  • 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.

    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?
