The sell-out ‘Psychology Of Serial Killers’ talk is coming to Manchester this year

If you love nothing more than binging true crime docs on Netflix, then this new event is for you.

The hugely popular ‘Psychology Of Serial Killers’ talk is coming to Manchester this year, but you best be quick if you want tickets as it usually sells out.

It’s hosted by expert Jennifer Rees, who will debunk common serial killer myths – you may be surprised by what you learn.

During the talk, you’ll discover how serial killers are classified, the differences between lust killers like the BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) Killer, and visionary killers such as David Berkowitz (Son of Sam).

Jennifer will explore different categories of serial killers, using case studies to illustrate, as well as discussing the typical differences between male and female killers – again using case studies.

You’ll also investigate the phenomenon of killer couples like Fred and Rose West, as well as local killers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, who were responsible for the Moors Murders.

The talk will also delve into the Folie à deux syndrome, a.k.a ‘shared psychosis’, and you’ll also learn about Hybristophilia and the astounding case of the Night Crawler’s trial.

To answer the question ‘why do women fall in love with known serial killers?’ Jennifer will discuss the clinical knowledge surrounding why serial killers gain admirers, fan mail, and even spouses in light of their atrocious crimes.

And how common are homicidal fantasies? Have you ever fantasised about killing someone? You may be surprised by the results of the research on the subject.

You get to watch a fascinating time-lapse video of facial reconstruction on the skull of a discovered body, and about the identification of John and Jane Does – how are victims identified?

It’s coming to the BEC Arena, Manchester on Friday May 22nd, and you can get more info on the Facebook page here, and grab tickets from here.
