I played chess with Graham Young virtually every day. He beat me in some individual games, but never in a series. He chose the black pieces, likening their power to the Nazi SS. He was psychotic rather than Phychopathic. We used to laugh until the tears rolled down our cheeks. Graham dropped dead in his cell one morning. I suspected that he had given himself an undetectable poison. Nothing was found at the post mortem.

Graham’s mental state shocked his sister when he visited her that evening. She later described it as both ‘heart-rending and traumatic, recalling that she mistakenly thought he had been drinking when he arrived, due to seeming “a bit wobbly”.’ He sat down and tried to make conversation for quarter of an hour, then stood up abruptly and mumbled that he was leaving. Winifred asked him what was wrong and implored him to sit down and talk over a cup of tea.

To her alarm, Graham burst into tears, crying noisily, and was unable to speak. She did her best to comfort him, but it took a long time before he managed to blurt out something that came as ‘an immense revelation’ to her: ‘He said he was lonely and could not “get close to people”. I attempted to break his depression by suggesting a number of conventional things that might help – such as joining a night school. He shook his head. “No,” he said, and I shall never forget his words. “Nothing like that can help. You see, there’s a terrible coldness inside me.”’

A Passion for Poison, p.377:

“As we went along I learnt that the different kinds of colour of dress are important in Graham’s life: black is aggressive, brown is aggressive, blue is tranquil, green is flamboyant. He came to tell me how he came to look at death as an ideal state. Death is neat and orderly, sterile. He said of his victims that he thought of them being better off when they were dead. He himself felt that he had more in common with death than with life and he saw himself as an agent of mortality, an agent of death”.

The Sun had a front-page scoop: ‘Accused! The First Picture of the Man in Poison Trial’. Taken in a photo booth, the image showed Graham with his head slightly bowed, eyes raised to the camera in a psychopathic glare. Although it came to personify the murderous turmoil of a man who had spent his life in thrall to poisons, Nazism and other British serial killers, in reality Graham’s ferocious expression was the result of being short-changed by the photo booth. Aware that it was just the sort of thing the tabloids would relish to illustrate their accounts of the trial, Graham asked Chief Superintendent Harvey to release the image to the media. There was an embargo on its publication, but The Sun released it on Tuesday, 27 June, ahead of Graham’s cross-examination by Mr John Leonard QC.
