Summary In a three month spree, 5 women were slain and mutilated on the impoverished streets of London. An inexperienced police force were hunting for the world's first serial killer. Just as news of 'Jack the Ripper' travelled the world, so did investigators' prime suspect: conman Frederick Deeming who had already slaughtered two of his wives and four children. Those invited into the Manson Family cult were easy-pickings for its leader, Charles Manson. The Family, inspired by Manson, murdered nine people. Manson claimed to have been wrongly convicted, arguing he had played no part in the horrific crimes. What followed was a bizarre court case, that revolved around Manson's influence over the killers.
