William Suff, Serial Killer

Imagine the most boring of jobs. It is hard to come up with one more mundane than working as a Government stock clerk. It seems almost a cliché that a killer who haunts the darkest nightmares should work in such a position. But, William Lester Suff did.
Let's take that cliché a step further and imbue the murderer of prostitutes with another trait. An unusual hobby. Suff was fascinated by cookery, which is probably not such a strange past time in itself. But he was not just a man with a passion for cooking the odd Sunday lunch. He was a fine amateur exponent of the art. A prize winner, one who produced award winning recipes, and even had them published.
It goes further. Albeit unsubstantiated, it was the belief of some of the prosecution team at his trial that he once won a trophy for his special chili dish. Although, rather than beef, the dish contained the severed breast of one of his victims. Indeed, if there was ever a need to personify the literary character of Dr Jekyll and his alter ego, Mr Hyde, it would be hard to find a better example than that of William Suff.
