„Bruce LEE“ was born Peter George DINSDALE in 1960. At birth he had epilepsy, partial paralysis, and a deformed arm. Until he was 3 he lived with his grandmother, then moving on to live with his mother and her husband until their relationship ended. Up until he was sixteen he attended a school for the phyisically handicapped, and was introduced to homosexual practices. At nineteen, he changed his name to show how much he idolized his favorite kung-fu star.
Lee was also a pyromaniac, claiming that the tingling in his fingers signalled him that it was time to light a fire. One of his first fires caused $30,000.00 of damage to a shopping center. He killed his first person in 1973. On January 5, 1977, eleven men were killed and six people injured when he set a local rest home on fire. An old man slapped him for disturbing some pigeons, and Lee threatened to kill him. Later, the birds were all found with their necks wrung, and the man burned to death in his armchair. It was ruled an accident until years later when Lee admitted to it.
In 1980, a fire on Selby Street, in Hull, killed a woman and her three sons About 18,000 people were questioned during the investigation for the fire, until one of the victims was discovered to have been acquainted with various homosexuals who frequented the public restrooms near his home. Lee, who had confessed to a bunch of fires over the past 20 years was one of these homosexuals. In all, 26 people died in Lee’s fires, and he was charged with multiple counts of manslaughter. He plead guilty on all counts, and was sentenced to an indefinite term in a mental hospital. Lee stated „I am devoted to fire…Fire is my master, and that is why I cause these fires.“
