I listened to Elvis as I tortured Kevin to death

Horrific murder by serial killer Joanna Dennehy

SERIAL killer Joanna Dennehy tortured one of her victims to death as she
listened to Elvis Presley songs, The Sun can reveal.

Details of the horrific murder of her landlord Kevin Lee emerged in a letter
written from jail to an ex-lover.

It came as two men “under her spell” were yesterday convicted of being
accomplices.

Diagnosed psychopath Dennehy, 31 — who has admitted three knife killings and
two attempted murders — sent her note to Brian Hitchcock, 44, who lived with
her for two years in his home in Wisbech, Cambs.

It told how she made Lee wear a black sequined dress to “humiliate him” before
dumping him in a ditch.

Brian told The Sun: “She used sex to get whatever she wanted — drink,
somewhere to live, money.”

He said Dennehy was “sex mad” and added: “She had to have it all of the time.
But at the same time she hated male authority figures.”

Brian said the killer was also obsessed with Elvis and TV comedy Only Fools
and Horses.

He recalled: “She would listen to Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes — all the
famous numbers. Sometimes I would come in and she would have Only Fools on
the TV and Elvis on the stereo.”

In a second letter sent from HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, Dennehy — who has
shown no remorse for her actions — said she was gutted by the death last
month of Only Fools actor Roger Lloyd Pack, who played Trigger.

She wrote: “Trigger, poor, poor Trigger. You have to realise I’m portrayed as
incapable of any emotion, a proper cold, hard b*****d so I will pretend the
news did not bother me.”

She went on to apologise for her handwriting, explaining she had become
“heavily into weights” since being locked away.

Last night John Treanor, father of her two children, said she told him: “I
wish I could kill somebody.”

He went on: “She wore short skirts and pulled big knives out of her boots. She
cut her legs and stuck pins in her arms. It was the end for me — I was out
the door.”

Dennehy has admitted murdering married father-of-two Mr Lee, 48, Lukasz
Slaboszewski, 31, and neighbour John Chapman, 56, in and around Peterborough
over ten days.

All were knifed in the heart. Lukasz’s body was dumped in a wheelie bin.

Dennehy bragged she and one henchman — 7ft 3in Gary Stretch — were “like
Bonnie and Clyde” as they drove a car, registered in the false company name
Undertaker and Sons, 140 miles to hunt further victims.

They targeted dog walkers Robin Bereza, 64, and John Rogers, 56 — but both
survived critical injuries.

Dennehy is awaiting sentence along with Stretch, who was convicted at
Cambridge Crown Court yesterday of attempting to murder the dog walkers.
Leslie Layton was found guilty of preventing the lawful burial of two of the
murder victims.

Both Stretch, 47, and Layton, 36, had already been convicted of other offences
related to the attacks and claimed they acted under duress.
