00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:04.440
In the mid nineteen eighties, a series of brutal rapes
2
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:06.679
spread fear throughout North London.
3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.439
In some of these crimes there was one man, and
4
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.919
in some of them there was one man and his accomplice.
5
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:16.519
They are hunting down these women, looking for prey.
6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.960
As the violence intensified, you get this tie of the hands,
7
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:26.280
subjecting the victim to terror. Serial sadists would turn to murder.
8
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.399
They can feel the person dying. They are in total
9
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.280
control of the individual's life.
10
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.119
What drove this twisted team There was an evil energy
11
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.159
or wickedness that was clearly within both of them, and
12
00:00:40.280 --> 00:01:15.959
were they born to kill. Hackney Wick is an urban
13
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.920
area to the east of London. Formerly a hub of industry,
14
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:25.000
the borough recently experienced a period of rejuvenation, creating an
15
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.920
eclectic neighborhood around its warehouses and network of canals.
16
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.519
Where we are now, it's on the towpath of the
17
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:38.280
Lee Navigation Canal. Back in the eighties the area was
18
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.959
completely undeveloped, nothing like it is at the moment. It
19
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.040
was just all open scrub lane.
20
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.959
During the Christmas holidays of nineteen eighty five, one local
21
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.519
girl was due to arrive at the nearby train station.
22
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.560
Alison Day was a young lady. She lived with a parents.
23
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.079
She was going to have a pleasant, even a social
24
00:01:58.120 --> 00:01:59.239
evening up with a boyfriend.
25
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.680
It was usually a very busy area, but it being
26
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.920
a holiday season, there were very few people about. It
27
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.159
was quite isolated.
28
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.960
Her boyfriend expected her at a particular time. When she
29
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:20.280
didn't arrive, he then contacted his mother and the pair
30
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.879
of them searched the area for her. But where was
31
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:26.719
he to look, you know, he didn't know whether she
32
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:31.439
had arrived in this particular location or hadn't got this far,
33
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.080
so it was very much hit and miss as to
34
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.080
where they were looking. There was no sign of anything.
35
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.560
The boyfriend reported her missing to the police and it
36
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.199
was dealt with at that stage as a missing person inquiry.
37
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.960
Allison was last seen on December the twenty ninth. She
38
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.639
left home to travel to Hackney to meet her boyfriend
39
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.360
who was working late at a Canal Bank printing works.
40
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.280
Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen her
41
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.000
on that journey and.
42
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.360
Major investigation was launched the canal There is what were searched?
43
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.039
Where do you start looking? You know who your suspects,
44
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:11.719
what's the motive behind it?
45
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:18.479
After seventeen days of intensive searching, Alison Day's body was found.
46
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.919
As the corpse was revealed, officers were filled with a
47
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:23.759
sense of dread.
48
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.439
It was down there that the body was put into
49
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:33.400
the canal. Her coat was weighted down with two lumps
50
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.120
of concrete blocks.
51
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.280
The mode of murder immediately became apparent.
52
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.560
From the minute that body was taken out through water.
53
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:48.599
It was obvious to all concerned that she had this
54
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.719
ligature around her neck with the piece of wood still
55
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:52.400
attached to it.
56
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.759
Alison had been strangled with an item of her own clothing.
57
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.840
Material from her blouse had been placed around her neck
58
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.439
in a loop, this piece of wood then being inserted
59
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.680
in it, and gradual pressure had been applied by twisting
60
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:12.439
the wood.
61
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.319
To have your own clothing put her own your neck.
62
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.120
This must have been terrifying.
63
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.480
The statistic tool resembled a traditional ligature known as a
64
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:24.560
Spanish windlass.
65
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.480
I knew people on that Tibo detectives. None of them
66
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:33.879
could ever recall seeing this method used in any murder. Ever, before.
67
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.079
Further twisted details would also come to light.
68
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.079
A gag had also been placed in her mouth from
69
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.639
items of her blouse that had also been cut the
70
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.480
same materials used to bind her hands.
71
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.199
The heenous crime bore no witnesses, but the proximity to
72
00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.439
Hackneywick Station allowed investigators to deduce the probable scenario for
73
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:01.360
the callous crime.
74
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.000
The station is just twenty five thirty yards off to
75
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:11.439
our right. There. She was then taken across the railway track,
76
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.759
brought down onto the tow path here and from here
77
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:21.360
she was initially raped and then ultimately we can once say,
78
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:22.360
tortured to death.
79
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.160
Despite their initial theories, police had little to go on.
80
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.800
The fact that the body had been immersed in water
81
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.879
for a period of time. Forensic evidence would have probably
82
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:41.040
been greatly diminished. As it was, we were talking about
83
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.639
the nineteen ages, so DNA hadn't been perfected at that stage.
84
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.879
There was a lot of press coverage of the murder
85
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.519
of Alison Day because it was a great tragedy, and
86
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.120
also with that kind of offense there's always the worry
87
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.240
that it may be part of or the beginning of
88
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:01.639
serial offenses.
89
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.920
As investigators attempted to piece together the horrific crime, they
90
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.120
were unaware that the railway had become a hunting ground
91
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:25.480
for murder. During December nineteen eighty five, nineteen year old
92
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.879
Allison Day was abducted from a train station in Hackney.
93
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.240
The secretary was brutally raped and strangled before being dumped
94
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.040
in a nearby canal. But this was not the first
95
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.439
time the railway had been associated with depraved sexual crimes.
96
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.360
Less than ten miles away, the affluent suburbs of north
97
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.879
west London had been suffering a prolonged campaign of terror
98
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:57.160
since the early eighties.
99
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.279
Thirty officers, including eighteen women, have been formed into.
100
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:03.240
A special rape squad.
101
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.120
The telephones rang almost continuously, but many callers hung up
102
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.639
three or four times before they could pick up enough
103
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.839
courage to talk about their experiences.
104
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.399
There were a whole sequence of rapes of we'rein, mostly
105
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.160
late at night in the northwest part of London.
106
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:32.160
Some were perpetrated on heathlands scrubland, others near railway stations.
107
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.199
The sheer volume was astonishing, with over thirty rapes and
108
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:38.600
attacks being reported.
109
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.319
What was unusual about them was in some of these
110
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.240
crimes there was one man, and in some of them
111
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.399
there was one man and his accomplice, And because of that,
112
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.839
the police became convinced that all these rape offenses were
113
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.120
being committed by the same one and or two men.
114
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.759
As the attacks intensified, victims would increasingly report the use
115
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.199
of an knife.
116
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:07.639
If you look at the rights, the degree of brutality
117
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:12.079
escalates and it becomes more and more.
118
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.519
Any kind of extreme offender or rapist evolve. They experiment
119
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:22.079
with things, They'll try different weapons, and especially if they
120
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.800
haven't succeeded with one type, they'll move on to another
121
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.839
one that they think will be more lethal or more frightening,
122
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.759
and often with a knife. I mean, you have to
123
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:37.159
wonder if that isn't some kind of substitute for not
124
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:38.320
feeling very manly.
125
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.519
Most offenders carry a weapon with them, even if they
126
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:46.120
don't use it for intimidation purposes. These are individuals that
127
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.120
feel very weak internally, and so a weapon, a gun
128
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.200
or a knife or something makes them feel strong.
129
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.759
The majority of the brutal attacks had taken place in
130
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.759
the neighborhood of two life long friends, John Duffy and
131
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:09.559
David Malcay. Born on the twenty ninth of November nineteen
132
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.080
fifty eight, Duffy had been raised in the London district
133
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:13.679
of Kilbourn.
134
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.600
He'd been born into a two parent family. He had
135
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:22.879
had a happy childhood. He'd always felt loved and cared for.
136
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:27.960
He had no particular serious illnesses in childhood, no periods
137
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:28.440
in care.
138
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.960
However, school life at Havistock Secondary wasn't so smooth for
139
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:37.120
the introverted loner.
140
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.639
Been eleven year old in a big, big school like that,
141
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:45.759
you sort of staying in the program, and watched Duffy
142
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:50.639
stuck out. He wore this Parker coats even in warm weather,
143
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:55.559
and I found that absolutely bizarre. This character was weird,
144
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:59.120
to say the very least. He did get bullied and
145
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:03.600
pushed around and picked on. You wouldn't say social misfit.
146
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.480
I just didn't think he fitted in with the crowd.
147
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.440
David Mulkay was the only one to stand up for
148
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:10.559
the awkward pupil.
149
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:17.440
Duffy is quite a small character, whereas Malchie is quite
150
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:23.559
big and stocky. I get the impression from school Malchie
151
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:26.559
sort of set herself up the Duffy's mind. You know,
152
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:28.960
anyone picks on my little pal, I'm going to sort
153
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.759
you out sort of thing, you know. And this sort
154
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.399
of bond grew between them.
155
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.480
The newfound friends shared many interests, one of which was
156
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:42.159
a dysfunctional approach to playground games.
157
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:52.720
They had played a game similar to kiss Chase, but
158
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:57.639
it has involved chasing girls and then catching them and
159
00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:58.960
touching them up.
160
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.240
As they get comfortable with each other and familiar with
161
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.320
each other, they can begin to sort through their fantasies,
162
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:10.080
usually sexual fantasies, and if those match in any way.
163
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:14.360
Now they'll start acting on things together. They'll start creating plans.
164
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.679
They'll start saying, why don't we try this and try that?
165
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:22.799
Inspired by Bruce Lee films, the teenage Duffy and mal
166
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:27.200
Kaye would share a passion for martial arts. Their world
167
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.279
of combat would also stretch into the realms of fantasy.
168
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.440
They would role play. They they would dress up the
169
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.440
soldiers that they would go out a lot Hampstead Heath
170
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.919
late at night, jumping out on the couples that were
171
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.360
walking along from the gay couples that frequented the area.
172
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.320
It was Tom Foolery at a late age in the
173
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:49.519
teenage Lives.
174
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:57.080
Ten years later, during the spring of nineteen eighty six,
175
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.480
police in nearby Hackney would brittlely searching for the killer
176
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:10.799
of nineteen year old Secretary Allison Day. Over thirty miles away,
177
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.799
the peaceful Surrey commuter village of East Hawsley was seemingly
178
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:21.279
far removed from such brutal acts. One child enjoying an
179
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:26.039
upbringing in this idyllic setting was Dutch schoolgirl Marty Tambosa.
180
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:31.440
Marty Tambosa was a very very pleasant fifteen year old
181
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.720
schoolgirl lived with her appearance in rented accommodation.
182
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.399
Her father worked in a petrochemical industry. Though you were
183
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.279
temporary resident in Surrey area.
184
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.200
As the school term drew to a close, the seventeenth
185
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.320
of April was a particularly exciting day for Marty.
186
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.159
She was due to go back to Holland on a
187
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.759
holiday with friends of hers. She had been to school
188
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:02.919
as usual and finish school about three o'clock. Marty mentioned
189
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.039
that as she was going out to Holland, she would
190
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.840
like to get some suits to take with her.
191
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.120
Mum agreed and it was as all good parents. She
192
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:13.960
told her that when she went, she was to cycle
193
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.960
the long way around to the village. She wasn't to
194
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.480
go down the line path, which is the little path
195
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:24.279
that runs along the railway line. I guess like all
196
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.480
good kids, Marty said, I want, and like all kids,
197
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.759
she chose to go the short way.
198
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:34.080
Disturbingly, the fifteen year old did not return from her
199
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.320
trip to the village shop.
200
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:41.000
Obviously, her mother was concerned. The alarm was raised. She
201
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.279
was reported as missing to Guildford Police station.
202
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:49.679
As concerns grew, an extensive police search was launched, but
203
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.279
Marty was nowhere to be found.
204
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.399
Two police officers, both dog hauntlers, were over in the
205
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.480
wooded area with the dogs and they came across a
206
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.440
couple of guys as they asked whether they had seen
207
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.480
anything untoward, and all they said is, well, over in
208
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.919
the wood there we saw what we think is a
209
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.360
green fertilizer bag.
210
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.480
But tragically all wasn't as it seemed.
211
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.080
The police officers went to this location and in fact
212
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:27.519
the green fertilizer bag transpired to be the body of
213
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:33.879
Marty Tombosa. She was found laying on her back with
214
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:38.559
her arm and legs at various angles, jeans pulled down
215
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:40.799
exposing the groin area.
216
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:45.519
As well as being brutally raped, the Dutch school girl
217
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:50.279
had also been strangled. The sadistic technique matched that suffered
218
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.080
by Hackney victim Allison Day.
219
00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:56.440
Her belt has been used as a ligature. Half of
220
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.279
it was still around the neck that laying loose and
221
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.360
prop to her body was a length of stick that
222
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.039
had come from this wood, which had been used to
223
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.399
tighten deligature around the neck.
224
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.840
Strangulation is the number one method that serial sexual murderers
225
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.440
use to kill their victims because it's up close and personal.
226
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.080
They can feel the person dying, and they want the
227
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.360
victim to know that, in fact, they are in total
228
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.799
control of the individual's life and death.
229
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:32.559
Further examination of Marty's body would reveal another sordid element
230
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:33.879
to the sexual attack.
231
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.919
One of the things they noticed straight away was that
232
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.600
there'd been an attempt to burn her body. A closer
233
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.639
examination by the police showed that tissues had been placed
234
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.039
around her private parts and set fire.
235
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:53.360
The body was also covered with tweaks, and I suspect
236
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.240
not with a view to hide the body, who hope
237
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.759
that these tweaks would have caught fire purely to stroy evidence.
238
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.320
The form of restraint inflicted on the schoolgirl would further
239
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:07.799
horrify investigators.
240
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:15.759
Marty had been tied up, subjecting her to fear and terror,
241
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:18.360
mental torture. Really.
242
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.840
The sadistic binding did, however, offer up a clue. A
243
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:28.200
distinctive paper based string known as som jan had been used.
244
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.120
The team did a lot of good work trying to
245
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:35.039
identify whether this had been produced natural fact that it
246
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.559
was from a small producer. There wasn't a great deal
247
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.320
of it sold in this country. It was relatively unusual
248
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:42.320
to find.
249
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:47.000
As police attempted to unravel the murder, they discovered that
250
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:50.879
the initial attack by the railway had been meticulously planned.
251
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:57.759
This is the area selected to abduct Marty town Bosa.
252
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.879
Fishing mine was strung across the path, which meant that
253
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.720
she would have to stop, get off a bike and
254
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.920
tried to negotiate the fishing line.
255
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.839
A piece of fishing line was tired across here at
256
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.920
about three foot high.
257
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.480
Marty had spotted this piece of fishing line that would
258
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.920
probably have knocked her from a bike, but she'd managed
259
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.279
to apply the brakes and stop in front of it.
260
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.880
The bike was thrown into the wood here and she
261
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.759
was taken across this field here over to Lolsworth Wood.
262
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:40.279
As investigators continued to work the case, a connection was
263
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:44.960
made with the twisted strangulation of Alison Day. Police now
264
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:51.960
believed they were searching for a single killer. A leading
265
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.720
psychological profiler was brought in to paint a picture of
266
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:56.599
the perpetrator.
267
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:00.519
He told the police that the man they were looking
268
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:05.480
for would be a white male age between twenty and
269
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.799
forty five, and that he would probably be married, but
270
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:10.519
with a very unhappy home life.
271
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.480
As detectives attempted to piece together the brazen trackside attacks,
272
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:18.519
they were unaware of a twenty seven year old man
273
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.400
with an extensive knowledge of the rail network.
274
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.960
Duffy was employed as a carpenter by the Railways. He
275
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:29.720
had access and free transport to train services all over London,
276
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.880
and part of his job enabled him to travel widely
277
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:33.599
on the network.
278
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.359
Although he had been dismissed from his post, John Duffy
279
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.680
had continued to travel. He was often accompanied by his
280
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:46.759
best friend, David mulcay.
281
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.839
Wel Kaye grew up in the Kilburn Stroke Hampstead era
282
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:55.599
parents Republicans.
283
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.160
David was the tom fool. He was a kinder kid
284
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.160
that somebody said, you know, Daved, go and stand in
285
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.359
front of that train when it's coming along. He'd wait
286
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:06.640
there and dive out at the last minute, anything to
287
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:09.240
ingratiate himself into other people's company.
288
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.920
Malchaye's adult life had followed a similarly haphazard trajectory.
289
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:18.920
One minute you would be doing the carpentry. Next thing
290
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.039
you would be doing something else, anything and everything, you know,
291
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.680
five minute wonders. Really all these different things he did.
292
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:31.720
Although Malchaye showed some prowess as a decorator, he and
293
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.920
Duffy would look to supplement their income in other ways.
294
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:38.599
It was petty criminal breaking into cars, stealing the odd
295
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.519
car here, and they're both involved in it, both quite
296
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:43.279
happy to get involved in it.
297
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:49.279
Despite his antics, David Malchaye was a happily married man.
298
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.640
They were married for a number of years. They had
299
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:57.519
three children. They were family people. He was a terrific neighbor.
300
00:19:58.200 --> 00:19:59.480
He was the kind of guy that would help the
301
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:01.839
old lady in with the shopping. Facted that regularly.
302
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.119
John Duffy was less sociable, but had also married in
303
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:12.680
nineteen eighty. His true affections, however, appeared to remain with
304
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.839
his lifelong friend.
305
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:17.759
John Duffy and David Molkhachi had quite a strained relationship.
306
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:23.640
They were both in marital relationships, but they were closer
307
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:27.559
to each other than they were to their own wives.
308
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:31.640
They were quite immature, and I think the friendship they
309
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:35.319
had allowed them to stay immature because that's where the
310
00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:38.039
fun was for them, and they didn't really want to
311
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.200
grow up and take responsibility. And what they had in
312
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.960
each other was an affirmation for your cool the way
313
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:45.400
you are.
314
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:49.880
They would take time watching videos together. They had a
315
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:54.359
fascination with martial art movies. They would practice at home together.
316
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:59.559
They both at once for ageb long to martial arts clubs.
317
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.880
As Duffy's marriage hit the rocks, his obsession with martial
318
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.400
arts would manifest itself in numerous attacks on his wife.
319
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:10.920
He wouldn't really accept the fact that the marriage was
320
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.640
breaking down, consequently forced this attention upon his wife.
321
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:20.079
She reported him to the police for domestic violence.
322
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:24.359
Duffy's wife had accused him of raping her at knife point.
323
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:28.480
As police added his name to a database, they were
324
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:31.599
unaware that a suburb of London was about to be
325
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:42.119
struck by another sexual murder. During nineteen eighty six, the
326
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.039
strangled bodies of two young women had been found within
327
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.640
close proximity of the railways in southeast England. The repeated
328
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:53.319
use of a distinctive ligature had allowed investigators to connect
329
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:58.279
the brutal crimes. Just one month later, police in Hertfordshire
330
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:00.279
would face another worrying develop.
331
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:05.440
An Locke was a secretary with a television company in London.
332
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.519
Every day she traveled to and from her job from
333
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:10.960
King's Cross on a line that took her through the
334
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.720
suburban station of Brookman's Park where she lived.
335
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:17.400
She had left work, she got on the train coming bank,
336
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:19.759
but then she had literally disappeared off the face of
337
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:20.160
the earth.
338
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:24.400
Anne was in the habit of cycling to and from
339
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:26.640
Brookman's Park station to her home.
340
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:32.759
And the concern was heightened because her bike had now
341
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:36.359
been found still pad locked away from the cycle shed.
342
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:42.359
Anne was newly wed. Her husband made a very impassioned
343
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.440
appeal for anyone who knew anything about where his wife
344
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.319
was or what had happened to her to come forward.
345
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.640
Fearing the worst, the police did instigate a big search
346
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.039
of the fields and forests and open land around Brookman's
347
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:56.720
Park station.
348
00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:02.839
Police Constable Keith did was part of the resulting search team.
349
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:05.759
We had to search this tunnel. Now, the water level
350
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:08.160
in that time was up to about here, which up
351
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:13.599
to about high high. We searched it by hand. It
352
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:15.839
was cold, it was deep, there were rats in there
353
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:17.759
and we were actually putting our hands down into all
354
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.519
the durable black water, but we didn't find anything.
355
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.599
But as PC Dean climbed a nearby bank, he would
356
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:28.559
be faced with an ominous sign.
357
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:32.160
Down here on the left hand side. I saw glinting
358
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.279
through the sunshine, and that his face in the bridge
359
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:40.720
was a diary. Mile stopped because clearly she's not going
360
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:43.359
to ditch your own property. So it really then took
361
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:45.440
off into a major inquiry from that point onwards.
362
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.279
As police desperately tried to find the missing woman, detectives
363
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.720
investigating the string of rapes in North London were keen
364
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:58.079
to talk to Kilburn resident John Duffy.
365
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:03.200
Duffy is not a hot suspect. He's something like number
366
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.400
fifteen hundred and ninety on a list of possible people
367
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:07.799
that the police want to interview.
368
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:11.279
The twenty seven year old had been placed on the
369
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.440
police database after his wife had accused him of raping
370
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:15.880
her in nineteen eighty five.
371
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:20.640
When he arrives at the police station, the detectives looked
372
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:24.920
at Duffy. He looks very much like the way that
373
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:28.079
some of the rape victims have described their attacker. He
374
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:32.519
is small, he's got piercing blue eyes, he's got mousey
375
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:35.599
gingery hair and he's got a very pop mark face.
376
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:40.079
During that interview he saw paperwork on the desk that
377
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:45.960
included the photo fit of the railway rapists.
378
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:49.200
So from being number fifteen hundred and ninety on the
379
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.559
list of suspects, Duffy's now propelled up into the top ten.
380
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:58.400
Duffy was released, but to the surprise of police, showed
381
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:00.799
up at West Hampstead station later that night.
382
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:07.160
Duffy turns up with facial injuries and an apparent knife
383
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:08.640
wound to his chest.
384
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:11.599
His story what had been out. He'd been attacked.
385
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.279
As a result of the trauma of being injured in
386
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.759
this way, he made navigation. He couldn't remember anything that
387
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:20.599
had gone on in his previous life.
388
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:26.960
The upshot of all this is that he was then
389
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:31.160
in psychiatric hospital and did undergo treatment for amnesia.
390
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.880
Days later, the body of missing secretary And Locke was
391
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:43.119
found near a trackside in Hertfordshire. Her corpse revealed sadistic
392
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:48.240
hallmarks now familiar to police.
393
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.200
Within hours of seeing Anne Locke's body on a railway
394
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:54.759
embankment in Hertfordshire, detectives were certain she was the third
395
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:57.200
woman to die at the hands of a sex attacker
396
00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:58.440
stalking the railways.
397
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:04.440
Unfortunately, her body was actually badly decomposed, but it was
398
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.519
suffocation by a gag that had been placed in her
399
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.880
mouth from her own clothing. But there was also evidence
400
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.519
that her fingers had been tied behind her back.
401
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:19.880
As in the case of Marty Tambosa, parts of Anne's
402
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.680
body had been burnt in an attempt to cover up
403
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:29.039
a rape. Further scrutiny of the three sexual murders would
404
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:31.680
bring investigators to a morbid conclusion.
405
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.119
Analysis of all the evidence led the police to believe
406
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:40.799
that there was a strong link between the railway murders
407
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.119
and the twelve or more rapes that had happened over
408
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:45.200
the previous few years.
409
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:51.079
In North London, newly admitted psychiatric patient John Duffy was
410
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:54.759
now not only suspected of multiple rapes, he was also
411
00:26:54.839 --> 00:27:02.200
a potential killer. But when when police attempted to reinterview him,
412
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.400
they would discover he had been discharged from hospital.
413
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:09.359
A few weeks after he was released, Duffy waylaid a
414
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:13.599
fourteen year old schoolgirl and attempted to rape her, but
415
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:17.480
during the attack his mask slipped and she was able
416
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:25.200
to later vitally identify him.
417
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:29.319
Duffy was finally arrested. When police searched his family home,
418
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.480
they found an important clue that also implicated him in murder.
419
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:38.319
Among the most telling evidence was a large ball of
420
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:43.720
the very singular and easily identifiable unique yarn that Duffy
421
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:45.480
had used to tie up his victims.
422
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:49.079
The string had been used in the murders of Allison
423
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:56.799
Day and Marty Tambosa. It seemed police finally had their man,
424
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:01.319
but they still had a major concern. Duffy had also
425
00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:05.359
been implicated in the North London rapes, but that campaign
426
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:07.759
of terror had not been at the hand of a
427
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:08.920
single perpetrator.
428
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:12.640
The Great Pig teams were able to say, yes, it
429
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:15.680
was two people in Bold, a big fella and a
430
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:16.279
little fellow.
431
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:20.279
The bills were different, complexions were different, hair was different.
432
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:24.480
So therefore we've got Duffy who was the other guy?
433
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:31.000
The diminutive John Duffy's taller childhood friend, David Malcaye, became
434
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:32.000
the other suspect.
435
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:35.759
Malkaye, in interview, says, well, doesn't look good for me.
436
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.640
You are'm in the frame because I'm Duffy's only friend.
437
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:40.079
He hasn't got any other friends.
438
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:43.119
He claimed that yes, He and Duffy had been good
439
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:47.319
friends at school, but that relationship had split that they
440
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.640
no longer saw Eager, then no longer spoke.
441
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:55.960
Despite police suspicions, no charges stuck to the charismatic malchaye
442
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.559
John duff He would face multiple charges. As news filtered
443
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.680
out the trial called the attention of one of Duffy's
444
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:08.400
old classmates.
445
00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:12.400
Duffy, the whole thing just it was almost like being
446
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:16.519
turned on this character who was in the playground back
447
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:19.000
in the seventies. The fact that he rubbed shoulders with
448
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:23.799
someone turned from a reclusive type of character at school
449
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:28.680
to do something as terrible as he did. It's just horrendous.
450
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:32.680
In nineteen eighty eight, Duffy went on trial at the
451
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:36.519
Old Bailey, charged with two murders and several rapes.
452
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:41.759
Despite overwhelming evidence, Duffy would plead not guilty.
453
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:46.599
Throughout trial. John Duffy claimed he had no memory of
454
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.640
anything that occurred during that fending period, so that he
455
00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:55.079
couldn't help and that was his sole defense. Anesia.
456
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.839
Duffy's explanation was rejected by the jury. He was convicted
457
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:04.000
of five rapes and the murders of Alison Day and
458
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:08.599
Marty Tambosa. There was insufficient evidence to prosecute Duffy for
459
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.839
Anne Locke's murder.
460
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:14.759
He was sentenced to thirty years imprisonment, which subsequently he
461
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:17.799
received a letter from the Home Secretary saying he was
462
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:20.359
a full lifeturn prisoner, never to be released.
463
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:24.039
I saw a Duffy taken down the steps at the
464
00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:27.359
Old Bailey to be taken away to jail, and I
465
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:31.559
thought that's the last we'll ever hear from him.
466
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:36.160
While Duffy was incarcerated, his childhood friend appeared to have
467
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:36.680
moved on.
468
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:41.519
While Khaki was carrying on his married life, his family life.
469
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:43.799
He was going for days up with his kids, carrying
470
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:44.599
the neighbour's shopping.
471
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:50.960
Yes, I will build up this wonderful family relationship, this
472
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:53.640
relationship with my friends and neighbors. Yeah, you want me
473
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:55.480
to do a favor, of course I will help you, etc.
474
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:02.079
The former martial arts fan had developed few interests. Roller
475
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:05.240
skating was a particular passion, and he often took part
476
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:09.720
in charity events, while Kai would also attend soul music
477
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:12.559
gatherings with a close group of friends.
478
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:18.000
David always came across as a good friend once every
479
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:22.279
three months. We used to travel by train to attend
480
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:24.680
the Soul Weekends.
481
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:26.480
He was bowls.
482
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:30.200
He used to have the gift of the gab.
483
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:36.000
Meanwhile, in Whitemoor prison, life hadn't been so easy for
484
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:36.720
John Duffy.
485
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:44.039
He did have a significant mental breakdown. He had found
486
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:47.200
a way to repress the memories of his offending.
487
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:54.960
The lease was still convinced Duffy had been involved in
488
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.880
the unsolved murder of Anne Locke in nineteen eighty six.
489
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:03.119
Over a decade later, psychologist Jenny Cutler would encourage the
490
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:04.400
prisoner to open up.
491
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:08.960
He made mention of a co defendant. I asked the
492
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:14.200
question which prisoners you're co defendant ding, and was very
493
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:19.559
taken aback when John said he's never been arrested.
494
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:26.960
Faced with this revelation, coaxing the truth from Duffy required
495
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:28.000
gentle persuasion.
496
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:34.400
We talked a little more about his feelings about telling
497
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:39.359
for the first time that David Marquye had committed a
498
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:43.480
number of offenses with him, including rapes of murders.
499
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:50.799
This incredible accusation was matched by another extraordinary development. A
500
00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:53.759
new string of sexual assaults had started up in North
501
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:57.000
London which closely matched the rapes carried out in the
502
00:32:57.079 --> 00:32:57.759
nineteen eighties.
503
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:03.119
Thoughts were that perhaps stuff he had been released, so
504
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:05.319
we checked that out. He hadn't.
505
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:09.200
We knew there was two people involved in this. Who
506
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:12.720
was the suspect with him? Malkaye was the suspect with him,
507
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.720
so therefore was Mulkaie now after all these years reoffended.
508
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:21.920
David Mulchaye was brought in for questioning.
509
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:26.160
Retreated a bit of a joke. He was laughing about
510
00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:28.039
whether or not we get him a bacon sandwich and
511
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:32.440
dropping off at work. After the interview was over. He
512
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:35.200
was required to give a DNA sample, but he was
513
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.279
very happy to do so.
514
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.200
Despite their hopes, police drew a blank. Another perpetrator would
515
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:46.680
later be convicted for the nineties rapes. However, armed with
516
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:51.240
new DNA technology, Malchai's sample was tested against one of
517
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:56.759
the eighties crimes.
518
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:01.720
Two Danish ow pairs had been raped by two men
519
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:06.519
in Highgate. During that attack, their hands and wrists had
520
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:10.320
been bound using tape. A re examination of that tape
521
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.199
proves a forensic link to David Mulkai.
522
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:18.800
The huge break in the case was reinforced by John
523
00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:23.760
Duffy's continuing confession. He would recall how David mulkay had
524
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:25.559
been involved in many of the rapes.
525
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.960
According to Duffy, is that he would receive a call
526
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:37.280
from Mulkaye and the expression used by Duffy too Mulkaye
527
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:43.480
is the fancy going out hunting, which immediately signified that, yeah,
528
00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:46.559
we're going out to find a victim.
529
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:50.920
They would play Michael Jackson's thriller tape and it was
530
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:52.880
a sort of a mood setting.
531
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:56.079
Thing which they obviously got a buzz from, psyched theirselves
532
00:34:56.159 --> 00:35:02.480
up from Mulcley controlling factor. Out of the two of them,
533
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:03.840
he was the stronger character.
534
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:11.079
This is a couple who actually got a lot of
535
00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:13.880
fun out of the idea that they were hunting down
536
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:19.280
these women looking for prey. It empowered them, made them
537
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:23.840
feel like he men and it wasn't like stalking somebody.
538
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:26.480
It was just simply somebody at the wrong place at
539
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:27.079
the wrong time.
540
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:33.239
As police continued to gather evidence, Malkay was placed under
541
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:38.880
surveillance in Northwest London. Former Detective Sergeant Kevin Shanahan recalls
542
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:39.519
the operation.
543
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:43.320
He would take his children to the local school and
544
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:47.159
then he would go to various parts of Greater London
545
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:50.440
wherever he had work. He had a cafe in this
546
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:55.119
locality which he would frequent. One of us was at
547
00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:58.039
one end of the cafe. I was at the other,
548
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:03.239
close to him. He was Gregarius, you could call him
549
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:05.880
loud even why boy, you knew he was always there.
550
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:11.360
He would stand out. He had formed a family life,
551
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.760
established himself in the community, had a job, and was settled.
552
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:20.280
We were able to reassure the team, but as he
553
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:25.000
was today, he was not a threat to women. For
554
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:27.519
all of us, it was quite a surprise and almost
555
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:29.559
like a shock that he was able to put that
556
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:31.960
dark pass behind him so easily and readily.
557
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:36.880
When they function in society, they can hold jobs, they
558
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.960
can have a family, they can interact with other people.
559
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:43.840
They active in the community with lots of friends. Those
560
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:46.400
who are close to them have no idea at all
561
00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:50.000
what's really underneath and really what they're capable of.
562
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:56.840
As surveillance continued, John Duff's extraordinary confession would turn to murder,
563
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:02.480
revealing his former friend David Malcom as the darkest and
564
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:14.840
most depraved of killers. During nineteen ninety eight, investigators had
565
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:18.320
positively matched the DNA of David Malkaye to a series
566
00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:22.199
of rapes committed in North London a decade before. As
567
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:26.079
police surveillance continued, the confession of his partner in crime,
568
00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:32.320
John Duffy would also implicate Malchai in murder. Former detective
569
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:36.320
Mick Freeman recalls Duffy's account of the escalation from rape
570
00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.440
during the canal side attack on Allison.
571
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:42.639
Day prior to her actual murder. She was made to
572
00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:49.800
walk along the outside of the bridge. You're looking at
573
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:53.239
a fall there from the bridge into the water of
574
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:56.280
something fifteen sixteen foot.
575
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:04.199
Need for that. It didn't fulfill anything other than to
576
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:06.280
carry on the rain of terror.
577
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:11.039
She fell in. She managed to scramble out ran for
578
00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:17.079
a life in that direction. Mulkaye caught up with her,
579
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:22.159
and it's my opinion at that stage that Mulkaye was
580
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:26.239
initially annoyed how dare she run away? So therefore you
581
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:29.840
know she will suffer for this. He then started the
582
00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:33.920
initial strangulation of Alison. He then said to Duffy, well,
583
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:36.559
you know I've done my bit. It's the au turn now,
584
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:40.519
and Duffy willingly put the final sort of twists on
585
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:41.599
the Torni cake.
586
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:46.400
For David Mulkakey. The saxual element had started to lose
587
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:53.719
its attraction, the violence had increased. It was inflicting the terror,
588
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:58.480
inflicting the fear. Sadly for Allison that that ultimately ended
589
00:38:58.760 --> 00:38:59.519
in her murder.
590
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:12.480
As the evidence mounted, David Malchaye would appear in the
591
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:16.800
Old Bailey in two thousand, charged with multiple rapes and
592
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:20.960
the murders of Alison Day, Marty Tambosa, and Anne Locke.
593
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:27.599
It was very different from the gregarious, outgoing joker that
594
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:33.480
he had been. He wouldn't engage in any conversation. He
595
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:36.000
protested an innocence that he'd been fitted.
596
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:41.639
Up after ten years silence. Malchaye's lifelong friend John Duffy
597
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:45.400
would turn against him, providing damning evidence.
598
00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:52.280
They had a very skewed martial arts based philosophy, and
599
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:55.800
this resulted in this pact if you like not to
600
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:59.639
reveal the other party if one of them was arrested.
601
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:05.599
Duffy basically turned moreku he in, probably because he was
602
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:08.119
in jail and he felt that he didn't want maka
603
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:10.599
he to be out and enjoying life while he's in jail,
604
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:13.440
another act of sadism.
605
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:17.800
He knows that he can never be forgiven by society
606
00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:22.360
for what he's done, but I think he definitely felt
607
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:28.719
that bringing closure to victims was a very positive thing
608
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:29.559
for him to do.
609
00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:36.280
There were no deals. He was convicted of a number
610
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:39.400
of other offenses. He remains a whole of life prisoner.
611
00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:44.840
In February two thousand and one, David Malchaye was convicted
612
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:49.039
of four rapes and the murders of three women, including
613
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:51.840
the unsolved case of Anne Locke.
614
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:57.320
When you look at the murders, the brutality, the power
615
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:01.400
that Malchaye liked to exert upon his victim, I've got
616
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:04.559
no doubts in my mind whatsoever that he was the
617
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:08.519
force between the two of them.
618
00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:12.480
It's hard to conceive that someone I knew as a
619
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:17.880
friend would be committing these sorts of crimes. I recall
620
00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:21.039
I went for a stroll with David. He disclosed to
621
00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:23.840
me that he had done something bad, but he wouldn't
622
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:28.840
tell me what. After finding out what he was arrested
623
00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:32.360
for makes me think back to that time and what
624
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:36.960
he could have possibly wanted to tell me. I'm not
625
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:41.440
sure that David I knew was genuine, just a PERSONA.
626
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:48.519
Thirteen years after the conviction of John Duffy, David Malcay
627
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:52.960
was sentenced to a life behind bars together, the friends
628
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:56.960
left a trail of devastation in their wake. But were
629
00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:02.719
these heenous crimes? Their destiny was twisted team born to kill.
630
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:06.880
I don't know if they were actually born this way.
631
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.679
The thinking that these individuals have is so deviant, and
632
00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:12.960
so they don't share it with anybody. They keep it
633
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:16.440
totally to themselves. But in this particular case, for one
634
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:19.119
reason or another, these were good friends, and one of
635
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:21.599
them told the other one what they had been thinking,
636
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:25.719
and it sort of provided some support or relief and
637
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:31.400
bonding actually between the two of them.
638
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:36.559
Duffy was an inadequate kind of person, immature, and I
639
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:41.960
do think that he needed somebody to affirm what he
640
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:44.760
wanted to do to people before he would actually act out.
641
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:48.320
I think the question, famil is, what would have happened
642
00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:51.599
if Duffy Mulcaky hadn't met. The French have a term
643
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:55.559
for it, the folio to the furnishership too. I think
644
00:42:55.599 --> 00:42:59.119
once they'd met, once it started on their offending, they
645
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:00.760
were always going to end drom.
646
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:08.400
Their personalities coming together released an evil energy, a wickedness
647
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:12.119
that was clearly within both of them. It seems that
648
00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:15.239
they nurtured each other's nature. Whether they were born to
649
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:19.119
kill or not, they certainly became serial killers together.
1
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:04.440
In the mid nineteen eighties, a series of brutal rapes
2
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:06.679
spread fear throughout North London.
3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.439
In some of these crimes there was one man, and
4
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.919
in some of them there was one man and his accomplice.
5
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:16.519
They are hunting down these women, looking for prey.
6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.960
As the violence intensified, you get this tie of the hands,
7
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:26.280
subjecting the victim to terror. Serial sadists would turn to murder.
8
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.399
They can feel the person dying. They are in total
9
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.280
control of the individual's life.
10
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.119
What drove this twisted team There was an evil energy
11
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.159
or wickedness that was clearly within both of them, and
12
00:00:40.280 --> 00:01:15.959
were they born to kill. Hackney Wick is an urban
13
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.920
area to the east of London. Formerly a hub of industry,
14
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:25.000
the borough recently experienced a period of rejuvenation, creating an
15
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.920
eclectic neighborhood around its warehouses and network of canals.
16
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.519
Where we are now, it's on the towpath of the
17
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:38.280
Lee Navigation Canal. Back in the eighties the area was
18
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.959
completely undeveloped, nothing like it is at the moment. It
19
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.040
was just all open scrub lane.
20
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.959
During the Christmas holidays of nineteen eighty five, one local
21
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.519
girl was due to arrive at the nearby train station.
22
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.560
Alison Day was a young lady. She lived with a parents.
23
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.079
She was going to have a pleasant, even a social
24
00:01:58.120 --> 00:01:59.239
evening up with a boyfriend.
25
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.680
It was usually a very busy area, but it being
26
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.920
a holiday season, there were very few people about. It
27
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.159
was quite isolated.
28
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.960
Her boyfriend expected her at a particular time. When she
29
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:20.280
didn't arrive, he then contacted his mother and the pair
30
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.879
of them searched the area for her. But where was
31
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:26.719
he to look, you know, he didn't know whether she
32
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:31.439
had arrived in this particular location or hadn't got this far,
33
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.080
so it was very much hit and miss as to
34
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.080
where they were looking. There was no sign of anything.
35
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.560
The boyfriend reported her missing to the police and it
36
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.199
was dealt with at that stage as a missing person inquiry.
37
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.960
Allison was last seen on December the twenty ninth. She
38
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.639
left home to travel to Hackney to meet her boyfriend
39
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.360
who was working late at a Canal Bank printing works.
40
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.280
Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen her
41
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.000
on that journey and.
42
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.360
Major investigation was launched the canal There is what were searched?
43
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.039
Where do you start looking? You know who your suspects,
44
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:11.719
what's the motive behind it?
45
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:18.479
After seventeen days of intensive searching, Alison Day's body was found.
46
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.919
As the corpse was revealed, officers were filled with a
47
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:23.759
sense of dread.
48
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.439
It was down there that the body was put into
49
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:33.400
the canal. Her coat was weighted down with two lumps
50
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.120
of concrete blocks.
51
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.280
The mode of murder immediately became apparent.
52
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.560
From the minute that body was taken out through water.
53
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:48.599
It was obvious to all concerned that she had this
54
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.719
ligature around her neck with the piece of wood still
55
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:52.400
attached to it.
56
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.759
Alison had been strangled with an item of her own clothing.
57
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.840
Material from her blouse had been placed around her neck
58
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.439
in a loop, this piece of wood then being inserted
59
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.680
in it, and gradual pressure had been applied by twisting
60
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:12.439
the wood.
61
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.319
To have your own clothing put her own your neck.
62
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.120
This must have been terrifying.
63
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.480
The statistic tool resembled a traditional ligature known as a
64
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:24.560
Spanish windlass.
65
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.480
I knew people on that Tibo detectives. None of them
66
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:33.879
could ever recall seeing this method used in any murder. Ever, before.
67
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.079
Further twisted details would also come to light.
68
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.079
A gag had also been placed in her mouth from
69
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.639
items of her blouse that had also been cut the
70
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.480
same materials used to bind her hands.
71
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.199
The heenous crime bore no witnesses, but the proximity to
72
00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.439
Hackneywick Station allowed investigators to deduce the probable scenario for
73
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:01.360
the callous crime.
74
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.000
The station is just twenty five thirty yards off to
75
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:11.439
our right. There. She was then taken across the railway track,
76
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.759
brought down onto the tow path here and from here
77
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:21.360
she was initially raped and then ultimately we can once say,
78
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:22.360
tortured to death.
79
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.160
Despite their initial theories, police had little to go on.
80
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.800
The fact that the body had been immersed in water
81
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.879
for a period of time. Forensic evidence would have probably
82
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:41.040
been greatly diminished. As it was, we were talking about
83
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.639
the nineteen ages, so DNA hadn't been perfected at that stage.
84
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.879
There was a lot of press coverage of the murder
85
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.519
of Alison Day because it was a great tragedy, and
86
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.120
also with that kind of offense there's always the worry
87
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.240
that it may be part of or the beginning of
88
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:01.639
serial offenses.
89
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.920
As investigators attempted to piece together the horrific crime, they
90
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.120
were unaware that the railway had become a hunting ground
91
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:25.480
for murder. During December nineteen eighty five, nineteen year old
92
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.879
Allison Day was abducted from a train station in Hackney.
93
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.240
The secretary was brutally raped and strangled before being dumped
94
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.040
in a nearby canal. But this was not the first
95
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.439
time the railway had been associated with depraved sexual crimes.
96
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.360
Less than ten miles away, the affluent suburbs of north
97
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.879
west London had been suffering a prolonged campaign of terror
98
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:57.160
since the early eighties.
99
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.279
Thirty officers, including eighteen women, have been formed into.
100
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:03.240
A special rape squad.
101
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.120
The telephones rang almost continuously, but many callers hung up
102
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.639
three or four times before they could pick up enough
103
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.839
courage to talk about their experiences.
104
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.399
There were a whole sequence of rapes of we'rein, mostly
105
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.160
late at night in the northwest part of London.
106
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:32.160
Some were perpetrated on heathlands scrubland, others near railway stations.
107
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.199
The sheer volume was astonishing, with over thirty rapes and
108
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:38.600
attacks being reported.
109
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.319
What was unusual about them was in some of these
110
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.240
crimes there was one man, and in some of them
111
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.399
there was one man and his accomplice, And because of that,
112
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.839
the police became convinced that all these rape offenses were
113
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.120
being committed by the same one and or two men.
114
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.759
As the attacks intensified, victims would increasingly report the use
115
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.199
of an knife.
116
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:07.639
If you look at the rights, the degree of brutality
117
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:12.079
escalates and it becomes more and more.
118
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.519
Any kind of extreme offender or rapist evolve. They experiment
119
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:22.079
with things, They'll try different weapons, and especially if they
120
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.800
haven't succeeded with one type, they'll move on to another
121
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.839
one that they think will be more lethal or more frightening,
122
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.759
and often with a knife. I mean, you have to
123
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:37.159
wonder if that isn't some kind of substitute for not
124
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:38.320
feeling very manly.
125
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.519
Most offenders carry a weapon with them, even if they
126
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:46.120
don't use it for intimidation purposes. These are individuals that
127
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.120
feel very weak internally, and so a weapon, a gun
128
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.200
or a knife or something makes them feel strong.
129
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.759
The majority of the brutal attacks had taken place in
130
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.759
the neighborhood of two life long friends, John Duffy and
131
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:09.559
David Malcay. Born on the twenty ninth of November nineteen
132
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.080
fifty eight, Duffy had been raised in the London district
133
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:13.679
of Kilbourn.
134
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.600
He'd been born into a two parent family. He had
135
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:22.879
had a happy childhood. He'd always felt loved and cared for.
136
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:27.960
He had no particular serious illnesses in childhood, no periods
137
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:28.440
in care.
138
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.960
However, school life at Havistock Secondary wasn't so smooth for
139
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:37.120
the introverted loner.
140
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.639
Been eleven year old in a big, big school like that,
141
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:45.759
you sort of staying in the program, and watched Duffy
142
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:50.639
stuck out. He wore this Parker coats even in warm weather,
143
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:55.559
and I found that absolutely bizarre. This character was weird,
144
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:59.120
to say the very least. He did get bullied and
145
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:03.600
pushed around and picked on. You wouldn't say social misfit.
146
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.480
I just didn't think he fitted in with the crowd.
147
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.440
David Mulkay was the only one to stand up for
148
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:10.559
the awkward pupil.
149
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:17.440
Duffy is quite a small character, whereas Malchie is quite
150
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:23.559
big and stocky. I get the impression from school Malchie
151
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:26.559
sort of set herself up the Duffy's mind. You know,
152
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:28.960
anyone picks on my little pal, I'm going to sort
153
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.759
you out sort of thing, you know. And this sort
154
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.399
of bond grew between them.
155
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.480
The newfound friends shared many interests, one of which was
156
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:42.159
a dysfunctional approach to playground games.
157
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:52.720
They had played a game similar to kiss Chase, but
158
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:57.639
it has involved chasing girls and then catching them and
159
00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:58.960
touching them up.
160
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.240
As they get comfortable with each other and familiar with
161
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.320
each other, they can begin to sort through their fantasies,
162
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:10.080
usually sexual fantasies, and if those match in any way.
163
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:14.360
Now they'll start acting on things together. They'll start creating plans.
164
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.679
They'll start saying, why don't we try this and try that?
165
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:22.799
Inspired by Bruce Lee films, the teenage Duffy and mal
166
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:27.200
Kaye would share a passion for martial arts. Their world
167
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.279
of combat would also stretch into the realms of fantasy.
168
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.440
They would role play. They they would dress up the
169
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.440
soldiers that they would go out a lot Hampstead Heath
170
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.919
late at night, jumping out on the couples that were
171
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.360
walking along from the gay couples that frequented the area.
172
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.320
It was Tom Foolery at a late age in the
173
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:49.519
teenage Lives.
174
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:57.080
Ten years later, during the spring of nineteen eighty six,
175
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.480
police in nearby Hackney would brittlely searching for the killer
176
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:10.799
of nineteen year old Secretary Allison Day. Over thirty miles away,
177
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.799
the peaceful Surrey commuter village of East Hawsley was seemingly
178
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:21.279
far removed from such brutal acts. One child enjoying an
179
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:26.039
upbringing in this idyllic setting was Dutch schoolgirl Marty Tambosa.
180
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:31.440
Marty Tambosa was a very very pleasant fifteen year old
181
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.720
schoolgirl lived with her appearance in rented accommodation.
182
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.399
Her father worked in a petrochemical industry. Though you were
183
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.279
temporary resident in Surrey area.
184
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.200
As the school term drew to a close, the seventeenth
185
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.320
of April was a particularly exciting day for Marty.
186
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.159
She was due to go back to Holland on a
187
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.759
holiday with friends of hers. She had been to school
188
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:02.919
as usual and finish school about three o'clock. Marty mentioned
189
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.039
that as she was going out to Holland, she would
190
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.840
like to get some suits to take with her.
191
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.120
Mum agreed and it was as all good parents. She
192
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:13.960
told her that when she went, she was to cycle
193
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.960
the long way around to the village. She wasn't to
194
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.480
go down the line path, which is the little path
195
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:24.279
that runs along the railway line. I guess like all
196
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.480
good kids, Marty said, I want, and like all kids,
197
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.759
she chose to go the short way.
198
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:34.080
Disturbingly, the fifteen year old did not return from her
199
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.320
trip to the village shop.
200
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:41.000
Obviously, her mother was concerned. The alarm was raised. She
201
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.279
was reported as missing to Guildford Police station.
202
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:49.679
As concerns grew, an extensive police search was launched, but
203
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.279
Marty was nowhere to be found.
204
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.399
Two police officers, both dog hauntlers, were over in the
205
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.480
wooded area with the dogs and they came across a
206
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.440
couple of guys as they asked whether they had seen
207
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.480
anything untoward, and all they said is, well, over in
208
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.919
the wood there we saw what we think is a
209
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.360
green fertilizer bag.
210
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.480
But tragically all wasn't as it seemed.
211
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.080
The police officers went to this location and in fact
212
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:27.519
the green fertilizer bag transpired to be the body of
213
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:33.879
Marty Tombosa. She was found laying on her back with
214
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:38.559
her arm and legs at various angles, jeans pulled down
215
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:40.799
exposing the groin area.
216
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:45.519
As well as being brutally raped, the Dutch school girl
217
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:50.279
had also been strangled. The sadistic technique matched that suffered
218
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.080
by Hackney victim Allison Day.
219
00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:56.440
Her belt has been used as a ligature. Half of
220
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.279
it was still around the neck that laying loose and
221
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.360
prop to her body was a length of stick that
222
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.039
had come from this wood, which had been used to
223
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.399
tighten deligature around the neck.
224
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.840
Strangulation is the number one method that serial sexual murderers
225
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.440
use to kill their victims because it's up close and personal.
226
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.080
They can feel the person dying, and they want the
227
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.360
victim to know that, in fact, they are in total
228
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.799
control of the individual's life and death.
229
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:32.559
Further examination of Marty's body would reveal another sordid element
230
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:33.879
to the sexual attack.
231
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.919
One of the things they noticed straight away was that
232
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.600
there'd been an attempt to burn her body. A closer
233
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.639
examination by the police showed that tissues had been placed
234
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.039
around her private parts and set fire.
235
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:53.360
The body was also covered with tweaks, and I suspect
236
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.240
not with a view to hide the body, who hope
237
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.759
that these tweaks would have caught fire purely to stroy evidence.
238
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.320
The form of restraint inflicted on the schoolgirl would further
239
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:07.799
horrify investigators.
240
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:15.759
Marty had been tied up, subjecting her to fear and terror,
241
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:18.360
mental torture. Really.
242
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.840
The sadistic binding did, however, offer up a clue. A
243
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:28.200
distinctive paper based string known as som jan had been used.
244
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.120
The team did a lot of good work trying to
245
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:35.039
identify whether this had been produced natural fact that it
246
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.559
was from a small producer. There wasn't a great deal
247
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.320
of it sold in this country. It was relatively unusual
248
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:42.320
to find.
249
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:47.000
As police attempted to unravel the murder, they discovered that
250
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:50.879
the initial attack by the railway had been meticulously planned.
251
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:57.759
This is the area selected to abduct Marty town Bosa.
252
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.879
Fishing mine was strung across the path, which meant that
253
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.720
she would have to stop, get off a bike and
254
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.920
tried to negotiate the fishing line.
255
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.839
A piece of fishing line was tired across here at
256
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.920
about three foot high.
257
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.480
Marty had spotted this piece of fishing line that would
258
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.920
probably have knocked her from a bike, but she'd managed
259
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.279
to apply the brakes and stop in front of it.
260
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.880
The bike was thrown into the wood here and she
261
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.759
was taken across this field here over to Lolsworth Wood.
262
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:40.279
As investigators continued to work the case, a connection was
263
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:44.960
made with the twisted strangulation of Alison Day. Police now
264
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:51.960
believed they were searching for a single killer. A leading
265
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.720
psychological profiler was brought in to paint a picture of
266
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:56.599
the perpetrator.
267
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:00.519
He told the police that the man they were looking
268
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:05.480
for would be a white male age between twenty and
269
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.799
forty five, and that he would probably be married, but
270
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:10.519
with a very unhappy home life.
271
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.480
As detectives attempted to piece together the brazen trackside attacks,
272
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:18.519
they were unaware of a twenty seven year old man
273
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.400
with an extensive knowledge of the rail network.
274
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.960
Duffy was employed as a carpenter by the Railways. He
275
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:29.720
had access and free transport to train services all over London,
276
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.880
and part of his job enabled him to travel widely
277
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:33.599
on the network.
278
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.359
Although he had been dismissed from his post, John Duffy
279
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.680
had continued to travel. He was often accompanied by his
280
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:46.759
best friend, David mulcay.
281
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.839
Wel Kaye grew up in the Kilburn Stroke Hampstead era
282
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:55.599
parents Republicans.
283
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.160
David was the tom fool. He was a kinder kid
284
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.160
that somebody said, you know, Daved, go and stand in
285
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.359
front of that train when it's coming along. He'd wait
286
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:06.640
there and dive out at the last minute, anything to
287
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:09.240
ingratiate himself into other people's company.
288
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.920
Malchaye's adult life had followed a similarly haphazard trajectory.
289
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:18.920
One minute you would be doing the carpentry. Next thing
290
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.039
you would be doing something else, anything and everything, you know,
291
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.680
five minute wonders. Really all these different things he did.
292
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:31.720
Although Malchaye showed some prowess as a decorator, he and
293
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.920
Duffy would look to supplement their income in other ways.
294
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:38.599
It was petty criminal breaking into cars, stealing the odd
295
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.519
car here, and they're both involved in it, both quite
296
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:43.279
happy to get involved in it.
297
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:49.279
Despite his antics, David Malchaye was a happily married man.
298
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.640
They were married for a number of years. They had
299
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:57.519
three children. They were family people. He was a terrific neighbor.
300
00:19:58.200 --> 00:19:59.480
He was the kind of guy that would help the
301
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:01.839
old lady in with the shopping. Facted that regularly.
302
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.119
John Duffy was less sociable, but had also married in
303
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:12.680
nineteen eighty. His true affections, however, appeared to remain with
304
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.839
his lifelong friend.
305
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:17.759
John Duffy and David Molkhachi had quite a strained relationship.
306
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:23.640
They were both in marital relationships, but they were closer
307
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:27.559
to each other than they were to their own wives.
308
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:31.640
They were quite immature, and I think the friendship they
309
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:35.319
had allowed them to stay immature because that's where the
310
00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:38.039
fun was for them, and they didn't really want to
311
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.200
grow up and take responsibility. And what they had in
312
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.960
each other was an affirmation for your cool the way
313
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:45.400
you are.
314
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:49.880
They would take time watching videos together. They had a
315
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:54.359
fascination with martial art movies. They would practice at home together.
316
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:59.559
They both at once for ageb long to martial arts clubs.
317
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.880
As Duffy's marriage hit the rocks, his obsession with martial
318
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.400
arts would manifest itself in numerous attacks on his wife.
319
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:10.920
He wouldn't really accept the fact that the marriage was
320
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.640
breaking down, consequently forced this attention upon his wife.
321
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:20.079
She reported him to the police for domestic violence.
322
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:24.359
Duffy's wife had accused him of raping her at knife point.
323
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:28.480
As police added his name to a database, they were
324
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:31.599
unaware that a suburb of London was about to be
325
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:42.119
struck by another sexual murder. During nineteen eighty six, the
326
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.039
strangled bodies of two young women had been found within
327
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.640
close proximity of the railways in southeast England. The repeated
328
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:53.319
use of a distinctive ligature had allowed investigators to connect
329
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:58.279
the brutal crimes. Just one month later, police in Hertfordshire
330
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:00.279
would face another worrying develop.
331
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:05.440
An Locke was a secretary with a television company in London.
332
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.519
Every day she traveled to and from her job from
333
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:10.960
King's Cross on a line that took her through the
334
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.720
suburban station of Brookman's Park where she lived.
335
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:17.400
She had left work, she got on the train coming bank,
336
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:19.759
but then she had literally disappeared off the face of
337
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:20.160
the earth.
338
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:24.400
Anne was in the habit of cycling to and from
339
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:26.640
Brookman's Park station to her home.
340
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:32.759
And the concern was heightened because her bike had now
341
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:36.359
been found still pad locked away from the cycle shed.
342
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:42.359
Anne was newly wed. Her husband made a very impassioned
343
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.440
appeal for anyone who knew anything about where his wife
344
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.319
was or what had happened to her to come forward.
345
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.640
Fearing the worst, the police did instigate a big search
346
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.039
of the fields and forests and open land around Brookman's
347
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:56.720
Park station.
348
00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:02.839
Police Constable Keith did was part of the resulting search team.
349
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:05.759
We had to search this tunnel. Now, the water level
350
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:08.160
in that time was up to about here, which up
351
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:13.599
to about high high. We searched it by hand. It
352
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:15.839
was cold, it was deep, there were rats in there
353
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:17.759
and we were actually putting our hands down into all
354
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.519
the durable black water, but we didn't find anything.
355
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.599
But as PC Dean climbed a nearby bank, he would
356
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:28.559
be faced with an ominous sign.
357
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:32.160
Down here on the left hand side. I saw glinting
358
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.279
through the sunshine, and that his face in the bridge
359
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:40.720
was a diary. Mile stopped because clearly she's not going
360
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:43.359
to ditch your own property. So it really then took
361
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:45.440
off into a major inquiry from that point onwards.
362
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.279
As police desperately tried to find the missing woman, detectives
363
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.720
investigating the string of rapes in North London were keen
364
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:58.079
to talk to Kilburn resident John Duffy.
365
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:03.200
Duffy is not a hot suspect. He's something like number
366
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.400
fifteen hundred and ninety on a list of possible people
367
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:07.799
that the police want to interview.
368
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:11.279
The twenty seven year old had been placed on the
369
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.440
police database after his wife had accused him of raping
370
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:15.880
her in nineteen eighty five.
371
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:20.640
When he arrives at the police station, the detectives looked
372
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:24.920
at Duffy. He looks very much like the way that
373
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:28.079
some of the rape victims have described their attacker. He
374
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:32.519
is small, he's got piercing blue eyes, he's got mousey
375
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:35.599
gingery hair and he's got a very pop mark face.
376
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:40.079
During that interview he saw paperwork on the desk that
377
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:45.960
included the photo fit of the railway rapists.
378
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:49.200
So from being number fifteen hundred and ninety on the
379
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.559
list of suspects, Duffy's now propelled up into the top ten.
380
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:58.400
Duffy was released, but to the surprise of police, showed
381
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:00.799
up at West Hampstead station later that night.
382
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:07.160
Duffy turns up with facial injuries and an apparent knife
383
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:08.640
wound to his chest.
384
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:11.599
His story what had been out. He'd been attacked.
385
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.279
As a result of the trauma of being injured in
386
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.759
this way, he made navigation. He couldn't remember anything that
387
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:20.599
had gone on in his previous life.
388
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:26.960
The upshot of all this is that he was then
389
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:31.160
in psychiatric hospital and did undergo treatment for amnesia.
390
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.880
Days later, the body of missing secretary And Locke was
391
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:43.119
found near a trackside in Hertfordshire. Her corpse revealed sadistic
392
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:48.240
hallmarks now familiar to police.
393
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.200
Within hours of seeing Anne Locke's body on a railway
394
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:54.759
embankment in Hertfordshire, detectives were certain she was the third
395
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:57.200
woman to die at the hands of a sex attacker
396
00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:58.440
stalking the railways.
397
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:04.440
Unfortunately, her body was actually badly decomposed, but it was
398
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.519
suffocation by a gag that had been placed in her
399
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.880
mouth from her own clothing. But there was also evidence
400
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.519
that her fingers had been tied behind her back.
401
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:19.880
As in the case of Marty Tambosa, parts of Anne's
402
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.680
body had been burnt in an attempt to cover up
403
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:29.039
a rape. Further scrutiny of the three sexual murders would
404
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:31.680
bring investigators to a morbid conclusion.
405
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.119
Analysis of all the evidence led the police to believe
406
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:40.799
that there was a strong link between the railway murders
407
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.119
and the twelve or more rapes that had happened over
408
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:45.200
the previous few years.
409
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:51.079
In North London, newly admitted psychiatric patient John Duffy was
410
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:54.759
now not only suspected of multiple rapes, he was also
411
00:26:54.839 --> 00:27:02.200
a potential killer. But when when police attempted to reinterview him,
412
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.400
they would discover he had been discharged from hospital.
413
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:09.359
A few weeks after he was released, Duffy waylaid a
414
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:13.599
fourteen year old schoolgirl and attempted to rape her, but
415
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:17.480
during the attack his mask slipped and she was able
416
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:25.200
to later vitally identify him.
417
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:29.319
Duffy was finally arrested. When police searched his family home,
418
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.480
they found an important clue that also implicated him in murder.
419
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:38.319
Among the most telling evidence was a large ball of
420
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:43.720
the very singular and easily identifiable unique yarn that Duffy
421
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:45.480
had used to tie up his victims.
422
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:49.079
The string had been used in the murders of Allison
423
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:56.799
Day and Marty Tambosa. It seemed police finally had their man,
424
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:01.319
but they still had a major concern. Duffy had also
425
00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:05.359
been implicated in the North London rapes, but that campaign
426
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:07.759
of terror had not been at the hand of a
427
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:08.920
single perpetrator.
428
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:12.640
The Great Pig teams were able to say, yes, it
429
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:15.680
was two people in Bold, a big fella and a
430
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:16.279
little fellow.
431
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:20.279
The bills were different, complexions were different, hair was different.
432
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:24.480
So therefore we've got Duffy who was the other guy?
433
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:31.000
The diminutive John Duffy's taller childhood friend, David Malcaye, became
434
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:32.000
the other suspect.
435
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:35.759
Malkaye, in interview, says, well, doesn't look good for me.
436
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.640
You are'm in the frame because I'm Duffy's only friend.
437
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:40.079
He hasn't got any other friends.
438
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:43.119
He claimed that yes, He and Duffy had been good
439
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:47.319
friends at school, but that relationship had split that they
440
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.640
no longer saw Eager, then no longer spoke.
441
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:55.960
Despite police suspicions, no charges stuck to the charismatic malchaye
442
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.559
John duff He would face multiple charges. As news filtered
443
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.680
out the trial called the attention of one of Duffy's
444
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:08.400
old classmates.
445
00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:12.400
Duffy, the whole thing just it was almost like being
446
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:16.519
turned on this character who was in the playground back
447
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:19.000
in the seventies. The fact that he rubbed shoulders with
448
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:23.799
someone turned from a reclusive type of character at school
449
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:28.680
to do something as terrible as he did. It's just horrendous.
450
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:32.680
In nineteen eighty eight, Duffy went on trial at the
451
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:36.519
Old Bailey, charged with two murders and several rapes.
452
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:41.759
Despite overwhelming evidence, Duffy would plead not guilty.
453
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:46.599
Throughout trial. John Duffy claimed he had no memory of
454
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.640
anything that occurred during that fending period, so that he
455
00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:55.079
couldn't help and that was his sole defense. Anesia.
456
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.839
Duffy's explanation was rejected by the jury. He was convicted
457
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:04.000
of five rapes and the murders of Alison Day and
458
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:08.599
Marty Tambosa. There was insufficient evidence to prosecute Duffy for
459
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.839
Anne Locke's murder.
460
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:14.759
He was sentenced to thirty years imprisonment, which subsequently he
461
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:17.799
received a letter from the Home Secretary saying he was
462
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:20.359
a full lifeturn prisoner, never to be released.
463
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:24.039
I saw a Duffy taken down the steps at the
464
00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:27.359
Old Bailey to be taken away to jail, and I
465
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:31.559
thought that's the last we'll ever hear from him.
466
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:36.160
While Duffy was incarcerated, his childhood friend appeared to have
467
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:36.680
moved on.
468
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:41.519
While Khaki was carrying on his married life, his family life.
469
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:43.799
He was going for days up with his kids, carrying
470
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:44.599
the neighbour's shopping.
471
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:50.960
Yes, I will build up this wonderful family relationship, this
472
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:53.640
relationship with my friends and neighbors. Yeah, you want me
473
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:55.480
to do a favor, of course I will help you, etc.
474
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:02.079
The former martial arts fan had developed few interests. Roller
475
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:05.240
skating was a particular passion, and he often took part
476
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:09.720
in charity events, while Kai would also attend soul music
477
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:12.559
gatherings with a close group of friends.
478
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:18.000
David always came across as a good friend once every
479
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:22.279
three months. We used to travel by train to attend
480
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:24.680
the Soul Weekends.
481
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:26.480
He was bowls.
482
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:30.200
He used to have the gift of the gab.
483
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:36.000
Meanwhile, in Whitemoor prison, life hadn't been so easy for
484
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:36.720
John Duffy.
485
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:44.039
He did have a significant mental breakdown. He had found
486
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:47.200
a way to repress the memories of his offending.
487
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:54.960
The lease was still convinced Duffy had been involved in
488
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.880
the unsolved murder of Anne Locke in nineteen eighty six.
489
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:03.119
Over a decade later, psychologist Jenny Cutler would encourage the
490
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:04.400
prisoner to open up.
491
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:08.960
He made mention of a co defendant. I asked the
492
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:14.200
question which prisoners you're co defendant ding, and was very
493
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:19.559
taken aback when John said he's never been arrested.
494
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:26.960
Faced with this revelation, coaxing the truth from Duffy required
495
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:28.000
gentle persuasion.
496
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:34.400
We talked a little more about his feelings about telling
497
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:39.359
for the first time that David Marquye had committed a
498
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:43.480
number of offenses with him, including rapes of murders.
499
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:50.799
This incredible accusation was matched by another extraordinary development. A
500
00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:53.759
new string of sexual assaults had started up in North
501
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:57.000
London which closely matched the rapes carried out in the
502
00:32:57.079 --> 00:32:57.759
nineteen eighties.
503
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:03.119
Thoughts were that perhaps stuff he had been released, so
504
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:05.319
we checked that out. He hadn't.
505
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:09.200
We knew there was two people involved in this. Who
506
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:12.720
was the suspect with him? Malkaye was the suspect with him,
507
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.720
so therefore was Mulkaie now after all these years reoffended.
508
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:21.920
David Mulchaye was brought in for questioning.
509
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:26.160
Retreated a bit of a joke. He was laughing about
510
00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:28.039
whether or not we get him a bacon sandwich and
511
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:32.440
dropping off at work. After the interview was over. He
512
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:35.200
was required to give a DNA sample, but he was
513
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.279
very happy to do so.
514
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.200
Despite their hopes, police drew a blank. Another perpetrator would
515
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:46.680
later be convicted for the nineties rapes. However, armed with
516
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:51.240
new DNA technology, Malchai's sample was tested against one of
517
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:56.759
the eighties crimes.
518
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:01.720
Two Danish ow pairs had been raped by two men
519
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:06.519
in Highgate. During that attack, their hands and wrists had
520
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:10.320
been bound using tape. A re examination of that tape
521
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.199
proves a forensic link to David Mulkai.
522
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:18.800
The huge break in the case was reinforced by John
523
00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:23.760
Duffy's continuing confession. He would recall how David mulkay had
524
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:25.559
been involved in many of the rapes.
525
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.960
According to Duffy, is that he would receive a call
526
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:37.280
from Mulkaye and the expression used by Duffy too Mulkaye
527
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:43.480
is the fancy going out hunting, which immediately signified that, yeah,
528
00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:46.559
we're going out to find a victim.
529
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:50.920
They would play Michael Jackson's thriller tape and it was
530
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:52.880
a sort of a mood setting.
531
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:56.079
Thing which they obviously got a buzz from, psyched theirselves
532
00:34:56.159 --> 00:35:02.480
up from Mulcley controlling factor. Out of the two of them,
533
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:03.840
he was the stronger character.
534
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:11.079
This is a couple who actually got a lot of
535
00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:13.880
fun out of the idea that they were hunting down
536
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:19.280
these women looking for prey. It empowered them, made them
537
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:23.840
feel like he men and it wasn't like stalking somebody.
538
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:26.480
It was just simply somebody at the wrong place at
539
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:27.079
the wrong time.
540
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:33.239
As police continued to gather evidence, Malkay was placed under
541
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:38.880
surveillance in Northwest London. Former Detective Sergeant Kevin Shanahan recalls
542
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:39.519
the operation.
543
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:43.320
He would take his children to the local school and
544
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:47.159
then he would go to various parts of Greater London
545
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:50.440
wherever he had work. He had a cafe in this
546
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:55.119
locality which he would frequent. One of us was at
547
00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:58.039
one end of the cafe. I was at the other,
548
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:03.239
close to him. He was Gregarius, you could call him
549
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:05.880
loud even why boy, you knew he was always there.
550
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:11.360
He would stand out. He had formed a family life,
551
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.760
established himself in the community, had a job, and was settled.
552
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:20.280
We were able to reassure the team, but as he
553
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:25.000
was today, he was not a threat to women. For
554
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:27.519
all of us, it was quite a surprise and almost
555
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:29.559
like a shock that he was able to put that
556
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:31.960
dark pass behind him so easily and readily.
557
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:36.880
When they function in society, they can hold jobs, they
558
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.960
can have a family, they can interact with other people.
559
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:43.840
They active in the community with lots of friends. Those
560
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:46.400
who are close to them have no idea at all
561
00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:50.000
what's really underneath and really what they're capable of.
562
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:56.840
As surveillance continued, John Duff's extraordinary confession would turn to murder,
563
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:02.480
revealing his former friend David Malcom as the darkest and
564
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:14.840
most depraved of killers. During nineteen ninety eight, investigators had
565
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:18.320
positively matched the DNA of David Malkaye to a series
566
00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:22.199
of rapes committed in North London a decade before. As
567
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:26.079
police surveillance continued, the confession of his partner in crime,
568
00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:32.320
John Duffy would also implicate Malchai in murder. Former detective
569
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:36.320
Mick Freeman recalls Duffy's account of the escalation from rape
570
00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.440
during the canal side attack on Allison.
571
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:42.639
Day prior to her actual murder. She was made to
572
00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:49.800
walk along the outside of the bridge. You're looking at
573
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:53.239
a fall there from the bridge into the water of
574
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:56.280
something fifteen sixteen foot.
575
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:04.199
Need for that. It didn't fulfill anything other than to
576
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:06.280
carry on the rain of terror.
577
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:11.039
She fell in. She managed to scramble out ran for
578
00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:17.079
a life in that direction. Mulkaye caught up with her,
579
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:22.159
and it's my opinion at that stage that Mulkaye was
580
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:26.239
initially annoyed how dare she run away? So therefore you
581
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:29.840
know she will suffer for this. He then started the
582
00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:33.920
initial strangulation of Alison. He then said to Duffy, well,
583
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:36.559
you know I've done my bit. It's the au turn now,
584
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:40.519
and Duffy willingly put the final sort of twists on
585
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:41.599
the Torni cake.
586
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:46.400
For David Mulkakey. The saxual element had started to lose
587
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:53.719
its attraction, the violence had increased. It was inflicting the terror,
588
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:58.480
inflicting the fear. Sadly for Allison that that ultimately ended
589
00:38:58.760 --> 00:38:59.519
in her murder.
590
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:12.480
As the evidence mounted, David Malchaye would appear in the
591
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:16.800
Old Bailey in two thousand, charged with multiple rapes and
592
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:20.960
the murders of Alison Day, Marty Tambosa, and Anne Locke.
593
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:27.599
It was very different from the gregarious, outgoing joker that
594
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:33.480
he had been. He wouldn't engage in any conversation. He
595
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:36.000
protested an innocence that he'd been fitted.
596
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:41.639
Up after ten years silence. Malchaye's lifelong friend John Duffy
597
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:45.400
would turn against him, providing damning evidence.
598
00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:52.280
They had a very skewed martial arts based philosophy, and
599
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:55.800
this resulted in this pact if you like not to
600
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:59.639
reveal the other party if one of them was arrested.
601
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:05.599
Duffy basically turned moreku he in, probably because he was
602
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:08.119
in jail and he felt that he didn't want maka
603
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:10.599
he to be out and enjoying life while he's in jail,
604
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:13.440
another act of sadism.
605
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:17.800
He knows that he can never be forgiven by society
606
00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:22.360
for what he's done, but I think he definitely felt
607
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:28.719
that bringing closure to victims was a very positive thing
608
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:29.559
for him to do.
609
00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:36.280
There were no deals. He was convicted of a number
610
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:39.400
of other offenses. He remains a whole of life prisoner.
611
00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:44.840
In February two thousand and one, David Malchaye was convicted
612
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:49.039
of four rapes and the murders of three women, including
613
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:51.840
the unsolved case of Anne Locke.
614
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:57.320
When you look at the murders, the brutality, the power
615
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:01.400
that Malchaye liked to exert upon his victim, I've got
616
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:04.559
no doubts in my mind whatsoever that he was the
617
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:08.519
force between the two of them.
618
00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:12.480
It's hard to conceive that someone I knew as a
619
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:17.880
friend would be committing these sorts of crimes. I recall
620
00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:21.039
I went for a stroll with David. He disclosed to
621
00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:23.840
me that he had done something bad, but he wouldn't
622
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:28.840
tell me what. After finding out what he was arrested
623
00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:32.360
for makes me think back to that time and what
624
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:36.960
he could have possibly wanted to tell me. I'm not
625
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:41.440
sure that David I knew was genuine, just a PERSONA.
626
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:48.519
Thirteen years after the conviction of John Duffy, David Malcay
627
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:52.960
was sentenced to a life behind bars together, the friends
628
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:56.960
left a trail of devastation in their wake. But were
629
00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:02.719
these heenous crimes? Their destiny was twisted team born to kill.
630
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:06.880
I don't know if they were actually born this way.
631
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.679
The thinking that these individuals have is so deviant, and
632
00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:12.960
so they don't share it with anybody. They keep it
633
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:16.440
totally to themselves. But in this particular case, for one
634
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:19.119
reason or another, these were good friends, and one of
635
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:21.599
them told the other one what they had been thinking,
636
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:25.719
and it sort of provided some support or relief and
637
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:31.400
bonding actually between the two of them.
638
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:36.559
Duffy was an inadequate kind of person, immature, and I
639
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:41.960
do think that he needed somebody to affirm what he
640
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:44.760
wanted to do to people before he would actually act out.
641
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:48.320
I think the question, famil is, what would have happened
642
00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:51.599
if Duffy Mulcaky hadn't met. The French have a term
643
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:55.559
for it, the folio to the furnishership too. I think
644
00:42:55.599 --> 00:42:59.119
once they'd met, once it started on their offending, they
645
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:00.760
were always going to end drom.
646
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:08.400
Their personalities coming together released an evil energy, a wickedness
647
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:12.119
that was clearly within both of them. It seems that
648
00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:15.239
they nurtured each other's nature. Whether they were born to
649
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:19.119
kill or not, they certainly became serial killers together.
