The Crossbow Cannibal

In this gripping episode of Terror Bites, we plunge into one of the most chilling true crime cases in British history — the horrifying story of Stephen Griffiths, a man who dubbed himself The Crossbow Cannibal. From his eerie obsession with serial killers to the gruesome murders of three women in Bradford, this is the tale of a self-styled executioner whose thirst for infamy left an entire nation stunned. Griffiths wasn’t your typical killer. He was a PhD student by day, studying homicide and criminal behavior. But behind closed doors, he was orchestrating a real-life horror story. Between 2009 and 2010, Griffiths brutally murdered Susan Rushworth, Shelley Armitage, and Suzanne Blamires, all vulnerable women working as sex workers in West Yorkshire. He used a crossbow and other weapons in acts of unspeakable violence — recording some of the killings, dismembering bodies, and even claiming to have eaten parts of his victims. What made this case especially disturbing was the cold calculation with which he operated, and the eerie calm he displayed on CCTV footage, caught dragging a body down a hallway like it was nothing more than trash. Griffiths didn’t run. He confessed. He wanted the world to know what he’d done. In this episode, we explore: Griffiths’ twisted fascination with infamous serial killers like Peter Sutcliffe and Jeffrey DahmerThe red flags that were repeatedly missed by police, social workers, and mental health professionalsHow societal neglect of sex workers allowed a predator to go unnoticed until it was too lateThe role the media played in amplifying his notoriety — and the lasting scars on the Bradford communityWhy Griffiths’ actions and self-image reflect a dark, narcissistic hunger for control, domination, and legacy With dark humor, stark detail, and no-fluff storytelling, this episode peels back the layers of a killer who didn’t just want to murder — he wanted an audience. We ask the uncomfortable questions about how this was allowed to happen, and we confront the uncomfortable reality that sometimes the monsters look just like us — until it’s too late.
