Lleyland Hickey. The name is synonymous with a serial killer responsible for the brutal murders of 26 people over 2 decades. One day, 23 years after his first murder and at the age of 36 he walks calmly into a police station and confesses to the crimes he had never been caught for. He chose to end his story this way. But how and why did he become such a prolific murderer that enabled him to forge a lifestyle that revolved around his psychosis at such a young age? How did the darkness grow? After all, the seed to becoming a killer starts somewhere. The journey begins back in 1986 where Lleyland is but a young boy struggling to deal with the traumatic loss of his father. It was like the glue holding the family together had been broken and while his mother desperately tried to put them back together again Lleyland became introverted with grief. At school he was subjected to the vilest and cruellest forms of bullying and taunts and then came his illnesses. Two coexisting autoimmune diseases that ravaged his appearance and eroded his personality accompanied by the voices, whispering and cajoling him with instructions to kill. Teetering on the edge of insanity a 13 year old Lleyland only has his mother to help him cling onto his last residues of normality. But there comes a time when people reach their breaking point and he was pushed and pushed until Lleyland finally reached his and snapped, unearthing something that was dark and deadly inside.
