Serial killer Rose West's hate campaign against her own SON from behind bars revealed as she tried to get HIM jailed for life

Stephen West, 45, claimed his twisted mum, who is serving a life sentence for murdering ten girls, was “still looking for someone to blame”.

Stephen, one of evil Fred and Rose West’s eight children, spent a traumatic childhood in the couple’s “House of Horrors” in Gloucester.

His older sister Heather was one of at least 12 women murdered at the home.

Fred West committed suicide at Winson Green Prison in Birmingham in 1995 while on remand charged with 12 murders.

Rose was convicted of 10 counts of murder in November 1995 and jailed for life. She’s been told she will never be released from prison.

She is reportedly enjoying a middle-class existence at Low Newton women’s prison in County Durham, listening to the Archers and enjoying weekly yoga sessions.

She rang me in 1999 with hate, blaming me for everything

In an updated edition of a book on the couple, written by former Sunday Mirror reporter Howard Sounes, Stephen told how Rose blamed him for her whole life sentence.

He said: “She rang me in 1999 with hate, blaming me for everything.

“She said I should have died when I was born and that I was a disgrace to the family.

“You don’t need enemies when you’ve got family like that.”

My mother said I should be locked up for ever

When he was 31, West was jailed for nine months in 2004 after having sex with a 14-year-old girl and getting her pregnant.

He was prevented from working with girls and put on the sex offenders register.

Stephen said: “My mother sent a letter to the judge saying that I should never release me and I should be locked up for ever.

“The judge read it out in court, screwed it up, put it in the bin, and said, ‘The day I listen to her is the day I retire’.”

Builder Stephen, from Herefordshire, has undergone years of therapy to come to terms with his troubled childhood.

He added: “She hasn’t done what I’ve done and grown up.

“Sometimes you’ve got to accept your mistakes and try to better ¬yourself. She’s still looking for someone to blame.”

Discussing his mum's hatred of him, Stephen said: “She told my sister it’s because I remind her of Dad."

Last year Stephen’s sister Mae said she thought her parents may have murdered up to 30 more women.

Mae, 46, added how she was still haunted by her mother's refusal to confess her role in the notorious killings.




LIVES LOST: The victims of Fred and Rose West

Anna McFall

The nanny of Fred and Rena West’s children, McFall was believed to have been murdered in 1967.

She was pregnant when she died, with West believed to have been the father. Her body was found in June 1994 in a shallow grave.

Fred West denied murdering McFall but he is said to have confided to a visitor after his arrest that he stabbed her following an argument.

This happened before Rosemary West met him.

Charmaine West

With Fred in prison for the theft of car tyres and a vehicle tax disc, Rosemary was left to look after Charmaine and Anne Marie.

The former just eight-years-old, was Fred West’s stepdaughter from his previous marriage.

A neighbour Tracey is said to have found Charmaine tied to a wooden chair with her hands behind a back with Rosemary standing with a large wooden spoon.

Rosemary claimed she’d been taken by her mother, but her skeleton was found at the Midland Road property, hidden and missing bones.

Rena West

Rena is believed to have been murdered by strangulation.

Rosemary was not charged for this murder.

Lynda Gough

Lynda Gough was the first sexually motivated killing conducted by the Wests.

She moved into Cromwell Street in April 1973, having had affairs with several lodgers. The Wests later claimed she’d been asked to leave after hitting one of their children.

Strangulation and suffocation were the likely causes of death.

Carol Ann Cooper

Cooper was murdered in November 1973, aged just 15.

On the night of November 9, she was allowed to spend the night at her grandmother’s house before a doctor’s appointment the next morning.

She attended the appointment and then met her boyfriend, before somehow ending up on Cromwell Street.

Her body was found more than twenty years later.

Lucy Partington

A 21-year-old medieval English student at Exeter University, she returned home for Christmas in December 1973.

She left a friend’s house in a rush to get the last bus from Cheltenham to Gretton on 27 December, with it believed she was abducted from this bus stop.

She was found more twenty years later, her dismembered body in the cellar of Cromwell Street.

Therese Siegenthaler

A 21-year-old Swiss sociology student at Woolwich Polytechnic.

She had planned to hitch-hike to Ireland in Easter 1974. Her family reported her missing having not heard from her for some time.

Prosecution believe she was abducted before being killed, with Fred West later building a fake chimney over her grave.

Shirley Hubbard

Just 15 at the time of her death, Hubbard is believed to have been abducted by the Wests.

Her body was found following an excavation in the concrete and plastic membrane of the cellar floor.

Juanita Mott

In the summer of 1974, Mott moved into 25 Cromwell Street but later went missing when she was living in Newent.

Her body was found in March 1994, 19 years later, with West having concreted over the floor of the cellar.

Shirley Robinson

The first victim buried outside the house, Robinson had an affair with Fred West, and by autumn 1977, she was pregnant with West’s child.

It was initially claimed she had moved to Scotland but her body was later found.

When questioned, Rosemary West, herself pregnant with her daughter Tara at the time of the murder, claimed she did not remember her, which was described as “ludicrous” by the prosecution.

Alison Chambers

The last murder with a sexual motive established. She disappeared just before her 17th birthday, having been seen at 25 Cromwell Street throughout the summer.

Her body was buried underneath the patio.

Heather West

The first child born to Fred and Rosemary West, there is no evidence she was aware of the killings.

Sexually abused by her parents and having told friends, she suddenly went missing in 1987, with Rosemary claiming she had gone to Wales to be with a lesbian partner.

The couple would joke to their other children that they would “end up under the patio like Heather” if they misbehaved. This, and their changing stories, lead to the search warrants for the property, which lead to their arrests.
