Thriller - Part 8: When Monsters Meet

In the penultimate episode of this series' Thriller arc, we now have David John Mulcahy stood in the dock, accused of countless horrendous crimes. The evidence against him was strong - yet nothing stronger than the words of his former best friend, John Francis Duffy, who stood just feet away from him - but this time, in the witness box, giving evidence.

This then, is Taller and Shorter - but would testimony be enough? And was their unspeakable bond now really broken? How was such a bond - strong enough to rape and murder, and then remain silent for almost a decade - how was that even created?

Let's see how Taller and Shorter came to be such a duo.

The episode contains graphic details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving crimes of a sexual nature and depictions of violence, and also including depictions of extreme animal cruelty that some listeners may find disturbing and/or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
