Trailer - Patrick Mackay - Two Sides Of A Psychopath

One of Britain’s most infamous serial killers is a man you may never have heard of, he's spent more than fifty years behind bars, he may never be released, and holds the distinction of being Britain’s longest serving continual prisoner – but who is Patrick Mackay?

In a ten part crossover series, Mike of Murder Mile and Paul from The True Crime Enthusiast join forces to bring you the full story; from Mackay’s disturbed childhood, his crime spree, his methods and his motives, as well as the three murders he was convicted of and the eight additional killings he was suspected of, and confessed to.

In a killing spree which shook an entire nation, Patrick MacKay - nicknamed ‘The Devil’s Disciple’ - was described by some as a ‘good boy’, yet was diagnosed by psychiatrists as a ‘cold-blooded psychopath’, said to be “one of Britain’s most dangerous men” alongside killers like Peter Sutcliffe and Dennis Nilsen.

But what are the two sides to the psychopath that is Patrick Mackay?

Having previously covered in-depth multi-part series such as; paedophile Sydney Cooke, serial killer Robert Black, Robert Napper ‘The Green Chain Rapist’, The Blackout Ripper, necrophile John Reginald Christie and cannibal Peter Bryan, Murder Mile and True Crime Enthusiast bring you ‘Patrick Mackay: Two Sides Of A Psychopath beginning on Thursday 13th of November. Listen to both series at the same time with Parts 1 to 4 on The True Crime Enthusiast and Parts A to F on Murder Mile. With many details told for the very first time, Patrick Mackay: Two Sides Of A Psychopath begins on Thursday 13th of November.
