Amazon selling sick serial killer calendar featuring murdering Scots for £8.99

A sick calendar featuring the face of a different murderer for each month of the year is being sold on Amazon, offering buyers '12 months of serial killer colouring'.

The illustrations feature Scots murderers Dennis Nilsen and Ian Brady, plus a string of infamous British serial killers such as Fred West, 'Dr Death' Harold Shipman, Dennis Nilsen and 'Yorkshire ripper' Peter Sutcliffe.

The independently published calendar features the faces of the 'Moors Murderer' Brady and Myra Hindley in January and February.

Between July 1963 and October 1965 they murdered five children around Manchester - Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans - aged between 10 and 17.

Peter Sutcliffe, better known as the 'Yorkshire Ripper' stares out from March.

He murdered 13 women and attempted to murder seven others between 1975 and 1980, sparking a massive manhunt which led to his imprisonment of 20 life sentences. He died in November 2020 after contracting Covid-19.

Rose and Fred West adorn the pages of April and December respectively with the tagline 'House of Horrors', as the remains of several of their victims were found buried in the garden and cellar of their Gloucester home.

Together they tortured and murdered at least nine young women between 1973 and 1987 while Fred is believed to have killed at least three others and Rose also murdered her eight-year-old stepdaughter Charmaine in 1971.

'Doctor Death' Harold Shipman is the face of May. Once a respected general practitioner, he is believed to be one of the most prolific serial killers in history with approximately 250 victims.

He administered lethal doses of diamorphine before signing death certificates and falsifying medical records to indicate his patients were in poor health.

John George Haigh, who murdered at least six people in the 1940s, is on June.

Haigh battered to death or shot his victims and disposed of their bodies using sulphuric acid, earning him the nickname 'The Acid Bath Murderer'.

At July is Beverley Allit, 'The Angel Of Death', although her name is spelt incorrectly as 'Beverly' in the calendar.

In 1993 she was convicted of murdering four children, attempting to murder three other children, and causing grievous bodily harm to a further six while working as a nurse in the children's ward at Grantham and Kesteven Hospital, Lincolnshire.

Kenneth Erskine grins out from August. 'The Stockwell Strangler' killed at least seven elderly people in London between April and July 1986 by breaking into their homes and strangling them.

September features Scottish serial killer Dennis Nilsen, who was convicted at the Old Bailey of six counts of murder and two of attempted murder in 1983.

Nilsen would keep the bodies of his victims for lengths of time after the killings before burning them or chopping them up and flushing them down the toilet.

John Christie is the face of October. He murdered at least eight people, including his wife Ethel, by strangling them in his flat at 10 Rillington Place, Notting Hill, London.

The bodies of three of Christie's victims were found in the kitchen while two more remains were discovered in the garden and his wife's body was found beneath the floorboards of the front room.

Bruce George Peter Lee, 'The Yorkshire Arsonist', adorns the page for November.

He is believed to have killed 26 people after setting fire to homes as families within were sleeping.

The Amazon listing describes it as '12 months of beautifully detailed UK serial killer illustrations to colour and display'.

It is available for £8.99n.
