Serial killer Dennis Nilsen's diary with creepy poems for sale on sick website

A twisted diary penned by serial killer Dennis Nilsen is up for sale on a sick crime memorabilia website.

The 104 pages of handwritten notes and weird doodles include creepy poems which are claimed to be about two of the mass murderer’s victims.

Nilsen – who strangled and drowned boys and young men and kept their corpses for company before dismembering them – is said to have made the prison diary while awaiting trial in 1983.

The seller claims it shows a chilling insight into the killer’s mind after he was arrested and has the diary listed for a starting price of $1,000, or £750, on US-based website murderauction.com.

Interest in Nilsen’s gruesome crimes has been on the rise since the hard-hitting drama Des, starring David Tennant as the Scottish fiend, was screened earlier this year on ITV.

The Daily Mirror has not been able to authenticate the diary but the seller, who uses the name Red Rum, claims it is signed and initialled by the killer.

Their grisly sales pitch boasts: “Here collectors we have what we can call without mistaking the best Dennis Nilsen related item available for sale on the internet in the world as you read this right now.This book shows different shift in

Nilsen’s writing and mood.”

It goes on to say the middle of the diary contains “great poems” including “two examples titled Trying and Silver Boy, where he clearly talks about two different victims he killed and dissected in the month of April and November and that are haunting him”.

Red Rum includes the words of one poem, which reads: “I try to smile/Despite the vengeance looking at me.

“Covered in your tomato paste/A man of many parts I try to forget. Even the perfume of your passing lingers on. More problems now/With all your bits and pieces.”

Red Rum goes on to say the diary includes: “Great drawings and different accounts and stories. I would say it’s signed and I’ve seen at least five signatures from Dennis Andrew Nilsen to Dennis Nilsen with also DN initials.”

Nilsen is believed to have slaughtered up to 15 victims, but at the time of his arrest it was feared the gruesome death toll could be even higher.

Most were homeless or jobless and he picked them up in pubs before luring them to one of two North London flats where he lived between 1978 and 1983.

His horrific crimes were uncovered when human flesh was discovered in a drain at his home in Muswell Hill.

Nilsen was given a whole life tariff after he was convicted for six murders and two attempted murders at the Old Bailey in 1983.

The monster died in custody, aged 72 in 2018 of natural causes.

Only seven of his victims were ever identified.
