The account comes from Holloway’s former segregation-unit governor who supervised West for several months.

Overview

  • Vanessa Farke-Harris recounted on the Daily Heretic podcast that she oversaw Rose West in Holloway’s segregation unit in the mid-1990s.
  • She described West as a “manipulative psychopath” and said there was “not a flicker” of emotion when told Fred West had died by suicide in 1995.
  • Farke-Harris said she and a duty governor informed West of the death, recalling a calm response and no visible grief or shock.
  • Police had arrested the couple in 1994 after discovering human remains, with nine victims found at 25 Cromwell Street and three at other locations.
