They knew that if they were not able to link the dead bodies to Dennis Nilsen, then it might be a possibility that he escaped the clutches of the law.ĭennis himself had told the detectives that many bodies were buried in his earlier residence in Melrose Avenue. The authorities knew one fact: evidence is required to prove guilt in a court of law. Nilsen said that he was branded as a culprit by the media even before he decided to keep his case in the court of law.
He told the authorities that he had killed about fifteen to sixteen people. Dennis Nilsen’s answer sent shivers down their spines. McCusker casually asked him how many people he had killed, since there were two big dustbin bags that they had found in his cupboard. The most shocking reveal, though, was still left. He was immediately taken into custody for suspicion of murder. He calmly told the officers that he had kept some of the mutilated body parts in his cupboard. The irony was that not even a crinkle of fear or anxiety was visible on Dennis Nilsen’s face. McCusker went upstairs, and as soon as he opened the door, a rotten smell alerted his senses. On being asked, he said that he just wanted to pee. Steve McCusker, the Detective Inspector for the case, became more suspicious about this man living on the top floor when the residents told him that the day before, they saw him in just a vest on a freezing night, doing something fishy. He also noticed that a guy living on the top floor of the apartment was seemingly interested in knowing what they were doing. He claims that he can tell the difference between human and animal bones despite his lack of knowledge on the subject. Mike Cattran, an engineer at Dyno-Rod, was called to clear the blockage. The workers came and what they found inside the sewer made them dumbfounded. A complaint about a blocked sewer was received from a house in Cranley Gardens.
