Summary

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.
