Summary

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.
