    After making a New Year's resolution in 1993 to become a serial killer, Colin Ireland reportedly posed as a homosexual to be taken to each of his victims' homes, where he tortured and murdered them.
    The reminiscences of former friends, police, and an ex-wife, alongside a detailed taped confession, paint the portrait of a man whose murderous bid for fame labeled him "The Gay Slayer".

I can only give her advice but I'm 100% sure she won't be happy in this relationship. I don't want her to but it's her decision. Everybody agreed with me. It's not healthy to get in problematic relationship when you just got out of one.

    I really hate that! A lot of us have had horrible upbringings and we don't turn out to kill people or even hurt people cause we know how horrible it feels! Saying their a sociopath or psychopath now that's a different thing cause even using certain mental illnesses as an excuse is a cop out too and insulting to those that have mental illness and are just trying to function daily. I have no idea what makes people kill others? There has to be something really sick in their mind/brains to take someone's life. I watch these shows cause it's the one thing I truly think no one understands why, even the professionals. It floors me how many sick people there are like this out there walking among us and we may know some of them personally!!! Anyone that has thoughts or can touch or kill a child is the worst of the worst! How can anyone do those things to a child? I was an abused child and I'm 40 now and I'm still trying to understand how anyone can do those things to a child? It's something that always stays with you. I always dreamt of being a mom cause first off I love kids, but second I wanted to understand how anyone can carry a child for 9 months then give birth to that child and hate that child so much and want it dead. Maybe I'm being punished for wanting a baby to figure that part out? I know I'd love my child no matter who he/she turned out to be. Why are we humans so determined to destroy each other when life is so hard already? Things get worse with every continued generation, not better. We're supposed to learn from the previous generations mistakes, not make things worse for the next. In a lot of ways I'm kinda grateful I didn't have kids.... This world is so screwed up as it is. Wouldn't be fair to bring a child into this horrible world right now.

Kill once and it's normally 15-30 years minimum term before parole will be considered. But for killing 3 or more then the judge can set a whole life order, which means no chance of parole.

    In the mid to late 80s I visited the Colherne pub a number of times as I had friends in London who used the place as their local. I never found the place to be particularly pleasant but then I've never been into S&M or the whole head to toe leather get up. The bar staff were friendly and many of the punters were okay, I just never felt I could relax. What I can say about the venue is that it was ideal for Ireland in that so many used it to pick up a fuck for the night in that transient 'I-may-never-see-you-again' kind of way. Also, back then the 'gay community' had a rather distrusting relationship with the police. And paper press media at the time, particularly a red top like The Sun, were usually somewhat scathing about homosexuality. A phone call from Ireland would not have engendered even a basic level of sympathy for gay men. At least Ireland is no longer wasting oxygen.

      @@ilqar887 are you kidding? lgbt people were and still are frequently murdered. this was during the aids epidemic, when the president refused to even mention the disease and officials were refusing to take it seriously. horrific forms of conversion therapy were rampant, you would likely lose your family an job, and good luck keeping a job or renting property. there are many lgbt people even today hate themselves because of evangelical beliefs that have been drilled into them from a young age.

    He’s the only person I’ve met who genuinely scared me and I’ve met all kinds of serial killers cop killers and armed robbers. He’s huge and I thought if I was ever in a room with him i would not survive. He’d already been convicted of the killings and was in another wing of HM Prison Long Lartin, Evesham, worcs between 97 and 99.

      Look up the videos of James Fallon here on CZcams. He's a scientist who's done some fascinating work on it. In short, some people have genes which essentially make them psychopaths. The thing that then turns them into murderers is deep childhood trauma.
