The arrest of married couple Fred and Rose West on suspicion of murder 30 years ago marked the beginning of a horrific saga that has left a lasting impact on the nation. In February 1994, a detective, disturbed by a joke about their missing daughter Heather being ‘under the patio’, prompted a search of their home, leading to Fred’s confession of her murder and the discovery of multiple bodies buried in their garden, ultimately totaling nine. This grim revelation shattered the facade of normalcy the Wests had maintained and showcased their brutal crimes, which are now the focus of Netflix’s documentary, “Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story.”
