Serial axe murderer Patrick Mackay 'furious' after parole hearing pushed back until March

Devil's Disciple axe murderer Patrick Mackay is said to be “furious” after learning his parole bid has been put on hold.

The Nazi- obsessed serial killer, who is the UK’s longest-serving prisoner, wanted to be out for Christmas. But the Parole Board delayed his hearing, so his case will not be heard until March at the earliest.

Mackay – who went on a blood crazed rampage in the 70s and boasted he was the “Devil’s Disciple” – was jailed for life in 1975 after being convicted of three killings. He had admitted to killing eight more people but then retracted his confessions.
