  • Colin Ireland is a British serial killer known as the "Gay Slayer" because he specifically murdered gay men. He killed a total of five men and one cat. Ireland, who had picked up convictions for burglary and robbery in his twenties, decided to become a serial killer as a New Year resolution at the beginning of 1993. That year, while living in Southend, he started frequenting The Coleherne pub, a gay pub in west London. It was known as a place where men cruised for sexual partners and wore colour coded handkerchiefs that indicated their preferred role. Ireland sought men who liked the passive role and sadomasochism, so he could readily restrain them as they initially believed it was a sexual game. Ireland claimed to be heterosexual — he had been married — and that he pretended to be gay only to befriend potential victims. It is unknown whether Ireland's murders were sexually motivated. Ireland was highly organised. He carried a full murder kit of rope and handcuffs and a full change of clothes to each murder. After killing the victim he cleaned the flat of any forensic evidence linking him to the scene and stayed in the flat until morning in order to avoid arousing suspicion from leaving in the middle of the night.
  • Colin Ireland on brittiläinen sarjamurhaaja. Hänen uhreikseen joutui viisi homoseksuaalista miestä Englannissa. Ireland kertoi olevansa heteroseksuaali. Hän oli aiemmin ollut naimisissa, eikä murhien taustalla tiedetä olleen seksuaalisia motiiveja. Hän oli työtön.
  • Colin Ireland is een Engelse seriemoordenaar die veroordeeld werd tot vijfmaal levenslang voor de moorden op vijf mannen. Hij is ook bekend onder de bijnaam Gay Slayer.
