“I would concentrate on the production and he would handle the ordering of supplies and the financial side.
“I was, after all, a trained chef and could produce saleable goods. We built up a regular clientele and were able to make about £9 a week, on top of our workshop wages, to spend in the canteen.
“The authorities would, again, turn a blind eye so long as it didn’t pose any threat to the stability of the wing.”

His final victim was 20-year-old Stephen Sinclair, who went back to Nilsen’s f lat in 1983 with the promise of alcohol and a look at his record collection.
