Rose West’s lawyer warns that dementia could see killer finally reveal true extent of ‘wicked and vicious’ murders
KILLER Rose West's former lawyer has revealed that her dementia means "she may admit horrific secrets" before she dies.
She and husband Fred West are the UK's most notorious serial killer pair, carrying out some of the most horrific murders the country has ever seen.
Killing at least 12 women in their Gloucestershire home between 1967 and 1987, the couple raped and tortured victims until their eventual deaths.
Fred and Rose were able to get away with their murderous activity by burying the bodies of their victims underneath their homes at 25 Cromwell Street.
Now, in a new Channel 5 documentary - Rose: Making a Monster - which airs on June 7 and 8, creators explore whether or not the 67-year-old killer was a product of her horrific upbringing.
Despite being convicted of ten murders and remaining in prison, Rose has never made a full confession or given any details of the killings.
Leo, who was Rose's lawyer for 12 years, said that she continually blamed husband Fred, who committed suicide before he could stand trial.
She added that Rose is "in denial" while but is also exercising "control" in choosing not to divulge on her involvement in the crimes.
The writer is insistent however that Rose knew about Fred’s past crimes as she went on to commit the murders in her own right.

"If the police speak to her I don’t think she’ll say anything, she’s partially in denial and she’ll never face up to what she’s done," Dr Woodrow said.
Rose: Making A Monster airs on Monday June 7 and Tuesday June 8 at 9pm on Channel 5.
