"What makes a serial killer tick, the tell-tale signs and what really goes on behind the scenes will be revealed during the evening.

"It is an opportunity to learn about the most notorious British serial killers of all time - including Tobin, Jack the Ripper, Harold Shipman, Peter Sutcliffe and ‘Killer Couples’ – Fred and Rose West and The Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

“With more than 34 years as a senior detective, David shares his unique insight into the minds of the murderers, the famous cases that were never solved, and how the murderer got away with it. . . from someone on the inside.”

David – whose ground-breaking Operation Anagram uncovered the activities of Tobin – paints an often-dark picture of how these monsters come to be in this gripping first.

“Serial Killers are cunning, conniving, controlling, careful and – I hate to say it – clever,” he said. “They live apparently normal lives and get away with their crimes for years - until eventually detected.”

David will also look at the connections to the local area of the most famous murder cases.

Tickets for Makings of a Murderer are available from the Alhambra Theatre box office.
