The Serial Killer From Central Casting — Stephen Griffiths Who Killed For Fame
This ‘serial killer wannabe’ studied serial killers and the way they killed for a PhD.
Stephen Griffiths may have had a life-long ambition to join the ranks of the serial killers he admired and studied.
If that was indeed what he craved, in 2009 and 2010, he achieved this ambition.
Griffiths was born December 24th 1969, in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
Stephen Shaun Griffiths was the eldest of three children.
He had an ordinary and mostly uneventful childhood until his parents split up when he was nine years old. He remained living with his mother. He had some resentment towards her as he blamed her for the marriage’s breakdown.
Forensic Psychologist and a regular expert witness in Court, Dr Julian Boon, has looked into the reports about Griffiths. He says that he understands Griffiths had ‘utter contempt’ for his mother.
Some people said that Griffiths mother was a sex worker. Wakefield neighbours of the family said they had seen her in the yard, naked and having intercourse with men and in full view of the neighbours.
