims escaped and have female victims.
While it seems pretty strange, it’s mostly due to the fact that they are looking for ways that they could escape a murderer, by using these insights against them.
Anyway, if you’re a fan of true crime shows, give World’s Most Evil Killers on Tubi TV a go.
