In the eighth episode of Season 5, your host JD Horror takes you back inside the walls of the notorious Broadmoor Psychiatric Hospital in England. Over the course of the next couple of episodes we will meet some of the asylum's most famous patients, each more vile than the next.
Part 1: The Stockwell Strangler - Kenneth Erskine prowled the South of London looking for elderly victims he could rob, rape and murder. During the heat wave of the summer of 1986, he would take advantage of open windows and take a total of as many as 11 victims. (K. Erskine, England)
Part 2: The Duke of Broadmoor - Ronald and Reggie Kray were twin brothers who became notorious gangsters in London's East End during the 1950's and 1960's. Their mob ties would lead to wealth, power, and fame... but without proper treatment Ronnie Kray would descend into madness and end up confined within the walls of Broadmoor. (Kray Twins, England)
