Crossbow Cannibal Stephen Griffiths Remains Imprisoned After Triple Bradford Murders

Prime Video has released a new 90-minute documentary titled The Crossbow Cannibal, which explores the chilling case of Stephen Griffiths, a self-confessed cannibal who murdered three sex workers in Bradford using a crossbow before dismembering and consuming their body parts. Griffiths, who was a criminology student and sought infamy, was arrested after CCTV footage showed him shooting Suzanne Blamires and dragging her away; he later confessed to two additional murders but claimed to have killed many more. His case, branded "wicked and monstrous" at his 2010 sentencing, resulted in a whole life order, and he remains incarcerated at HMP Full Sutton. The documentary features interviews with criminal experts and Griffiths' sister Caroline, who revealed early signs of his violent tendencies. It also delves into Griffiths' fascination with other serial killers, such as Peter Sutcliffe, highlighting his desire to emulate notorious offenders. The film provides a sobering look at both Griffiths' disturbed psychology and the vulnerable community of sex workers he targeted.
