The victims never stood a chance against their combined cruelty.

Some killers act alone. Some form a partnership so toxic and unstoppable that the results are catastrophic.

In this episode of It Takes Two, Simon Ford and Jacques Morrell examine Fred and Rose West, Britain’s most infamous killer couple. We explore Fred’s early life and pre-existing crimes, Rose’s abusive upbringing, and how two damaged people fused into a dark partnership.

From their home in Gloucester to the courtroom, discover the psychological dynamics that made them so lethal, and the lessons learned for law enforcement and social services.

It Takes Two is the brand-new Autumn 2025 series from Psycho Killer: Shocking True Crime Stories, soon to be followed by the bite-sized companion series The A–Z of Psychopaths.
