He was the second child and first son of Walter Stephen and Daisy Hannah West, descendants of several generations of farm labourers. He grew up in a large, close-knit family. He was not academically gifted, and had difficulty reading and writing. This led to him receiving a lot of punishments in school.#2 Fred West had a difficult relationship with his family after he was involved in a motorcycle accident in 1958, which left him with a broken arm and leg and a fractured skull. He eventually wound up with a plate in his skull, and his family noticed a change in his character following the accident.#3 Fred met Rena in 1958, and they started dating. They decided to get married, and in 1963, Rena gave birth to their daughter, Charmaine. Fred’s family did not like Rena, and they thought she was bad news for Fred. They left for Glasgow, and eventually Fred got a job with Rena’s pimp.#4 Anne McFall was the first victim that was linked to West. She was a young, pretty girl living on the shadowy periphery of society, and she had fallen in love with Fred. He had already exhibited the predilection for extreme sexual acts, which would later become the hallmark of his crimes.
