Rose West is said to have ‘foamed at the mouth in anger’ as her pet budgie was torched alive in her prison cell.
The serial killer, who is now an inmate at HM Prison New Hall in West Yorkshire, was supposedly targeted by an arsonist during her stint behind bars in Durham and had her belongings burnt.
Former inmate Linda Calvey told Sir Trevor McDonald what went down in his ITV documentary tonight, stating that West resembled a ‘demon’ when she learnt her pet had been killed in the blaze.
‘There was about three arsonists on the wing,’ Linda recalled. ‘There had been a spate of three or four cells being set on fire.
‘Her budgie was left in, so they brought the budgie out and it was all sooty and black. Well, Rose was absolutely hysterical about her budgie.
‘She said, “How could anyone be so evil to light a fire and leave the budgie in a room?”‘
Sir Trevor asked how West demonstrated her anger, to which Linda claimed: ‘Suddenly you saw this switch to this absolutely raging creature, like a demon.
‘She was foaming at the mouth she was so enraged. Nobody should hurt an animal. But they can murder a child without blinking their eyes yet get hysterical over animals. I don’t get how their brains work.’
Linda had previously revealed that she once slapped serial killer Myra Hindley for singing in the laundry room at HMP Cookham Wood.
She recalled the incident to Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford on This Morning last year and said Hindley threatened to have her removed from the jail and sent back to Holloway prison, north London.
‘She [Hindley] rubbed her face and she said “I could get you sent back to Holloway for that”,’ Linda said.
‘And I said to her “Holloway holds no fears for me.” I had already been there for two years.
‘I just walked out and went next door and thought “Oh God”.’
Rose West and Myra Hindley: Their Untold Story With Trevor McDonald is available to stream on the ITV Hub.
