There will also be live psychological games to play as the audience finds out if they have the mind of a serial killer.

Cheish said: “Our talks have become so popular and the one question that is asked more than others is: ‘Are serial killers born or made?’ This nature vs nurture debate is one we hope to finally find an answer to on this evening.”

She added: “Nobody is born evil. We will look at the childhoods, adolescence years and shocking crimes of the following serial killers to determine exactly what went wrong along the way. Revealing the shocking truth of what really took place behind closed doors.”
