THE CROSSBOW CANNIBAL

Profiling the story of Stephen Griffiths, who created his own deadly persona in the hope of following in the footsteps of his idol – serial killer Peter Sutcliffe.

Griffiths, a self-confessed cannibal, was desperately keen for infamy – a student of criminology that wanted to become an offender, a narcissist who longed for his moment of fame.

His gruesome murders allowed him to join the ranks of some of Britain’s most notorious murderers.

15 years since the ‘Crossbow Cannibal’ was arrested, this documentary looks at one of the most gruesome cases in British criminal history, profiling the making of a murderer who drew inspiration from other serial killers.
