THE MURDERER IS SERVING A WHOLE LIFE ORDER FOR DEPLORABLE CRIMES CARRIED OUT WITH HER HUSBAND FRED WEST 19:11, 29 May 2025 Serial killer Rose West is said to have a comfortable life in

prison almost 30-years on from her sentencing for crimes which shocked the nation. The now 71-year-old was sent down for her part in the rapes and murders of 12 women carried out by herself

and husband, Fred West. Fred never saw justice as he killed himself in prison in the 1990s before he could be tried for his crimes. Many of the couple's victims were buried under the

patio at the family's home in Gloucestershire. READ MORE: 'GREEDY MUM LIVING IN £1M HOUSE' STOLE £166K FROM EMPLOYER AND DIDN'T TELL FAMILY A number were also under the

floor in the basement which had been turned into a torture dungeon, The Mirror reports. Article continues below The crimes, which were committed between 1967 and 1987, came to light in 1992

when their children said they were constantly threatened with being buried “under the patio like their sister Heather”, who had vanished five years earlier. The full horror was soon

uncovered, and the youngest victim was Rose’s stepdaughter Charmaine, just eight, and the eldest was Fred’s ex-wife Catherine ‘Reno’ Costello, 27. In 1995, Rose West received a whole life

order meaning she will die behind bars. And since she abandoned her attempts to appeal her conviction in 2001, she is understood to be resigned to dying in prison, where she has already

spent nearly 30 years. She has regular transfers due to threats of violence from other inmates. The killer has been at New Hall for six years and reportedly lashes out at staff if she does

not get her own way. Speaking to The Sun, a source said: "She's in a disabled room now because she can barely walk. "She never really leaves the wing she's held on and is

escorted all the time by prison officers if she goes anywhere. Sometimes she sits in the communal areas on her own. "No one talks to her because everyone knows who she is and what she

did, even if she has changed her name. "When I was there, she tried to make friends with the other women and gave them gifts, like vapes, but she was rejected. She likes to watch nature

documentaries on the TV in her cell, especially ones about birds." West reportedly paid £36 to change her name to Jennifer Jones. It's understood she changed her name by deed poll

in December last year and told friends it's her way of moving on. However, everyone knows her real identity at the women-only HMP New Hall near Wakefield in West Yorkshire. Some

inmates spurn her attempts at friendship, and she often eats tomato soup in her cell alone for breakfast, before spending most of her time in her cell knitting and talking to the TV, because

she can barely walk. West is now being held in a special unit at New Hall known as Rivendell House, where 30 prisoners each have an en-suite cell and are allocated a laptop which they can

use to order food from. Article continues below The communal areas are also said to be "more inviting" than other blocks in the prison, according to inspection reports.
