He gathered the lost, the lonely, the grieving—and turned their need for kindness into a nightmare. A trusted figure, a secret obsession, and a trail of bodies flushed down London’s drains.

Between 1978 and 1983, Dennis Nilsen—known as the Muswell Hill Murderer—lured dozens of vulnerable young men, many of them gay and homeless, into his North London flats. What began as offers of shelter, company, even a date, devolved into strangulation, necrophilia, and gruesome rituals of dissection and disposal.

In Part 2, we follow the chilling unraveling of Nilsen’s double life: the domestic facade, the mounting odor beneath floorboards, and his tril. As we peel back layers of homophobia, isolation, and queerness twisted into violence, we confront how society failed its queer and queer-adjacent victims in this unsolved LGBTQ+ mystery.

Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.
