Whips used by killers Fred and Rose West to torture their victims have been put on display in a museum exhibition labelled 'sick' by a victims group.

The display at Littledean Jail in Gloucester includes objects taken from the sick couple's now-demolished ' House of Horrors .'

Their house at 25 Cromwell Street in Gloucester, where the mutilated bodies of nine young women were found, was levelled in 1996.

But ghoulish 'memorabilia' has surfaced in a museum, including whips they used on their victims.

According to the Mail Online , the curator of The Crime Through Time Collection, Andy Jones, said he had been able to enter the house before it was demolished and after Fred West was arrested in February 1994.

He claimed a 'close family source' had given him access.

He told the same website: "It is well documented in various books that the whips were used on some of their victims.

"These actually came from Cromwell Street. We acquired them more or less of the time of the arrest back in 1994. I've had them a long time."

But Kevin Hogg, from the National Victims Association, told the Mail: "Putting these things on display is just absolutely sick and not normal. It is very sadistic.

"To have something so graphic absolutely turns my stomach."

The Wests were arrested in 1994 for murder after police discovered the remains of missing young women at their home.

Fred hanged himself in prison before he could face trial while Rose will spend the rest of her life behind bars for the murder of 10 young women after implicating her husband.
