Serial killer Rose West's reaction to her husband's death sent a chill down the spine of a prison governor.<\/p>\n

Rose and Fred tortured at least nine young women to death in sick sexual games, while she also murdered her eight-year-old stepdaughter Charmaine while Fred was in jail. She is one of only two British women in modern times to have been subjected to a whole life prison sentence.<\/p>\n

But in prison, Rose was referred to by warders as \u201cAuntie Rose\u201d, according to ex prison governor Vanessa Frake. And she was a model of good behaviour, quietly knitting an endless scarf and making the occasional cup of tea for her jailers.<\/p>\n

At one point, Vanessa told podcaster Shaun Attwood, Rose even persuaded a prison governor to take her on a day out to Regent\u2019s Park in central London, and buy her an ice cream. Vanessa recalled the moment when Rose was told that her husband had killed himself in HM Prison Birmingham.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rose was housed in the segregation unit at Holloway Prison in North London, which at the time was being supervised by Vanessa. \u201cIt was New Year\u2019s Day about four or five o\u2019clock, when the duty governor came down,\u201d Vanessa recalled.<\/p>\n
