He's about 39, 40 at this point.

As the witness put it, Savile was violent that night, really nasty when he turned scary.

And this, amongst all the other stories we've told, is why we're pretty sure that Jimmy Savile probably killed someone at some point in his life.

In his defense, a bunch of rugby teenagers, I mean, you just want to fight them.

Concerning murder, Jimmy Savile may have simply gone too far on occasion and had accidentally killed someone.

He may have ordered one of his many goons to kill someone who was inconvenient, or he may have just tried it on once or twice just to see what it felt like.

At the very least, we do know that he is responsible for many deaths by suicide that came as a result of his actions.

But more than anything, I think Savile was sort of like David Parker Ray, the toy box killer.

I think Jimmy Savile reveled in the trauma he caused, just like he relished the memory of finding the severed hand after the Nazi bombing raid he survived when he was a young boy.

I think that it's likely he murdered a child during one of those, you know, the rings that he was in in the 60s.

Now, Jimmy Savile had learned by this point that people would let him do whatever he wanted just so long as he was able to claim that it was all for charity.
