As a child, Mackay suffered a great deal at the hands of his violent, alcoholic father. In his youth, he indulged in animal cruelty and arson, bullied younger children and even attempted to kill his mother and aunt. He spent his teenage years in and out of mental homes and institutions, and at 15, he was diagnosed as a psychopath by a psychiatrist. As he entered adulthood, Mackay developed a fascination with Nazism, calling himself "Franklin Bollvolt The First" and filling his flat with Nazi memorabilia.
On March 21, 1975, then aged 22, Mackay used an axe to kill a priest in Shorne, Kent, who had befriended him, hacking through the victim's skull and watching him bleed to death. He was swiftly arrested and was soon considered by police to be a suspect in at least a dozen other killings over the past two years, most victims being elderly women who had been stabbed or strangled during robberies. Mackay bragged that he had murdered 11 people.
Patrick Mackay was charged with five murders, but two charges were dropped through lack of evidence. In November 1975 he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. He is now in his 32nd year of imprisonment.
