Depraved serial killer Joanna Dennehy bizarrely joked with her arresting officers that ‘It could be worse – I could be fat,’ it has emerged.

A shocking CCTV video has shown how the triple killer, 31, laughed and bantered her way into the police station with comments such as ‘Am I suicidal? No. Am I cheery now? Yes.’

Dennehy was yesterday given a whole life prison sentence for murdering three men within 10 days and the attempted slaughter of two more innocent victims.

Smirking in the dock as she was told that she will die behind bars, the judge condemned her as ‘cruel, calculating, selfish and sadistic’, as well as showing ‘no remorse’.

She is only the third British woman – alongside Myra Hindley and Rose West – to receive a whole life sentence.



As reported by the Daily Mirror, Dennehy told police minutes after her arrest: ‘It could be worse – I could be big, fat, and ugly.

‘Attempted murder and murder is nothing. It’s like going down for a Sunday roast, easy.’

In the video Dennehy also tries to avoid being put in an ‘anti-suicide smock’, describing it as ‘huge’.

Later she appears to change her mind, saying it is ‘amazing’. A PC reluctantly entertaining her twisted behaviour says ‘it looks good,’ to which she responds: ‘Thanks for that, that makes me feel so good, real sexy.’
