Britain's forgotten serial killer Patrick Mackay has been told he can make a bid for freedom within weeks.
Mackay, 69, dubbed the “Devil’s Disciple” after he was convicted of butchering three people and confessed to killing eight more, has been granted a parole hearing that could take place in September.
If successful Mackay – the UK’s longest-serving prisoner after 47 years inside – could be on the streets before Christmas.
