Great Story

A bit hard to listen to when it contains a criminal that is so young. But this is definitely an undertold story.

England's Arsonist and Murderer Peter Dinsdale

Before this short audio I had never heard of this sad and sick serial killer, Peter Dinsdale, aka Bruce George Peter Lee. From the age of 12 he started fires, killing those who had mocked him, and eventually just killing at random. Dubbed "Daft Peter" by the neighborhood kids, Peter Dinsdale did more than strike back at anyone who made fun of him: He murdered them by fire. The son of a prostitute and drug user, he was in and out of orphanages from an early age, and suffered from epilepsy. His obsession with arson and murder went on for six years until a very savvy Detective Superintendent Ron Sagar was able to get not only one confession but all nine dating back to 1973 from him. He remains in a psychiatric hospital.
