Anthony Hardy was jailed
for life for killing three women.
Hardy - who had been released from a psychiatric hospital
after doctors thought he would be no danger to the public
- dismembered two women and left their body parts in a bin
near his Camden home.
Months earlier another woman had been found dead in his
flat - but her death had initially been put down to
natural causes.
Hardy, aged 53, pleaded
guilty at the Old Bailey to murdering Sally White,
Elizabeth Valad and Bridgette MacClennan.
In sentencing him, judge Mr Justice Keith said: "Only you
know for sure how your victims met their deaths but the
unspeakable indignities to which you subjected the bodies
of your last two victims in order to satisfy your depraved
and perverted needs are in no doubt."
Parts of the dismembered remains of Miss MacClennan, 34,
and Miss Valad, 29, who both lived in London, were found
in bin bags in the early hours of 30th December 2002.
The body of Miss White, 31, who also lived in London, was
found in his flat in January 2002.
The Metropolitan Police revealed that Hardy had been
investigated for three rapes, but there was insufficient
evidence to bring a case against him.
