THE GAY SLAYER

THE VOICE ON THE PHONE WAS CHILLINGLY matter-of-fact. "I've killed another man," the caller told police. "Haven't you found him yet?" After giving an address in a rundown neighborhood—where detectives would discover a nude corpse, strangled like the four victims before him—the man continued, "I will go on killing. You can't catch me. I'll kill one a week."

Colin Ireland was one of Britains worst serial killers. Unlike the Yorkshire Ripper, Fred and Rose West, Irelands killing spree recieved little publicity even though his killings were brutal and bizzare. He chose his victims from the underground S&M gay scene in London, knowing there would be many witnesses willing to come forward to the police and because of the easiness of killing men who were willingly tied and boud before there deaths. Ireland contacted the Samaritans and the Sun newspaper when his crimes did not recieve the publicity he craved. Was it because his victims were Gay?
