📖 Description
Between 1982 and 1986, a four-year reign of terror had women in London travelling in fear if they were forced to use the city’s suburban railway network alone, especially at night. The local news contained numerous reports of women being attacked and raped close to railway and tube stations.
However, what was actually happening was an incredibly rare phenomenon, two psychopaths working together as a team. First as rapists and then as killers, John Duffy and David Mulcahy raped up to seventy-five women and then went on to kill three more.
Their attacks initiated an unprecedented police inquiry not seen since the days of the Yorkshire Ripper.
Then, when Duffy was finally arrested, such was the strength of the bond between the two men that Mulcahy was able to escape justice for another fifteen years.
This 6,000-word review gives an insight into John Duffy and David Mulcahy’s lives and crimes, both as a study in its own right and as a stepping-stone to further research into the true crime genre.
The main aspects covered are:
• Introduction • Early Life and Marriage • The Rapes • Murder – Alison Day • Murder - Maartje Tamboezer • Murder – Anne Lock • The Investigation • Duffy’s Trial • Mulcahy’s Trial • The Aftermath
