The miniature kitchen includes a headless body in a bin bag

This dolls house is definitely not for children.

An artist put together the painstaking replica of serial killer Dennis Nilsen’s lair – complete with human remains clogging the drains.

There is a bin bag containing a torso, a bloody knife, a severed head in a cooking pot and even the maniac’s pet dog Bleep.

The £150 model is based on the kitchen of the North London flat where Nilsen murdered at least 12 young men before his 1983 arrest.

A shopper who stumbled upon the web advert said: “Victims’ families will be horrified.”

Nilsen died of cancer aged 72 in Wakefield prison in 2018.

For six years he groomed vulnerable young men in pubs before luring them to his flat where he strangled them, sometimes committing sex acts with the bodies.

Nilsen dismembered the corpses, getting rid of them by burning them or flushing parts down the toilet.

The job centre clerk was rumbled when body parts clogged the pipes. He was jailed for life in 1983.

Nilsen was played by David Tennant in a 2020 ITV drama.
