The Resume

Fred West (September 29, 1941-January 1, 1995), born in Much Marcle, England
Rosemary West (November 29, 1953- ), born Rosemary Letts in Barnstaple, England
Together tortured, raped and killed at least ten young women
Fred killed two other women before marrying Rosemary
Fred hanged himself in his prison cell
Rosemary convicted and sentenced to life in prison (November 22, 1995)

Why they might be annoying:

Fred's father repeatedly told him, 'Do what you want, just don't get caught doing it.'
Before moving on to deliberate murder, Fred accidentally ran over and killed a four-year-old boy with his ice cream van (November 4, 1965).
Fred got Rosemary pregnant while married to his first wife.
Rosemary had five kids fathered by Fred and three fathered by clients she picked up working as a prostitute.
They sexually assaulted a seventeen-year old girl, but were merely fined for their crime (December, 1972).
Fred raped his thirteen-year-old daughter and filmed it (1982), triggering the investigation that uncovered their murders.
Their victims included Fred's pregnant girlfriend, Anna McFall; Fred's first wife, Rena; Fred's daughter from that marriage, Charmaine; and Fred and Rosemary's daughter, Heather.
Their other victims were young women they picked up at bus stops, then imprisoned and tortured for several days before killing them.

Why they might not be annoying:

Rosemary's mother underwent electroshock therapy while pregnant with her, which may have caused pre-natal injury.
Fred fractured his skull in a motorcycle accident (1958), after which his family reported he became subject to sudden fits of rage.
Even after Rosemary and Fred married, her father would visit them and have sex with her.
The judge who sentenced Rosemary told her, 'If attention is paid to what I think, you will never be released.'
After Rosemary's conviction, the Wests' house was demolished with every brick crushed and every timber burned to stop souvenir hunters.
