The Last "Victim" of the Serial Killer - Dennis Nilsen

​This is "Bleep". Bleep was a Border Collie cross. She was also the last victim of Britain's most notorious serial killer Dennis Nilsen. What? Did Dennis didn't kill her too? No! Of course he didn't. Dennis loved Bleep, and - like all good dog owners - he fed her, stroked her, walked her and would do anything to defend her. Dennis Nilsen loved his dog.

​But, just three days after Dennis Nilsen was imprisoned for the murder of six men, and the attempted murder of two others (the rest's bodies were never fully found)...

...Bleep was put to death by lethal injection. Her only crime? Being a faithful, loyal and loving dog... of a serial killer. ‪#‎RIPBleep‬

Bleep can be seen in Dennis' home videos here.

Bleep was a lovely dog and I agree she should have gone to a nice home. Dennis, was kind to her. I only met her on one occasion.

I am a life long dog lover and what happened to Bleep was sad. But thinking about it it was probably the kindest thing for her. You see people are cruel. They would see Bleep out and about and know who her owner was and some would take out their anger over what her owner did and hurt her. She would have been hurt probably a good few times and suffered needlessly and would never understand why. A lethal injection is painless and she would have just drifted off into a peaceful sleep and never woken up. She would never have known pain and that is what she deserved.

I hope Dennis & Bleep would reunite, or atleast meetup in some form, in the afterlife..if it exists.

Poor, poor Bleep. A lovely dog. Shame on the police. Three days was not enough for a new companion for her to come forward.

The police had two reports of attempted murder regarding Nielsen, yet they ignored them . I believe this was because the complainants were homosexual. So they could have least done right by the dog.

I absolutely agree. Bleep was so timid an d good natured, she would have easily found a new owner. If you want to know more about Dennis Nilsen and Bleep, they appear in Episode 11 & 12 of my Murder Mile True-Crime Podcast, which I hope yiou will find interesting

Love the podcast. I've listened since the beginning. I really like your presentation style. I visit London often and will one day join you on the tour. Hopefully soon.

I arrived here after googling Bleep. I remembered what happened to Myra Hindley's dog Puppet and my mind went to Bleep so I googled to see where she went. First page on list was yours.

I'm so furious with the police. My dogs are everything to me. The things that the owners did should not reflect on the poor animals.

The reasoning behind Bleep's destruction was that when he was caught police found saucepans with boiling flesh in them in Nilson's flat. They could not guarantee that the dog hadn't been fed the meat (as a means of disposal). They worried that if she had a taste for human flesh, she may go on to attack.

As you say, Bleep was a gentle creature (as most Border Collies are), and wouldn't hurt a fly. Very sad. RIP dear Bleep.

some 40 years ago I accepted a lift from Dennis Nilsen. He was driving a white Morris car with Bleep sitting on the back seat. I was on my way home from Hyde Park to Ealing Broadway when he pulled up against the kerb and offered me the lift. I accepted and eventually decided to ask him to drop me off after about 10 minutes. He seemed quite relaxed and told me about his work in the forces. There was something not quite right about this chap. I am a straight person and he started making small talk about homosexuality. That is when i said drop me off and he did without any nuisance or remarks. This was in September 1977. I believe he had not yet started his killing sprees. I guess I was very lucky at the time.

I don't believe Nielsen would make small talk about homosexuality to an unknown. His line in conversation, to get someone to his flat, was informing newcomers he had alcohol there and he was a trained chef that would cook them a meal.

Poor Bleep! I would have taken care of her. She would of have to been washed and groomed and then fed a suitable diet. She was a victim like anyone else. I hope she has found heaven. RIP! Xxx

That's the RSPCA for you. They're all about money which I unfortunately know from personal experience. RIP Bleep I hope you've found love over the rainbow bridge ❤

What a lowlife thing to do. Kill the dog, but not the perpetrator of the crime.
