    My final offering of Psychopath: The Two Sides Of Patrick Mackay comes this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where I bring my side of the tale full circle, and account Mackay's 1975 trial for the murders he confessed to - those that he DIDN'T retract, of course; the years following his incarceration, and pose the following question:Could the UK's longest continually serving prisoner, now in his 51st year inside, one day be released?The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of animal cruelty, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

    Patrick Mackay: The Two Sides Of A Psychopath - Part 3
    Nov 27 2025

    In the penultimate episode of my contribution to the ten part crossover series that myself and my friend Mike of the Murder Mile Podcast have joined forces to bring you, the two sides to the psychopath that is Patrick Mackay, this time around I’ll bring you a detailed account of the disturbed life of Patrick Mackay, that led to him facing by April 1975, three charges of murder.


    If you head over and listen to Mike at Murder Mile simultaneously – you’ll see also:


    Was that just the tip of the iceberg?


    The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of animal cruelty, and the use of a racial slur, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

  • Patrick Mackay: The Two Sides Of A Psychopath - Part 2

    Patrick Mackay: The Two Sides Of A Psychopath - Part 2
    Nov 20 2025

    Continuing the ten part crossover series that myself and my friend Mike of the Murder Mile Podcast have joined forces to bring you, the two sides to the psychopath that is Patrick Mackay, last time on the Enthusiast we left Mackay having confessed in full detail to the murder of Kent Catholic priest Father Anthony Crean.

    It was a murder that truly was the stuff of nightmares, but once Mackay started talking, he couldn’t stop – and was about to open up to detectives about a terrifying crime spree that he was responsible for.


    That had left two elderly ladies dead, and countless more traumatised to their dying days.


    The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving crimes against the elderly, and with disturbing descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.
