Exclusive: Prime Video UK and Ireland had boarded feature documentary Confessions of a Psycho Killer.
The 90-minute feature takes viewers back to 1975, when the body of 63-year-old vicar Anthony Crean was found dead a quiet village in the English county Kent after a frenzied axe attack. A young man, Patrick Mackay, confessed to the killing and a series of follow up police interviews led to a disturbing series of confessions that spread into London.
Mackay, now aged 70, has been imprisoned in the UK since 1975 and is considered one of the country’s most deranged and prolific serial killers.
Prime Video took the doc through a deal brokered by UK distributor Abacus Media Rights. The feature comes from Woodcut Media and will launch on the streamer on February 1 in the UK and Ireland. Abacus will sell it elsewhere.
