Now, no longer able to hide the body in the cupboard or under the floorboards, again, because he's in that little attic, and he couldn't dispose of it in the garden, he dismembered John Howlett's remains and wrapped them tightly in plastic.

And then he placed them in various discreet places around his apartment.

What?

Yep.

Okay.

Also not knowing what else to do with the rest of John Howlett's body, he flushed the organs down the toilet.

Ah.

And other small pieces of flesh.

Uh-huh.

He also boiled John Howlett's head, hands, and feet.

Okay.

I remember how part one opened.

Yep.

So Dennis Nilsen's first set of murders committed at the Melrose Avenue apartment had all seemed to go more or less according to how he had planned them or barely planned them, I guess.

But beginning with Malcolm Barlow's murder right before he left the apartment...

He appeared to have been becoming more erratic and impulsive.

Yeah, frenzied.

He was killing not out of some kind of pathological need to.

He was just doing it when the opportunity presented itself.

Yeah.
