CESSPIT MURDER ACCUSED BLAMED FRED WEST

A PIG farmer accused of murdering his wife and dumping her body in a septic tank claimed serial killer Fred West could have been responsible, a court has been told.

David Venables, 89, allegedly killed his wife Brenda in May 1982 because he wanted to rekindle an affair with his secret mistress.

After dumping her body in the septic tank of their farmhouse, he walked into a police station and reported her missing, it is claimed.

He "got away with murder" for nearly 40 years until her skull was found in the cesspit when it was being emptied in 2019, jurors were told.

When Venables was arrested two weeks after the discovery he had already written a statement for police.
