Expert reveals Dennehy’s plot
was discovered in a Cambridgeshire ditch wearing a black sequinned dress and arranged in a sexual pose.
Dennehy then randomly stabbed two dog walkers, Robin Bereza, 64, and John Rogers, 56, in Hereford. Miraculously, both men survived.
Sadistic Dennehy later told a psychiatrist she “killed to see if I was as cold as I thought I was. Then it got moreish”.
She has caused havoc in prison. She formed a lesbian relationship with an inmate but threatened to kill her when she discovered she had a girlfriend outside. Guards unearthed an escape plot which involved cutting off a female guard’s finger to activate locks. Ominously, Berry-dee is convinced Dennehy will commit murder behind bars.
He says: “No amount of prison psychiatry will ever remove the psychotic nature of Jo. She’s like a black widow spider, festering, waiting to pounce. “She will kill again – no doubt about that. I predict her next victim will be a prison guard stabbed to death.” Berry-dee and Dennehy exchanged up to a dozen letters before meeting, which contain clues about her “devious, manipulative nature”. He says: “She can turn from a charming young woman to an absolute beast, that’s why she’s so dangerous.” In sharp contrast, Berry-dee believes Rosemary West, whom he met at HMP Winchester, poses “zero threat”. He says: Without Fred I believe Rose would never have killed anyone. They were like a hand grenade and detonator - once they got together, bang.”
Berry-dee believes Dennehy is being treated too well in prison and not being appropriately punished for her crimes.
He says: “Jo is a monster and should be taken out of prison, buried alive, dug up and a stake put through her heart.
“Then she should be buried again, dug up again and another stake put through her heart. It would probably take that to ensure she’s really dead.”
A spokesman for Sodexo, which operates HMP Bronzefield, said: “We do not comment on individual prisoners”.
