  • Alison, Maartje and Anne | Part 2: Monsters Since Childhood

    Alison, Maartje and Anne | Part 2: Monsters Since Childhood
    Mar 28 2024
    When multiple women and children were raped in and around London's railway network during the early 1980s, detectives initially believed one man was responsible. They didn't realise that two men had committed the horrific acts and that their sadistic tendencies would soon turn to murder. In this two-part series, I discuss what became the nation’s biggest manhunt since the Peter Sutcliffe inquiry. This second and final part focuses on the perpetrators, John Duffy and David Mulcahy, who, since childhood, had been on a monstrous path of criminality. **Please listen to Part 1 before listening to Part 2** Join my Patreon community at patreon.com/britishmurders for exclusive perks, including early access to ad-free episodes, bonus content, exciting giveaways, and welcome goodies!
