When a Serial Killer Realizes He's Going Jail

- 24th May, 2010. Bradford, England. A building care-taker sits reviewing CCTV footage as part of his regular duties. But this would not be any ordinary shift. On what would normally be a deserted corridor, a shadow appears just meters from the camera lens.
Approaching the camera with ill-deserved confidence and a sick grin, was a man of medium build with dark hair. He walks brazenly up to the camera, stares down the lens, raising the middle finger of his left hand, and tightly gripping a crossbow in his right.
But this wasn’t the man’s first encounter with serious crime. In fact, his reign of terror had begun almost twelve months earlier. This is the chilling story of the man who dubbed himself; The Crossbow Cannibal, who would leave an unknown number of bodies in his wake.

An important detail: the building didn’t typically have CCTV, but the building managers felt Stephen was ‘up to no good’ and so they installed it specifically in his hall facing his door. Edit: apologies, I missed it at 19:00
Yeah he said that.
Wow. So, sad they didn’t review it that same day.
Yeah he mentioned that. Watch the whole video next time before making yourself look dumb =)
He said this at 19:00 (around 20s past)
92 people obviously missed it.
I just wanted to comment that what you said about heroin, about the craving never going away, 100% true. It opens a door that can never be closed. I've been clean since 2011 and got away from the lifestyle, got a good job, and make decent money. I still find my heart beat faster when I think about it, and the memory of how it feels, the whole ritual. That's as far as I get tho, I have worked too hard to get where I am after 15 years of addiction. The thought of making any effort to get it and all the years I'd be throwing away, is what stops me from actually doing it.
It never goes away, but you learn to keep the beast caged. I was on methadone from 19 - 38 years old. I'm 43 now and that saved my life. Anyone going through the cycle, just keep thinking of the reasons you value life, family, love, art; whatever it is that you need to cling to. Let it be your life raft and beacon of light to guide you
❤ you're doing incredible. I know you don't know me, but I feel it's important for you to know this. Good luck on your continued journey of being clean.
So true. I can think bout my drug of choice and I get feeling in my stomach
Thank you for sharing! I'm just weaning off methadone now. ( it's been 20 + years forgive a relapse about 3 years) I'll admit that i mourn it still. Like the spouse you love but is abusive, they make u feel so good but ruin your life and will probably kill you.
I'm curious those who admit to cravings still was therapy part of your withdrawal maintenance program? If so was it effective for you?
Similar to cocaine. I haven't done any since New Year's Eve 1990. If I see it on tv or in a movie, my mouth waters. if some appeared magically before me, I probably would but that is so unlikely now. So I think I'm safe LOL.
Prostitution: up to 7 years
Chasing someone and putting a knife to their throat: 2 years
And only served 1!!! What a joke 😭
prostitution is actually legal in England, not sure where he got the info from ... the 7 years would likely be for managing prostitution, running a brothel etc...
2:43 "Due to his age, he would only serve 1 year of his sentence, but upon reflection, this was a mistake."
The British court system is capable of making nothing But mistakes.
Just found your channel.
Love the respectful language you use, making specific mention of respect for the the victims and their families, and choosing humanizing terms like "sex workers" instead of the more dramatic-sounding "prostitutes."
Keep it up :) Subscribed.
I grew up in Bradford and will never forget the morning I couldn’t get off my bus at the usual stop for college. Police men and forensic tents everywhere. Turns out I had been getting on and off the bus at a murderers doorstep every day for a year. Weird to think there could have been a body right above me one of those mornings 😬 One of the bodies were found in a suitcase in the river behind my grandparents house too
Wow.
Check out, That Chapter, Great True Crime 😊
Are you a sex worker?
@@richardbarrow6606 I love Mike! One of my favorites ❤️
It's a small world 😮
He literally looks different in every photo.
Yeah, how the hell?!
One of the relatives did say he wasn't "human".... 🤔
The video uses weird filters on some of them to make them more crisp and clear, which makes people look quite strange. You’re also looking at pictures of him when he was in his 20s vs 40s 😅
@@ameliavelasco8602 aye aye ya!
Seruuusly wtf?? 😊
He didn't admit to eating parts of his victims????
"I am the crossbow CANNIBAL"
Stephen Griffiths
Sounds like a confession of cannibalism to me.
Seems more like an unproven claim, and a kinda pathetic plea for attention...
@@bruggeman672 Well they did find evidence of it in his kitchen and utensils. Soooo maybe not.
@@krampusklaws2238 that is evidence of cooking the remains yes. Katherine Knight also cooked her victim, among other things, but apparently didn't find it palatable... You can believe what you want but imo he's a braggart and blowhard inflating his reputation without having to actually prove it... I've looked into a LOT of cases and they're almost all uninteresting losers. This one strikes me as no different...
@@bruggeman672 yea he probably thinks they are going to make a movie about him, fuckin douchebag is what he is. They should make a movie about the lives of the 3 victims and in the movie they dont even mention his name, he would probably kill himself in jail
He didn’t say he was a clever crossbow cannibal 🙄
I don’t think we should use the name he gave himself because that then inflates his ego. I propose; bootleg bow boy
Man I died. That's great
I AGREE! Why use the name HE gave himself? Nope.
I hit the Like button as soon as I hit Play. The voice over gets me every time and narration flow is superb script-wise
Prostitution should not be legal
Why? At least like this, the women can work without fear and I think it's less likely for them to fall victims to pimps and human traffickers etc... prostitution will always be caught, whether it's legal or not, might as well keep it legal and ensure the girls/dudes are safer.
@@seraphim8539 It is wrong
Why not make it legal? As men, we pay for it one way or another! If prostitution was legal in the United States, I wouldn't be paying alimony or child support for a child that DNA says isn't mine! Oh yeah, and not only do I pay that cheater child support, but I don't even get visitation rights! For those outside of the us, if you're married and the wife cheats and gets pregnant, you're responsible for that kid! Or that might just be in Michigan!
These "sex workers aka prostitutes" are a sad lot. You see the before and after pics. Its always pitiful. Once bright, lovely young ladies become walking hulls of their former self. Its very sad. Drugs and self imposed abuse makes you really wonder what went wrong. Often mental illness has been an issue.
There's no denying it
I just feel like it ISNT for us to speculate. We have no idea.
@mandykay8629for REAL. i have not partaken in sex work, but I could never shame women that did to survive. I did alot of things to survive.
Love your narrative, voice, stories, my favourite true crime channel!
Slight error towards the end - prostitution per se (receiving money for sexual services) is legal in the UK (except Northern Ireland); it is, however, illegal to solicit on the streets, receive money as a pimp, or run a brothel (where the girls might be safer, as you point out), among other things.
Well, someone is getting money to make it 'safe' and organized. To me it may be called something else, but similar to pimp or madame who controls what Johns get and keeps them safe BUT for a cut of the pay. A rose is still a rose although called by a different name.
First time commenting here but not first time listening - definitely one of my favourite channels. Thank you.
Actually I personally believe that the killer will attend the victims funeral to watch those who loved victim suffer. It’s like licking the plate clean for them you know? They’re relishing in the misery they’ve caused.
Makes you wonder about the whole nature vs nurture argument, if his mother hadn’t engaged in criminal behaviour and allowed him to witness her weird sexual encounters would he have grown up to be a regular civilian? Or was he just predisposed, would he have been just as evil regardless as some people just are, guess we will never know. RIP to the 3 victims, a terrible way to go.
White collar crime vs violent murderers + cannibalism. Its a stretch for me, personally. Open sex n promiscuity from his mother, again vs cannibalism n murderers, I can see correlation off being exposed to his mother's behaviour and escalation to violent porn. He looks like he might have psychopathic or sociopathic tendencies if not full blow one, we dont have his full history so its guessing for me.
I tend to believe that there are 3 factors - nature, nurture, & choice. Whenever any 2 of these line up, the third is over-ruled.
Learned behaviors play a BIG part, imo
@@werebitch1313 That's really interesting. Good explanation.
@@AlexAndra-iy5zu You're right. Does that fall under the nurture category though? Environmental.
"Prostitution remains illegal in the UK"
I'm not entirely sure where you got this information but this is not correct, prostitution is in fact legal but soliciting people on the street is not.
Pretty sure I have seen this covered before cuz I remember his being brazen on that camera footage, but I'm not recalling his criminal former years that you are describing, so need a refresher on this one. Crossbow cases are truly in a class of its own. Thanks for the upload & hope you're having a good one!
"He wouldn't admit to it (eating body parts)"
He called himself the Crossbow Cannibal.
He just liked the alliteration
WOWZA. His mother REALLYYYY did a number on him...makes me wonder if he did more with her than just watch her in the garden :/ Seems likely and SUPER gross. RIP to all his victims.
Geez, drugs really did a number on Susan's looks, like most people who do hardcore drugs.
Don't ever do heroin, folks.
Here HERE!!!
Hold me back.....
Actually I never had the desire to use anything. I watched a young girl go from a good student to a drop out, had three kids she lost to social services and living in tent city.
We tried to help. But if they don't want it you cant help.
Say that to your junkie mother
In Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland), the act of engaging in sex as part of an exchange of various sexual services for money is legal
Nothing like getting off on watching your mother in the garden 🤮
Another excellent one! Honestly, I never get notifications of anything new by this channel, or other TC ones either. It's starting to P1$$ me off! I may not be the only one, but it's quite frustrating getting notifications for something I wouldn't ever watch but none of my few TC channels. I need to binge watch all those I've missed. I know I've missed some rather interesting content. Enjoy your week, Beyond Evil!!
It is appalling that his own chilling admissions were blatantly ignored. These heinous murders could have been prevented. If something were done to keep these women safe on the street. We'd hear less and less of them being victims of brutal assaults/murders. I know some may disagree and say they are out there putting themselves at risk. Just like anything else, narcotics, cannabis, prostitution. When regulated crimes pertaining to any of it goes down. Facts!
These poor girls. Not only did this happen to them, but they were dope sick too. If the world only knew how bad it feels. I guarantee they thought for a second, I feel so sick just kill me anyway. Again if you haven't been there you don't realize how bad the withdrawal is from opiates
Someone please explain the random finger snaps

You shouldn't humor him by using the name he chose. This video should be titled "The Shlubby archer" or something like that.
This is a brilliant comment
Kinda wierd they all did the same thing for work, all liked the same drug, all killed by the same man, and all had their names start with the letter S...
It may be in this video as well, not all the way through yet, but this guy kept a large portrait of himself above his own bed. That should be a major red flag either way. Narcissists can never be trusted.
Why didn’t he want to admit he was cannibalizing his victim(s) but dubbed himself “the crossbow cannibal”…?
Perhaps because of a reduced sentence? If adding a cannibalistic, he would have probably received a stiffer sentence.
@@changeintheair9648 good point
I'm sorry, but if anyone gets more than 1 life sentence they should automatically get death penalty.
I don't understand why he did not get 3 life sentences.
OMG Sussane real tried to save herself by running from that monster but he overpowered her 💔
A Bachelors degree in psychology and then straight to work in his doctorate? WTH?!
It depends on the program. It's the same amount of work either way. I did it the traditional way, but others go straight through to the doctorate.
Deranged, abusive or neglectful mothers seem to be a common denominator among killers, men and women alike. Nothing like emotional deprivation in the formative years to mess a person up :/
Thank you Beyond Evil Podcast ⭐
I'm also from Bradford, theres a shit load of serial killers from here
Hey 👋🏼 Fellow Bradford lass here. Moved to America 8 years ago though. I might know you 😂
No! I thought only the US bred them!
Prostitution is completely legal in the UK, soliciting in a public place isn’t though.
Not making excuses for this monster but I wonder if the first few years of his life had a huge impact on his outlook on women and life because of his mother. No motherly love with gentle caring guidance. Then again maybe not, sometimes they are born bad.
I thought the same thing, but then I said to myself what about the millions of others who experienced similar childhoods and never had evil thoughts or engaged in evil activities, some are just predisposed to be evil and some aren’t, it’s impossible to tell
@@deevasquez1171 good point
The mother is mentally-deranged to begin with and the genetics didn’t fall far from the tree when her son is insane as well. I doubt care or love would have changed much about his genetic disposition in his brain chemical formation. Makes me wonder if the early Victorians were right about not allowing their children to marry/procreate with anyone found to be or be in a family where mental illness was known.
Jeez TH-cam… a crossbow ad was attached to this video… wtf
😂😂
Heartbreaking. Methadone changed and saved my life. The girls were robbed of their chance to recover and live a life.
I saw no grin?
I love All of Your Videos ❤🎉
Something not mentioned was that before susan decide to go into this mans apartment, he tried going for a different girl. Before entering the building she felt something was wrong and decided to not go in. anymore.
First time I heard a suspect was put away for life w/o parole, in England
Not the first or the last. 60 plus at the moment
It's always a well-made video. Your voice is too perfect for narration. 😅
Man, I would hate to have to succumb to being a sex worker.
There are hundreds of others choices. That should never be an option. It can cost more than your health or sanity, it’ll cost your life!
I worked as a maid in hotels. And a car wash. Damned if I would have walked the streets.
They were not glamorous jobs but it put food on the table.
@@tessaducek5601 Yeah, not sure being a maid is a dream job, but I have always wanted to work in some sort of capacity in a hotel/motel, LOL!
Now you know how your mother felt
@@loveforeignaccentsreally cute actually :3
What a real sicko. Still watching, but hope he never walks the planet as a free man again!!
EDIT: Glad to hear it!!!
It’s a trip hearing an American (narrator) say “chemist” “flat,” “going to the shops (instead of ‘going shopping’ or ‘going to the store),” and other UK-specific dialect vocab. If this script (obviously written Britain) were produced from consumption also in the states, it is always lexically localized and the vocab gets changed.
Yes its nice to hear proper English vocabulary..
Oooohhh man i loved the way you ended that. Much respect💯
Great video!
I love the new snap thing
His life kinda reminds me of Bryan Kolhberger that Moscow Utah murderer!!
They looked similar to me.
Some people are just totally nuts
Personally, I have done nearly every drug with a significant appetite.
But I have never done heroin or meth.
I consider myself very fortunate.
Uploaded Just In Time 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Everything about him is Wannabe..
damn cant even show a finger... thats... well... beyond sad
From semi-studying crime over my lifetime I've learned that past criminal convictions or lack of have nothing to do with being a violent predator. And in America at least saying someone's criminal history has anything to do with it is like saying men with brown hair will be violent criminals. There are more laws in America than any other country and almost everyone has had a speeding ticket or some other offense on record. What I'm saying is that if a person likes to speed they may have speeding tickets, drug users may have drug offenses and violent offenders will re-offend but people with past nonviolent offenses are no more likely to be violent than anyone else. Lots of people have broken the law but have never been caught and lots of very violent murderers have no previous criminal charges!! As much as we'd love to be able to lump all crimes into one pot we cannot but we can take our attention from nonviolent crimes and make violent crimes a much bigger priority. I'd much rather have the people who will actually hurt me and my loved ones behind bars than some annoying harmless drug user.
He wants to ne called crossbow cannibal so LET'S CALL HIM "LAME FLOP" from now on😂
Stalking and murdering sex workers is just cowardly.
I'm in Bradford currently
Guy could have been a PhD and this is what he does? Man life is great over here aha
If I enjoy watching these types of videos does that mean I am sick will eventually go mad? haha JK just laughing at the fact you pointed out how he liked looking into the lives of serial killers.....
Stock footage is confusing…
I watched an episode on see no evil about this guy, absolutely nuts.
Where's the song I miss the song
Omg so sick
The "Cocksure Clod".
Excellent carreer choice 🥴
Whether you approve of it or not, legalizing AND regulating prostitution will save thousands of lives. In order for it to be safe they need to be working in a brothel or doing outcalls through clients that have been fully vetted by a service.
Legalizing prostitution will never end violence. Will only skyrocket drug abuse/overdose/trafficking, sexually transmitted diseases, human trafficking including of children, more violence and murder. If the government really wanted to help sex workers why not offer a good/reliable drug rehab program, plus housing security and career/school orientation, along with legal help. Sex workers don’t work on the streets for pleasure.
I think the point is that legalising it would take away the negative stigma, and would also stop a lot of women meeting men in secluded areas out of fear of being caught, for example if it was legal they are more likely to let people know who they are meeting, where and when, they’ll be able to meet clients in the daytime in public areas which is much safer, they would also be confident in reporting violent clients to the police without themselves getting in trouble for engaging in the crime of prostitution, legalising would definitely help, but I agree that dealing with the root cause like mental health, drugs etc would be more productive
You mean that prostitution earns you a great life on the taxpayer? Damn, why did I go to grad school when I could've had that?
Prostitution is legal in the whole of the Netherlands, not only Amsterdam.
I can’t for the life of me un-hear the voice actor of Too Cute from Animal Planet.
Thanks for the vid, ya'll....
My condolences to the family's. Parents really do try, and want the best for their children, but the devil look for their weaknesses to Prey upon. My sister had the same problem; she was not drugs; she could hv gotten murder many times, but someone always around to saved her; the grief of my parents was a lot, and their prayers keep her from being murder, but she died of AIDS at 36.
His mother wasn't a good role model for him, and didn't take the steps to help him knowing he had a problem.
He became a monster by feeding his mind on evil things. The law is spiritual but we are carnal sold under sin; for the good we ought to do we do not, but the evil we do. This is why; if he had feed his mind on things that are spiritual he wouldn't hv fallen into the devil snare, and became a brutall murdered to these women. His sentencing may look fear, but why should he get the chance to live after brutally murdering these women? The question remains in the minds of views.
My view... could it be God give him a second chance? I heard of people that got lifetime, and turned to God, but the sad thing is did these women get that chance?
So he went from getting his bachelors degree to PhD he skipped getting his masters???????? I’m confused
I am kind of confused...they have body parts, DNA in his apartment, and him on camera chasing a victim but they didn't have probable cause for his arrest?!?!?!
Hes like Ed Gein..
I remember the media coverage looking for Susan… ❤
He is one of those sickos who just wanted to be famous in a dumb way, the moment they transferred him to prison he regretted all and cries like a little girl!
Nobody wants their daughter or sister to be Prostitute, therefore normalizing and legalizing Prostitution is a extremely bad idea, Prostitution is a disgusting and inhuman business and governments must make sure that no girl gets involved in such a disgusting business no matter how bad the financial circumstances of that girl or Woman.
Our girls and woman are very precious they must not go along this evil Prostitution Path.
There are sleaze bags who want to legalise prostitution so they can have sex with these vulnerable people b/c those sleaze bags can't get sex anywhere else
Or does legalising prostitution make it safer for the sex workers by pulling them back from the fringes of society. Do serial killers target prostitutes because they fell that police will pay little attention to those engaging in illegal activities?
@@MaxDowney Prostitutes will Always be fringe member of the society, tell me frankly do any politician, or respectable member of society or people belonging to rich family are going to allow their daughter to join the disgusting profession of Prostitution??? the answer is hell no, I am damn sure even you not going to allow your sister to be a prostitute, the fact is only vulnerable girls are going to join this disgusting profession, therefore the best solution to this problem is educate girl from young age about drug use, because addiction leads many girls to prostitution, and secondly governments must provide self defense training to girls, so that they can defend themselves against perverts this is a much better solution.
Hey. They’re providing a service. If legal maybe they would have the protection of the law. LIKE AMSTERDAM.
@@eleanorchorao4875 Everybody has protection of law, you Do not have to legalize Prostitution to get Protection from Police, This AMSTERDAM example is BS because AMSTERDAM and the whole Netherlands is now being taken over By Moroccan Gangs, Only Strong Implementation of Rule of Law by government and police can solve murder Problem in a country for example El Salvador where the president threw thousand of career criminals into prison.
If you’re gonna kill people, maybe don’t flex in front of cameras afterwards.
What an animal 😢
Thank you for calling these ladies Sex Workers and showing them the respect that they deserve.
Wtf it’s nothing to be proud of and it is immoral wrong and nothing to be respected for.
The uk justice system is messed up
(as someone whos been on methadone for years )
I wouldn't really say methadone is a heroin SUBSTITUTE per se.. altho i can see that being a description for ppl who never been thru it, for sure
Its called a "maintenance drug" technically
Its an opiate blocker
If you take it without being on opiates, it will make you very sick lol
Anyway......loved your video, i just had to say my lil 2 cents about it , since there still is soo much stigma around all "maintenance drugs"
Also , it is a prescription as well.
Much love 🖤🖤🖤🖤🩶🤍🖤🩶🤍
Methadone doesn't block anything, many people use on top of it plenty of times!!
@@k1dn1ce76 sure ......but you gotta use a LOT to counteract that
And still it's gonna affect you differently in a way you're not high & sick feeling no matter what, or only high for a short time while it's working against the H
When I was on 110 mg I had to use over 3 grams to feel anything ...that was in the beginning, not rdy to let go of shit
But me, and most ppl, realize, why am I paying for both of these? When both are a waste taking them like this
So they'll either work the program or leave 🤷♀️
Of course there are ppl who will test that, if it does block, how much you gotta do to get past it, etc
There's not 1 thing that will work for everybody
Methadone is not for everyone
Maintenance drugs are not for everyone
But they do save the lives of the ppl who actually work the program and want the help, it can assist you putting your life back together in your own time
Now I'm on 24 mgs and I know if I tried to use again, just on this lil bit, that it would block it quite a bit
Even when I haven't used in years
Because when you start out , you have to start around 30 , and I was still using when I started
And had to use , still, a very high amount to counteract that
Again, there's enough ppl that get actual help & their life back from methadone, that I support it 1000%
The other ppl....well it wasn't for them, their journey requires something different , and thats ok 🖤✌️
@@lucyfer6g6Respect, nice answer. Peace be with you.

@@k1dn1ce76 thank you 🫶

Love your channel but please research details before you give viewers incorrect info. Prostitution in England is perfectly legal, but soliciting , managing prostitution and brothels aren't. ;-) there are a lot of girls openly advertising themselves, but they're not allowed to solicit.
A friend of mine used to walk his lizard. It was kinda funny. He did it more as a yuck. But i really think that lizard looked forward to it and seemed too show a distant affection. Im more of a dawg person. But than I've no desire to kill anyone.
So he can kill but didn’t get killed?
The garden???
For all I knew about Ted Bundy, I never knew that he kept some of his victims' skulls.
Me neither, I thought that was Dahmer. I bet a lot of them did though 🤢

Wait... you're using the same younger year picture for both Susan and Suzanne.
Legalize drugs (as they used to be for all of human history) and none of this would have happened. Well it would have happened to other people i guess. Pure, unadulterated, measured "Heroin" (Bayer’s trade name for diacetylmorphine) was sold OTC for over 20 years without any "epidemics". People were just more responsible back then I guess, or they had a more honest media.
Prostitution in the UK is a grey area, brothels and escort services are allowed but theyre almost always seedy and unsafe. Street Prostitution is illegal though.
Don’t do drugs.
