Yeah.

Now, it wasn't like he didn't think about killing in this time.

Like, that wasn't like he just was like, you know what, I'm not going to be that person.

And he even came pretty close one night in late November.

On the afternoon of November 23rd, he met 19-year-old Paul Nobbs, a student of European Studies at a local bookstore.

They chatted for a short time before Dennis invited him back to his apartment for dinner, and he agreed.

After Dennis prepared dinner, they sat on the couch and watched television while having a few drinks, the normal thing he does.

After one or two drinks, Nobbs called his mother to say he'd be home soon.

He's only 19.

But a short time later, he began feeling ill and called again to say he was instead going to stay the night with a friend.

Oh, no.

The next morning, when Nobs woke up, he was very hungover.

So he staggered to the bathroom, and when he looked in the mirror, he saw he had a deep red mark around his neck and some bruising.

Though he had no recollection of what had happened or what could have caused the injury.

Yeah.

Before leaving, Dennis gave Nobs his phone number and told him he should go see a doctor because he looked terrible.

After leaving, Paul stumbled down the street to a local pub where he ran into one of his friends from school, and the other man helped him get to the University College Hospital nearby.

Upon being examined, the emergency room doctor informed Nobbs that, quote, his symptoms were consistent with a classic case of strangulation.

Yeah.

He was given some tranquilizers and told to go home and rest, which he did.
