Fred and Rosemary West’s youngest son has been found dead from a suspected overdose.

Barry West, 40, had long battled drug addiction, nightmares and psychiatric problems, according to reports.

Barry was just seven years old when he saw his parents beat his sister Heather to death at their home in Gloucester.

But Barry was particularly affected by his parents’ crime history, people close to the family said.

A family source said: “He never found peace, never escaped the ghosts of Cromwell Street.
