'Most gruesome case in British history' dissected in true crime documentary hitting screens this week - with harrowing testimony from murderous cannibal's family
Cannibal Stephen Griffiths was handed a life sentence after he killed the women, who working in the red light district in Bradford, between 2009 and 2010.
The monster, who dismembered and ate some of the body parts of his victims, used a powerful crossbow and a knife.
Now, a brand new documentary will chart the killer's crimes and air testimonies from the victim's devastated families.
Stephen's sister Caroline will also appear in the 90-minute show, speaking publicly for the first time about her brother.
She's expected to detail her twisted siblings bizarre and violent behaviour throughout their childhood.
Airing on Prime Video from July 12, the show is titled The Crossbow Cannibal - the same name Stephen chillingly gave himself in court.
Teasing the show, an official synopsis reads: '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.'
The Bradford criminology student, who told police he was studying for a PhD in homicide, killed 43-year-old Susan Rushworth, who disappeared in June 2009, followed by 31-year-old Shelley Armitage in April 2010, and then 36-year-old Suzanne Blamires in May of the same year.
Leeds Crown Court was told disturbing details of the killings by the then-40-year-old including the shocking revelation that 81 different pieces of Ms Blamires were found in or by the River Aire in Shipley.
When he was arrested Griffiths told police 'I've killed loads' and claimed he had eaten some of Ms Blamires's flesh, adding: 'That's part of the magic.'
Stephen was previously the subject of another crime show, which aired last year on Channel 5 called Serial Killer Wives.
It heard from Kathy Hancock, 37, who dated Griffiths and was once a prison officer at Full Sutton Prison, near York.
Kathy recounted the horror of living with the monstrous killer, recalling how he once drugged her and laughed as she lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, last month true crime fans were left gripped by a BBC show that they 'binge-watched in one sitting'.
The four-part series, titled The Black Forest Murders, was recently acquired by the broadcaster.
Based on the non-fiction book SOKO Erle by Walter Roth, the German show takes inspiration from the criminal cases of two murdered women in southern Germany.
The fictional series stars Nina Kunzendorf as Senior Detective Barbara Kramer and Tilman Strauß as Thomas Riedle, amongst others.
A synopsis reads: 'The clock is ticking... When a woman is bludgeoned to death, detectives face mounting pressure to crack the case and catch a killer.

Met police officers who strip-searched black schoolgirl, 15, while she was on her period are guilty of gross misconduct
Two Metropolitan Police officers who strip-searched a 15-year-old black schoolgirl while she was on her period have been found guilty of gross misconduct. The incident, which took place at a school in Hackney, east London, in 2020, saw the girl, known as Child Q, searched by officers who believed she was carrying cannabis. A misconduct panel concluded that the strip search, which involved the exposure of her intimate parts, was 'disproportionate, inappropriate and unnecessary.' No drugs were found on the child. The hearing also heard how the ordeal left the schoolgirl feeling 'humiliated' and 'degraded.' Trainee Detective Constable Kristina Linge and Police Constable Rafal Szmydynski were criticised for their handling of the situation and now could face being sacked from the force. It was concluded that they failed to ensure that an appropriate adult was present during the strip search - as is required when a minor is involved - and for not seeking senior officer authorisation beforehand. They also failed to provide the girl with a copy of the search record, in direct breach of police policy and training. The misconduct panel concluded the officers did not respect the girl's rights as a child and failed to give her the protection she was entitled to under the law. A third officer, PC Victoria Wray, was also found to have committed misconduct for not questioning whether the search was proportionate or checking whether it had been properly authorised. She too breached police standards relating to duties and responsibilities, authority, respect and courtesy, and following orders and instructions. However, the panel did not find that any of the officers had breached standards relating to equality and diversity, or honesty and integrity. Crucially, it concluded there was no evidence that race was a factor in their decisions, nor that the girl had been 'adultified.' The four-week disciplinary hearing was led by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) and chaired by Met Commander Jason Prins. In 2022 the incident sparked protests on the streets where they were heard chanting 'no justice, no peace, abolish the police' and 'racist cops, out of schools'. They also held up signs reading 'no to racist police, justice for Child Q' and 'we say no to police in schools', as well as Black Lives Matter banners. They also chanted 'shame on you' at officers outside the station, footage on social media showed. A protester from Catcalls of London, an Instagram-based awareness group, wrote messages in multi-coloured chalk on the pavement, with one reading: 'Dearest Child Q, the systems designed to protect you failed you. 'We see you. We stand here for you. We are with you.' Commander Kevin Southworth said: 'The experience of Child Q should never have happened and was truly regrettable. 'We have sincerely apologised to Child Q since this incident happened. Again, I am deeply sorry to Child Q and her family for the trauma that we caused her, and the damage this incident caused to the trust and confidence black communities across London have in our officers. 'While the officers involved did not act correctly, we acknowledge there were organisational failings. Training to our officers around strip search and the type of search carried out on Child Q was inadequate, and our oversight of the power was also severely lacking. 'This left officers, often young in service or junior in rank, making difficult decisions in complex situations with little information, support or clear resources to help their decision-making. 'What happened to Child Q was a catalyst for change both for the Met and for policing nationally. 'While we should not have needed an incident such as Child Q to check our approach, it has absolutely led us to improving our processes and significantly reducing the number of these types of searches carried out. 'It's crucial we get this right to ensure the impact on young people is minimised as far as possible. 'Sadly, we know there are children in London being exploited to carry drugs and weapons for others as well as involved in criminality, so these types of searches have to remain within police powers. The work we have done since Child Q means we now have the right safeguards in place.'

Pregnant mother, 39, who launched a brutal attack on a 'random' pensioner at a FUNERAL walks free from court
A pregnant mother-of-three who launched a brutal attack on a pensioner during a funeral wake, leaving the 65-year-old victim hospitalised and with life-changing injuries, has walked free from court. Danielle Oliver, 39, threw herself at Belinda Stickland without warning inside the Conservative Club in Splott, Cardiff, during a family funeral on June 9 last year. The assault was so severe that it left the pensioner with fractured ribs, breathing difficulties and a lasting diagnosis of emphysema. Cardiff Crown Court heard how Ms Stickland had to be rushed to hospital and kept in for nine days, during which doctors drained fluid from her lungs. She later said the violent and prolonged attack had changed her life 'in every way'. Prosecutor Kirsten Murphy described how the unprovoked attack was caught on CCTV, which showed Oliver looking up from her phone before launching herself at the older woman near the bar. Once on the ground, Stickland was left helpless as Oliver continued to gesture menacingly, prompting bar staff to intervene and drag her out of the venue. In court, Ms Stickland's harrowing victim impact statement revealed the true cost of the assault. 'I was attending the funeral of a close friend on the day I was assaulted. It changed my life in so many ways. It took my sparkle away,' she said. 'I am now a shell of a person, Oliver was a stranger to me, and yet now she is woven into the fabric of my everyday. 'I used to go out and enjoy my life and speak to my neighbours but now I can't leave the house. I feel it is too unsafe.' Addressing her attacker directly, she asked: 'What if you had killed me? What if you had left my children without their mother? What if you had left my grandchildren without their nan? 'I don't just live with the physical injuries, I continue to live with the mental trauma. I am no longer me.' Judge Simon Mills said the footage made clear just how 'heavily' the victim had fallen. He said: 'Any idea that a single blow to the face doesn't do any harm is completely wide of the mark. You could today have been facing prosecution for manslaughter. 'I have heard you are surprised by the seriousness of your victim's injuries. 'Well, I'm afraid in the job that I do, I see all of the time how momentary acts of violence have very serious consequences and sometimes fatal consequences. 'Once you lay your hands on someone else in such a way, then the consequences can be truly catastrophi,c and they arguably have been in this case.' He added: 'I am not going into the background of why you made the decision you did. You were pregnant at the time and I'm aware your medication had to be adjusted. 'An issue was brought to your attention which caused you to make completely the wrong decision.' The court heard Oliver, of Braunton Avenue in Llanrumney, had two prior convictions but none considered aggravating. She was arrested four days after the attack and remained largely uncooperative in the interview, answering 'no comment' to all questions before eventually admitting to assault occasioning grievous bodily harm. Defending Oliver, Dan Jones, said she did not intend to cause such serious harm and cited her responsibilities as a single parent, including care for a child with specific needs. The court also heard that medication changes during her pregnancy may have contributed to her state of mind. Judge Mills handed down a 66-week prison sentence, suspended for two years. Oliver must complete a 10-day rehabilitation programme and was handed a five-year restraining order banning any contact with her victim. The judge opted not to impose compensation, citing Oliver's financial limitations. Outside court, Ms Stickland's daughter, Jinaise, said the family was ready to move forward after two years of waiting. 'My mother is 65 now and shouldn't have had to put up with this. 'The puncture has given her emphysema. My mother is already closer to the coffin than most, and she shouldn't have to have anyone wanting to put her in there any sooner by assaulting her.'
