Often bare and simple, hiding their true nature, these chilling photos reveal the houses and flats in which killers dwell and feed their murderous lust.

From the corpse stacked home of American serial slaughterer Ed Gein to the squalid horror house of Fred and Rosemary West, these images reveal windows into the minds of people driven to kill.

These images come after Grindr serial killer Stephen Port was found guilty of killing and raping three young men who he lured back to his flat, the killer of MP Jo Cox Thomas Mair was found guilty as his home was discovered packed with Nazi memorabilia.

Thomas Mair, 53, shot and stabbed the 41-year-old Remain campaigner a week before the EU referendum vote.

A search of his home in Birstall, West Yorkshire, uncovered a gold Third Reich Eagle ornament on his bookcase among dozens of right wing texts.

Titles of the books included March of the Titans: A History of the White Race and SS Race Theory and Mate Selection Guidelines, and the films included Schindler's List and 1988 film Betrayed, which is about an FBI agent falling in love with a white supremacist.

Press cuttings on Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik, information about far right groups, and a "Deutschland" cap were all found in his home.

Mair also kept a dossier on Mrs Cox and her political history.

Stephen Port, 41, killed Jack Taylor, 25, Daniel Whitworth, 21, and Gabriel Kovari, 21, whom he met on gay dating app Grindr.

The callous cook stalked his victims online, plied them with booze spiked with the date-rape drug GHB and raped them while they were unconscious in his disturbingly normal looking one-bedroom flat.

Police pictures show an empty bottle of baby oil and a drawer containing various sex aides.

Port dumped the men's bodies in or near the same graveyard in Barking, east London, in an eloborate cover-up attempt.

The serial killer repeatedly lied to police and planted a fake suicide note in the hand of one of his victims.

Edward Tenniswood, 52, lured India Chipchase, 20, back to his strange home after coming across her on a night out before raping and strangling her to death.

It is within these sheet-covered walls the bookkeeper fed his delusions, keeping cutouts of pictures of pretty young women from magazines and convincing himself he once dated fashion model Heather Stewart-Whyte in the late 1980s.

He kept a cutting of a picture of Ms Stewart-Whyte - who bore a striking resemblance to India - and had a letter from the model from February 1987 among his belongings.

The self-obsessed killer stood in the witness box and held out his hand to the prosecutor saying "I will bet you £100" after alleging he had dated her – a fact which was proved after the trial to be fantasy.

Tenniswood will not be returning to his house of horrors after being jailed for 30 years at Birmingham Crown Court for India's rape and murder in August.

Serial killer and necrophiliac Dennis Nilsen lured as many as 12 homeless young gay men and prostitutes to his home before plying them with booze and murdering them from 1978 to 1983.

The sicko moved into a flat in Cranley Gardens, north London, and was only caught because he clogged the drains of the shared block with bits of rotting corpses and shattered bone.

Nilsen used to chop up his victims and flush them down the toilet.

A picture taken from inside of his flat shows a creepy squalid scene where many men met their end, with a filthy kitchen and dirty living room.

Some thirty years earlier, World War One veteran John Christie was also prowling london and slaying prostitutes and later his wife in a killing spree featuring eight known victims.

At his grotty Rillington Place home in Notting Hill he hid the bodies of five prostitutes in an alcove behind a kitchen cupboard and in the burying them in the garden.

Police even found a human leg bone propping up the fence.

Pictures show a rotten kitchen stacked with piles of clothes in a tumbledown house lifted straight from a horror film.

The bodies in the property were discovered when his landlord peeled back the wallpaper and found three bodies hidden behind the kitchen wall.

Christie was hanged for his crimes.

Fred and Rosemary West are two of the most notorious killers in British history – a couple with an appetite for sex crimes and murder.

When they met Fred and already a killer and a rapist, and they became a deadly duo luring young girls back to their homes in Midland Road and Cromwell Street in Gloucester.

Cromwell Street was one of the most infamous murder houses until it was torn down in 1996 and turned into a footpath.

Pictures show the grim concrete-walled basement where girls were tied up, abused and then killed before being buried in the garden and beneath the floor of the cellar.

Just months after the Wests were apprehended in July 1994, one of America’s most sinister serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer was beaten to death in his prison cell.

Dahmer raped, killed and dismembered 17 men and boys and in his later days of he also engaged in necrophilia and cannibalism.

Crime scene photos of the inside of his Milwaukee apartment are exceptionally disturbing.

Pictures show a relatively normal flat but police officers described the reek of death when they entered.

Hidden in the freezer and in blue drums where stacks of human bodies parts, some of them slowly dissolving in acid.

Sat on in his bedroom were seven human skulls, some of which Dahmer had lovingly painted.

But Dahmer’s murder memorabilia pales in comparison to Ed Gein’s, the killer who was the inspiration for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Pictures show a cluttered house covered in newspapers with random bits and pieces scattered around the floor.

Searching his house cops found a bin made of human skins, skulls saw in half and turned into candles, bowls made from human skulls, skulls on his bedposts and garments made out of human flesh.

Gein would dig up the bodies of the recently dead and chop them up to create trophies and keepsakes.

He also killed two women before being caught and declared insane.

Horrific pictures also emerged from the home kidnapper Ariel Castro.The sicko kept a dungeon where he repeatedly beat and raped three women for 11 years, all the while claiming to be a "nice guy".

Images show a home where the girls were chained to the bed and forced to just eat one meal a day.Castro would menace them with a gun and at one point locked all three of them in a car in his garage while he had a visitor for three days. He forced the women to wear a motorcyle helmet while he raped them.The madman also inducedmiscarriages when they became pregnant, results in charges of aggravated murder. Castro hanged himself one month into his prison sentence.
