#235 - Patrick MacKay: Two Sides of a Psychopath - Part B (Mary Brigid Hynds)

This is Part B of F of Patrick MacKay: Two Sides of a Psychopath, about the killing of Mary Hynds.

On Friday the 20th of July 1973, a kind and frail 75-year-old spinster called Mary Hynds was last seen entering her ground floor lodging at 4 Willes Road in Kentish Town, London. The next morning her body was discovered; she had been strangled and beaten violently about the head in a killing which has similarities to the murders of Adele Price, Isabella Griffiths and Father Anthony Crean. Police linked it to serial killer Patrick MacKay, and he confessed to the crime. But was he guilty?

This series explores the killings he confessed to, and which he committed.

Location: Ground floor/rear, 4 Willes Road, Kentish Town, London, UK, NW5
Date: Friday the 20th of July 1973, time of killing unknown
Victims: Mary Brigid Hynds
Culprit: Patrick David MacKay?
