GIVE UP YOUR SICK SECRETS ROSE

Evil West, 69, urged to come clean on her murders....and any other victims

- ADAM ASPINALL

ROSE West is under pressure to tell all about the horrific crimes she and twisted husband Fred committed.

Her former solicitor, Leo Goatley, left, has begged the killer, 69, to admit her crimes and reveal if there are other victims.

He said: "There are things she should say, to help the families find closure.

AFTER 30 years in jail, Rose West is still “pleading total innocence” of every sickening, depraved crime she and her husband Fred committed.

Lawyer Leo Goatley, 67, represented West after she and her husband were first arrested in 1994 at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, the home where they raped and killed many of their victims.

He has now urged her to "find redemption" by confessing.

West was convicted of 10 murders and is in HM Prison New Hall, in Flockton, West Yorks. Mr Goatley says she is overweight, reclusive and in poor health.

She will be 70 in November and he hopes that she will be persuaded to give the families of victims closure by revealing all that she knows about the crimes she and her husband committed.

Mr Goatley, who represented her for 12 years, particularly wants her to reveal what she knows about the disappearance of Mary Bastholm, 15, in 1968.

He told the Mirror: "There is an awful lot Rose knows that she hasn't revealed.

"There isn't much that Fred did that she wasn't aware of. If her inner journey has really gone anywhere since she has been in prison there are things she should say that would help the families of her victims.

"To start with, she could clear up the Mary Bastholm disappearance.

"This blanket pleading of total ignorance of everything that happened is just daft at this point.
