S03E09 - “Devilman” David Harker (The Murder of Julie Paterson)

In the ninth episode of British Murders Season 3, I tell the story of "Devilman" David Harker.⁣⁣

In April 1998, David Harker killed Julie Paterson in his flat by strangulation.⁣⁣

He then claimed to have cut off some flesh from Julie's thigh, fried it in garlic butter and ate it with pasta.⁣

David also claimed to be a necrophiliac and told psychiatrists he'd had sex with Julie's corpse before wiping it down with bleach and sawing off her head and limbs.⁣

To this day, Julie Paterson's head, arms and legs have never been found.⁣

David Harker pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 14 years.⁣⁣
