Patrick Mackay, 67, has been behind bars for 45 years since his manslaughter convictions at the Old Bailey in 1975 for strangling two elderly women and butchering a priest with an axe. The Parole Board were due to decide whether Mackay was safe to be let out after his move to an open prison. But the Nazi-loving psychopath had originally confessed to eight more victims during a killing spree in London, Kent and Essex in 1974-75. Now Gareth Johnson, Tory MP for Mackay’s home town of Dartford, Kent, has persuaded Essex police to investigate the cases. Two of the other eight killings were left on file and Mackay retracted his confession to six.
