#CROSSBOW CANNIBAL KILLER SERIAL#
The serial killer, who also called himself Ven Pariah and bragged to police that he had murdered six women, lured the victims back to his flat in Bradford where he shot them with a crossbow, stabbed them and butchered them with power tools. The harrowing details were outlined in court by prosecutor Robert Smith QC after Griffiths admitted murdering the women. He told officers he had eaten parts of his victims and he 'didn't have much time for the human race'. The 40-year-old former public schoolboy told police that cannibalism was “part of the magic” of killing Susan Rushworth, 43, Shelley Armitage, 31, and Suzanne Blamires, 36. The deranged psychology graduate even filmed some of the sick rituals at his home which he chillingly described to police as the 'slaughterhouse'. The self-styled Crossbow Cannibal had boasted to detectives that he had eaten some of his victims after chopping them up. The extent of his depravity later emerged in court.
