TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains graphic discussions of murder, cannibalism, and disturbing psychological themes. Some listeners may find the content confronting or distressing. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

In this chilling episode of Secrets of the Underworld, host Neil Cummins sits down with French cannibal and convicted killer Nicolas Claux — a man whose crimes shocked Europe and whose mind remains as disturbing as his actions.

Born in Cameroon and raised across Europe, Claux describes a childhood marked by isolation, obsession and a growing fascination with blood, death, and anatomy. From stealing weapons in the army to working inside a Paris morgue, where his darkest fantasies escalated into real-world acts, this is a conversation that goes far beyond headlines.
