But with the warmer weather, the bodies under the floors started decomposing at a rapid rate.

And with that process came the inevitable odors and bugs.

Oh, no.

Yes.

He had tried to hide the evidence of death by covering the bodies with deodorizer spray and insecticide.

But those did very little to mask the obvious.

Further complicating things was the fact that just a few weeks earlier, his landlord had informed him they were going to be renovating the entire building and were asking everyone to move out.

At first, Dennis resisted, but when the landlord offered him a good sum of money to leave before the end of the lease, he happily accepted.

One night in late September 1981, just a few days before he was moving out of the building on Melrose Avenue, Dennis Nielsen removed the bodies from their hiding spaces one by one and dismembered what was left of their remains.

A relatively easy process, given how much time had passed in the decomposition.

Once that was complete...

He carried the remains out to the bonfire in the back garden where he disposed of Stephen Holmes' body and burned what was left of his victims in a roaring fire.

In order to disguise the smell of burning human remains, he threw an old tire into the pit, hoping the smell of burning rubber would ward off any questions.

It absolutely did.

But he could just say it's the tire.

Now, in October, Dennis left the apartment on Melrose Avenue and moved into a small attic apartment on Cranley Gardens.

You might remember that from part one in London's Muswell Hill neighborhood.

Okay.

Ah.

Yeah.
