CRAZY Story of Graham Young - Serial Killer
A serial poisoner with an obsession for toxicology and death, Young began experimenting with lethal substances before he even reached adulthood. His crimes, which spanned from the 1960s to the early 1970s, stunned the UK and exposed dangerous gaps in the mental health and criminal justice systems.
Graham’s mother died when he was just a few months old. His father eventually remarried, and Graham was raised in a blended household.
From an early age, he exhibited unusual behaviors: a fascination with Nazism, death, and especially poisons.
At age 9, he was reading chemistry textbooks and books on toxicology far beyond his age level.
By 13, he was testing poisons — first on himself, then on family members, under the guise of harmless curiosity. He idolized historical poisoners like Dr. Crippen and saw death as a scientific challenge.
