Sick Valentine's Day cards featuring serial killers Fred and Rose West are being sold online.
The cards are intended to celebrate an important day for couples and a huge day in lovers' calendars. One of the sick cards reads: "If I love you, I will bury your victims." A pink card has an image of mass murderer, Fred West on the front. It has been edited, so he appears to be cuddling a cat and is surrounded by cartoon love hearts.
The card is being sold by an Etsy seller and costs just £3, but it is currently on sale for £2.25 in the lead-up to Valentine's Day. Another person is selling a twisted Rose West Valentine's card. It is being sold by Etsy user, SwearyMary, for £4.50 and features a jarring image of the killer in her infamous large glasses.

Another shocking design by the seller features the same image twelve times. It reads: "Nothing says I love you like a dozen red roses."
It isn't the only grim greeting card sold by the Etsy user who is also selling an offensive card featuring serial killer Ted Bundy for £4. On the front, Bundy is surrounded by multiple clip-art hearts. It read: "I think you're 'bunderful!" Inside the card, it reads: "...And I love your killer smile."

The Mirror reported in June 2022 how Father's Day cards featuring Fred West next to a supposedly humorous tagline were being sold online. The greetings cards, which had a digital drawing of the deceased murderer's mugshot, came with the message: "Happy Father's Day. You're not the worst dad in the world."

Another features a drawing of Gary Glitter grooming a dog next to the message "thanks for grooming me". The cards were described as being "perfect" for "anyone with a sense of humour". Fred West and his wife Rose were caught in 1992 when Fred was arrested for raping his 13-year-old daughter. In 1994, West was charged with murdering 12 girls, including his and Rose’s own daughter Heather.
The monstrous couple strangled and mutilated their 16-year-old at their “House Of Horrors” in Gloucester. West took his own life in 1995 before he could be jailed for his crimes. Rose was jailed for life in 1995 for the murders of 10 girls and women.
