Introduction
On February 8, 1983, Michael Cattran was sent out to check the drainpipes at the residence of 23 Cranley Gardens, in the middle-classed neighborhood of Muswell Hill, London. Cattran was an employee of Dyno-Rod, an emergency drainage and plumbing company. February was always the worst time of year to go on these types of calls, since the ground was frozen, the weather was cold, and working outside was brutal.
After arriving at the location that evening, he removed the drain cover on the side of the house. He discovered there was a strange fatty-like substance blocking the drain, with tiny bones mixed in. Cattran thought it was likely somebody had been flushing the bones and uneaten bits of Kentucky Fried Chicken in the toilet. It was getting dark by then and he knew he wouldn’t have enough time to clean out the entire drain that night. He would have to return in the morning to finish the job.
The next morning at 7 a.m., Cattran informed his supervisor what he had found upon initial inspection of the Cranley residence the night before. His supervisor decided to go with him to see what it was they were dealing with. Throughout the day, the two men worked on the drainage system guessing that the bone and flesh-like substance was coming from the apartment on the top floor.
The job was going along as expected until they discovered what looked like a human hand. They called the police immediately. When the police arrived, they took the hand and some of the fleshy substance to the mortuary at Hornsey. The mortuary confirmed that those samples were all of human origin. The police returned to the house and waited for the upstairs tenant to come home.
Dennis Nilsen, who lived in the top floor apartment, returned home from work at precisely 5:15 p.m. He entered the lobby of the building, removed his jacket and shoes upon entering so he wouldn’t track any of the snow and mud upstairs to his apartment.
Just then, the two policemen that had been waiting approached him and introduced themselves. They told Nilsen that they were there because of the problems with the apartment building’s drainage pipes. Nilsen asked, since when do the police care about drainage or plumbing?
They responded that they needed to see Nilsen’s apartment to discuss the matter further.
Nilsen escorted Detective Chief Inspector Jay and another officer to his apartment and let them in. The detective informed Nilsen that the drains had been plugged by human flesh and bone. Nilsen responded that he thought it was awful. The detective, not wanting to waste time, asked him straight out where the body was. Nilsen, without hesitating, told him that it was in the plastic bags in the kitchen.
The policemen opened one of
