#246 - Jack the Shitter.


Across October 2000, 55-year-old Brian Darby concocted a plan to rape an murder six women across West London over 24 hours, in order to become more infamous than his hero - Jack the Ripper.

And although this pointless little man was desperate to be hailed as a serial-killer, the best he deserves is to be known as Jack the Shitter.

  • Date: October to December 2000
  • Location: various locations across West London, W6 ^ W12, London, England
  • Victim: 6 (Susan Oghre, plus 5 unnamed)
  • Culprit: 1 (Brian Peter Darby)
