| "I caused
dreams which caused death."
"In the morning he was lying dead on one of the beds
fully clothed. He was dead. I got the impression he wanted
to go, and I must have killed him. I can't remember strangling
him. I just sat there shocked."
"I wished I could stop but I could not. I had no
other thrill or happiness."
"I saw him . . . at peace in my armchair. I remember
wishing he could stay in peace like that forever. I had a
feeling of easing his burden with my strength."
"I stood there amazed. I found it all hard to believe,
that I, Des Nilsen, had actually done all that."
"It was as easy as taking candy from a baby. I remember
thinking, 'You will have no more troubles, squire.' I felt
I was doing him a favor. I felt his life was one long struggle."
"The victim is the dirty platter after the feast
and the washing-up is a clinically ordinary task . . . Occasionally
I hear a piece of music which was playing at the time of
the killings - then I become extremely disturbed."
"I don't lose sleep over what I have done or have nightmares
about it." |
