What early childhood events shaped Graham Young’s fascination with poisons?
The teacup poisoner is one of the most unique and sadistic serial killers to ever come out of Britain. His method, unlike any other, would gradually poison the people around him to be able to watch them slowly and painfully die in front of his eyes. And it turns out the victims of his crimes were nothing more than guinea pigs to him, just test subjects, just games. to play until they eventually succumbed to his poisons and died. Hello and welcome to Outlaw Podcast. I'm Eleanor Neal, and today we're serving you up a true crime case from the vault. This episode was originally posted to my YouTube channel years ago before we existed as Outlaw Podcast, but I think it's time we add it to the Outlaw catalogue.
So now I will hand back to me from the past to take it away with today's Vault case. And quickly before we get into this video. I do just want to give my usual disclaimer that I mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone that I talk about in this video. This video is for educational purposes, and everything that I'm about to say is just information that I have found on the internet and I'm compiling into one video. Quickly before we get into this case, I do just want to give some content warnings. In this video, we're gonna be discussing themes of suicidal thoughts, psychopathy, personality disorders, schizophrenia. And there's also gonna be talk of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime and like um adoration of that, you know, like support of that.
So if any of that is triggering to you and you don't think you can watch this video, I totally understand. Click out now. Hopefully, I'll get to see you some other time with a different video. But look after yourself, and with all that being said, let's get into the case. So today's case is a very unique. One. I know I've used that word so many times, but it just is. Everything about it is so characteristically different. So I can't sit here and tell you what city it took place in because it took place in multiple cities. And I can't sit here and tell you how old the serial killer was because he was a bunch of different ages. It just seemed that tragedy followed Graham Young wherever he went. Graham Frederick Young was born on September 7th, 1947, in northwest London to his parents Fred and Molly.
Graham was the younger of two children. He had an older sister who was actually quite a bit older than him, I think by like six or seven years. Her name was Winifred. But sadly, just a couple of months after Graham was born, when he was still a newborn baby. His life started to fall apart around him. His mother Molly fell very suddenly ill shortly after giving birth to Graham. She had tuberculosis and it came on really, really quickly and progressed really, really rapidly. She was very ill. Within just a couple of months of getting her diagnosis, Molly passed away from her tuberculosis. And what was supposed to be one of the happiest Times of the family's lives, you know, welcoming a new baby in, they couldn't even enjoy or celebrate because now they were dealing with such huge loss and grief.
And of course, the father of the family took it the worst, Fred, because not only was he grieving the loss of his wife, but now he was also trying to be a very suddenly single parent. He was trying to care for these two kids and go to work and get money. And put food on the table. It was just proving far too difficult for him, and he very quickly ended up handing both of the kids to relatives to take care of. This was only supposed to be temporary, just until Fred kind of earned a little bit more money and got himself a little bit more stable, and then he was planning to bring his kids back and be a family again. So the kids were split up. Winifred was sent to go and live with her father's parents, so her
Paternal grandparents, and Graham was sent to go and live with his auntie Winnie, which was his dad's sister. And this was the situation for three years. So for the first three years of Graham's life, he is being raised by his auntie Winnie. Yeah. And he was pretty much separated from his father and his sister.
