Sick Father's Day cards with a sketch of serial killer Fred West being sold online

Father's Day cards featuring serial killer and rapist Fred West next to a supposedly humorous tagline are being sold online.

The greetings cards, which boast a digital drawing of the deceased murderer's mugshot, come with the message: "Happy Father's Day. You're not the worst dad in the world."

The £2.99 cards are designed by illustrator Samuel Hague, reports Daily Star.

His other Father's Day offerings include a Jimmy Saville card with the message "thanks for never letting Jim fix it for me".

Another features a drawing of Gary Glitter grooming a dog next to the message "thanks for grooming me"

On his site, Hague advertises the cards as "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.

Daily Star approached the card designer for comment.

Last Christmas, it revealed that sickos were selling festive baubles online bearing the faces of Britain’s most evil criminals.

Fred and Rose West featured, along with “Doctor Death” Harold Shipman.

Baubles showing Moors murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley can also be hung on the Christmas tree to “disgust in-laws”.

Monster predator Savile, who sexually abused hundreds of victims – from young children to pensioners – over several decades, is pictured on another festive bauble with the words: “Jingle jangle."

Another disgusting bauble makes fun of ex-model and reality star Katie Price ’s disabled son Harvey, 19.

Online ghouls have been selling the twisted decorations via the online marketplace Etsy and a website that calls itself Simply Awful Gifts for £7 each.

A description reads: “Adorn your tree and be dazzled by these beauties.”

The website adds: “Upset your guests and disgust your in-laws. Give as the gift that keeps on giving, year after year!”
