Shamed Jimmy Savile is now officially one of Britain's worst ever sex offenders
Sunday October 28,2012 By Ben Borland
PAEDOPHILE Jimmy Savile "confessed" to murder on national television,
sparking new fears that the monster's reign of terror may have been worse than
ever imagined.
He was speaking in 2002 after the infamous Louis Theroux documentary, in which
the shamed pervert was secretly filmed boasting about his brutal criminal past
as a nightclub proprieter in Leeds.
Brandishing one of his trademark cigars, he hisses: "I mean, he was having a go
to try and get a bit of salacious TV so of course I suddenly drop into Godfather
mode.
"If he wants to die, he can die. He won't be the first that I've put away."
At the time, Theroux laughed off the apparent threat and said he took Savile's
menacing words "with a grain of salt".
However, detectives were yesterday urged to "keep an open mind" about whether
the now-notorious presenter may have been telling the truth.
'Savile was very much a teaser, he liked to titillate people to get
attention'---Forensic psychologist Dr Ian Stephen
Shamed Savile is now officially one of Britain's worst ever sex offenders, with
police dealing with up to 300 victims and more expected to emerge.
It has also emerged that he boasted of his links to organised crime and the IRA,
had a bizarre relationship with serial killer Peter Sutcliffe and a macabre
fascination with dead bodies.
Yesterday, one of Britain's leading criminologists urged police to consider
investigating Savile as a suspect in historic 'cold case' murders and missing
persons investigations.
Forensic psychologist Dr Ian Stephen said: "Paedophiles are a totally different
type of criminal altogether from people who have killed women in a prolific
manner. It would be very unusual to find somebody of that type, but having said
that he had the money and he had the power.
"In a sense what he was saying [in the documentary] was I'm telling you this but
you don't know, that's the way he lived his life. He was the nice guy who did
all sorts of things for charity, that's the man you see but there's a side to me
that you don't see.
"Its like Peter Tobin, he won't tell anybody what he's done, it is all a big
game for him. Tobin is in a different league to Savile, but he played games as
well. All the things he did were games, his TV programmes, his charities, being
around people in hospitals - they were all games.
"He was saying, 'I'm the great Jimmy Savile' and at the same time he's going
around groping young people. It is possible that he upped the game, that he
needed to get that buzz from getting away with it, and the question is does he
increase it? There is always that risk with people who are sensation seekers,
they sometimes get bored and raise it and the possibilities are there."
Dr Stephen also said the Metropolitan Police and other forces should "keep an
open mind" with regards to Savile and any open murder cases.
He said: "They could be looking at places he was, places where people
disappeared, that is how they have done it with other people.
"I don't know if they can get anything from that but if some of his victims
start talking about attempts to kill them, or instances where the abuse turned
physical as opposed to sexual, they might start looking around other
possibilities."
Yesterday, it emerged that Savile had assaulted one of his victims live on air
during a crowded scene on Top of the Pops.
Dr Stephen, who has worked on a number of serial killer cases and advised the
makers of TV's Cracker, said he probably got a thrill from committing crimes -
or admitting them - in front of the nation.
He said: "Savile was very much a teaser, he liked to titillate people to get
attention, it gave him a feeling of power to raise questions without people
actually knowing the truth.
"He liked to have the knowledge that he was Jimmy Savile and he was untouchable.
He had this image that he was a good person and it must have been hard to keep
up, almost too hard."
Savile was one of several celebrities who had featured on Theroux's
documentaries who were interviewed for Living With Louis, which was broadcast on
the BBC in 2002.
