BURIED THIS WEEK, WE OF HIS OWN CRIMES watching

One of Britain’s worst serial killers, he admitted attacking and killing five extreme S&M enthusiasts he had met in a London pub ( left) in 1993.

Ireland was one of the relatively few criminals in British jails for whom “life means life” – meaning he was never to be released and would die behind bars. FORMER soldier Colin Ireland – convicted of torturing gay men to death almost 20 years ago – died in jail last week.

Ireland, 57, is thought to have died from natural causes in the healthcare centre of top security Wakefield Prison in West Yorkshire.
