A young man that
displayed violent and psychopathic tendencies from the age
of 15 after the early death of his father at age 42.
Mackay had suffered with the rest of his family at the
hands of his drunken and very violent father, and was to
carry his father's legacy into his own adult life. He
developed a reputation for being a bully at school, and
begun to like torturing animals, including his own
tortoise. A local woman reported having seen him pin birds
to the road, and then stand watching, as cars ran over
them. She also reports that he set a fire to an allotment
shed, then called the fire brigade, and watched when they
arrived.
He was in and out of approved schools and mental
institutions, and in 1969 was declared a "potential
psychopathic killer" by a home office psychiatrist. Mackay
adopted a new name Franklin Bollvolt the first. He was
fascinated by Hitler and surrounded himself in fascism,
fascist books and memorabilia, he even crafted his own
fascist uniform.
14th February 1974
he broke into the house of an old lady and stabbed her to
death, the following year he again broke into a house this
time strangling his 85 year old widow victim. On 21st
March 1975 he attacked and stabbed an elderly priest that
had befriended him, finishing him off by slashing his head
with an axe. When investigating the murder of the priest,
the police discovered his association with Mackay. When
arrested Mackay was charged with 5 murders,
although once in court only three of the murders were
pursued, he was also questioned about a further 7
murders.
At the old Bailey in
November 1975 23 year old Patrick Mackay confessed to
three murders and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
