When he awoke, Nilsen beat the driver and locked him in the boot of the taxi. In Brian Masters biography of Nilsen " Killing for Company: The Case of Dennis Nilsen", Nilsen recalled a time when he was once kidnapped by an Arab taxi driver who beat him unconscious.

In 1967, he was deployed to the State of Aden (formerly Aden Colony), where he worked as a cook at the Al Mansoura Prison. He passed and began his career as a cook for the British Army in Norway. It was in mid-1964 when Nilsen passed his first catering exam and was officially assigned to the 1st Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers in Osnabrück, West Germany, where he served as a private.Īfter two years, he returned to Aldershot in Hampshire, England, to sit his official catering exam.
