Anne Locke

Anne Locke's murder was eventually linked to the murders of Maartje Tamboeezer and Alison Day, plus numerous rape cases committed by the Railway Murderers John Duffy and David Mulcahy.

Duffy is suspected of hiding her bicycle, enticing her into a trap that he had set in order to attack her. This was a tactic he had used in other offences.

There was insufficient forensic evidence to provide any clear link to Duffy and Mulcahy and they were not convicted of her murder. Duffy has since admitted his part in the killing.

Mulcahy however denies all involvement with any of the offences that he was convicted or accused of in relation to the Railway Murders or Rape attacks. He claims that he is innocent and is a victim of 'dodgy' evidence provided to the police by his former friend Duffy.

Friends of Mulcahy run a fairly basic web-site where he rejects the allegations made against him, provides an insight into what he believes caused Duffy to inform upon him and points out any undermining evidence that may suggest he was not involved.

His explanation for DNA evidence that links him to the crimes is however very weak. It is not expected that he will win any appeals against his convictions.
