Linda’s murder

Three months after Caroline’s abduction, in the spring of 1973, Linda Gough came to the Wests for support having had an argument with her parents. The nineteen-year-old seamstress had visited the house often in the past as she had had relationships with two of their lodgers. She had also babysat for the Wests.

Now someone took Rose’s former babysitter to the cellar and bound her face with surgical and brown tape. What happened next will probably never fully be known, but it’s believed that all of the cases involved sexual torture. The Wests vaginally penetrated and sodomised many of their consensual sexual partners with large vibrators, so it’s likely they did the same thing to the young woman they eventually killed. Fred had also told one of his earlier potential sexual partners that she could burn or flog him or let him do the same to her…

It’s likely that Linda was suspended from the ceiling whilst these abuses were taking place, as Fred had fashioned holes in the beams. When finally imprisoned, he told one of his sons that he hung his victims there.

After Linda died, Fred completely dismembered her body and buried it below the house. It would remain there for the next twenty-one years and when it was finally unearthed by the authorities, some small bones would be missing. The tape that had been used to silence her was found still wrapped around the skull.

Meanwhile, Linda’s parents began to search for her. Her mother went to Cromwell Street and Rose answered but said that she didn’t know a Linda Gough. But Mrs Gough pointed out that Rose was wearing Linda’s slippers - and that some of her daughter’s clothes were drying on Rose’s washing line. At this stage Rose admitted she’d remembered who Linda was, but said that she’d gone. Linda’s recent relationship with her parents had been awkward, so though they searched for her they didn’t assume the worst when she didn’t get in touch.
