Crazed cabbie Derrick Bird's house up for sale

3/10/2010

Cumbria killer Derrick Bird's house will be sold quickly at a knock-down price - so that his family and the community can move on.

The home is being auctioned for just £35,000 - half the cost of others on the same street.

And the buyer will get all the mass murderer's possessions in the house for free - including his snorkel and flippers.

But the property is covered in grime throughout.

Bird's large black television remains in the front room, close to a ramshackle old gas fire. The main bedroom has newspaper cuttings on one wall - one of a semi-naked man in a thong and black leather jacket.

There is also a secret third floor hidden behind a cupboard door.

Outside the mid terrace, the garden is overgrown and appears to have been abandoned.

Colin West, of Cumbria Auction House, said: "Completion will be quick. That will help the family and community move on."

Loner Bird, 52, shot himself dead after murdering 12 people - including twin brother David - in Cumbria in June. He died without making a will and left £105,000 to his two sons.

Some property developer will snap that up and let it out.

He didn't kill himself in that house so I can't see there being a problem with people wanting to live there.

There was an old lady round here who was murdered in her own house by her neighbour who had a screw lose, the house was run down and in a right mess when she was found dead by the Police.

12 months later the house has deen re developed and let out to a family. They've got to know what happend in the house because it's a close knit community where houses back onto each other.

Neighbours are going to be tripping over themselves to tell the new people in the house what happend if they don't already know.

Bit of a bargain that....nice views across the fells.
