A serial killer called ‘The Pusher’ is shoving gay men into canals, author claims
Thomas Sheridan, who specialises in psychopaths, attributes around 60 deaths since 2004 to the homophobic killer.
Mr Sheridan, 51, from Northern Ireland, visited the area to investigate claims.
He said: ‘Walking along the Rochdale Canal, I was followed by a tall man wearing a hood into a poorly-lit area.
‘The sense of isolation and vulnerability at the location were quite frankly terrifying.
‘I’m convinced foul play is a point concerning some of the bodies.
‘I concur with the people of Manchester that ‘The Pusher’ is almost certainly the cause of some of these deaths.’
He continued: ‘I believe the killer is targeting gay men or men the killer is assuming to be gay – following them from a night out or more worryingly, picking them up in bars.
‘We may be dealing with a psychopath or extremely disturbed individual. The police need to take this very seriously.’
Greater Manchester Police has always maintained there is no serial killer and attribute the deaths to suicides and accidents.
