Haigh was convinced that he could commit the perfect murder and he wanted to prove it. He had no compunction about killing people to finance his aspirations to live the high life and he used his charming courteous manner to entice his victims to their deaths.
What horrified the British public and made him the most notorious serial killer between Jack the Ripper and Fred and Rose West, was the method which he chose to dispose of his victims’ bodies. This led the press to christen him ‘The Acid Bath Murderer’.
The six bodies were obliterated using sulphuric acid and then the remains were just poured away. Later, in preparation for his defence of insanity, Haigh claimed to have drunk the blood of each of his victims just after he had killed them.
