On the 8th of February 1983, police were called to a top floor flat in a suburban area of London.

The man that had made the call was a plumber and the reason he’d got in contact was as he’d discovered something unusual.

When residents started complaining of the drains being backed up and a strange smell emanating from the property, the plumber came to clear the suspected blockage, however what he found under the manhole cover would reveal a dark and terrifying story, one which had been kept secret for a number of years.

With a disturbing secret uncovered, police raided the home and arrested the tennant on suspicion of murder, but what he would go on to reveal would haunt them revealing their own incompetencies right before their very eyes.

Today on Macabre London, we uncover part two of the story of the Muswell Hill murderer, Dennis Nilsen.
