Fred and Rose West's children are embroiled in a bitter family rift as each of them struggles with the legacy of having grown up with the depraved couple as their parents, MailOnline can reveal.

The twisted couple - arguably the most notorious serial killers in British history - counted two of their own children among their many murder victims, while a third later took his own life.

But the seven children who survived being raised at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester's 'House of Horrors', were left with incalculable mental anguish after suffering abhorrent sexual abuse, repeated physical beatings and vicious mental torture.


Now MailOnline has learned that the seven now find it so triggering to see each other that practically all contact has ceased between the survivors despite three of them living just minutes from each others' homes.

Stephen West, 42, Fred and Rose's eldest biological son said: 'We [the West siblings] don't have anything to do with each other.

'I don't speak to my siblings and there are no large happy family get-togethers.

'Too much has gone on. It's probably too painful for us.'

Stephen's older sister Anne-Marie Davis, 60, the eldest surviving of the children has not spoken publicly about her upbringing for some years
