Description

Pop art comes in many forms. I consider this one of them. You'll find here a mugshot of Serial Killer Graham Young. Obsessed with poisons from an early age, Young began poisoning relatives and school friends by lacing their food and drinks with thallium and antimony, culminating in the death of his stepmother. In 1962 he was incarcerated in Broadmoor Hospital at the age of 14. He was released in 1971 and took a menial job in a factory in Bovingdon, where he used his role of tea boy to poison his colleagues, resulting in two more fatalities. In 1972, Young was convicted of two murders and sentenced to life imprisonment. He died at HM Prison Parkhurst in 1990.

The Young case made headlines in Britain and led to a public debate over the release of mentally ill offenders. Within hours of his conviction, the British Government announced two inquiries into the issues it raised. The outcry over the ease with which Young was able to obtain deadly poisons led to the passage of the 1972 Poisons Act. Young's life story inspired the 1995 film The Young Poisoner's Handbook.
