PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

Kathleen Richards had an impoverished and neglectful childhood. At the age of 17 she and her sister Patricia packed their bags and sought respite by moving in with a seemingly friendly local couple, Rosemary and Fred West. It was a fateful decision that would haunt them for the rest of their lives. Kathleen was subjected to further abuse by West and only escaped after 18 months. She became close friends with fellow lodger Shirley Robinson and was crestfallen when Shirley disappeared. In time, she realised the truth about Shirley's disappearance and became a key witness in the trial of of Rosemary West in November 1995. Kathleen's story will offer a refreshing insight into this notorious case by giving a voice to the women who West encountered.
