SERIAL KILLER STEPHEN GRIFFITHS: THE BRADFORD CROSSBOW CANNIBAL

The article details the heinous crimes committed by Stephen Griffiths, who earned the nickname 'Crossbow Cannibal.' He was a serial killer who murdered at least three women — Suzanne Blamires, Shelley Armitage, and Suzanne. Griffiths was known for his disturbing behavior and weapon stockpiling, including a crossbow he used to kill his victims. The police found his flat covered in blood, with parts of brains in the microwave and on a plate, along with severed breasts on a table. One of his victims, Suzanne Blamires, was seen fleeing his apartment on CCTV, shortly before Griffiths was captured. During the raid, officers found horrifying evidence including weapons, body parts, and evidence of cannibalism, with a horrific smell emanating from the flat. Griffiths had a history of violence from childhood, including animal torture and violence toward siblings, and was diagnosed as a sadistic schizoid psychopath. He was convicted and sentenced to a rare whole-life order, meaning he will spend his entire life in prison. The article emphasizes the brutality of his crimes, his self-perception as the 'ultimate predator,' and the brutal end when he was caught after his victim’s courageous escape. Griffiths had also claimed responsibility for three murders on record, with links to three other women, all of whom he refused to reveal further details about. His case attracted widespread attention, and a documentary about his crimes is set to be released on Prime Video.
