Builder guilty of three sex murders
London builder David Mulcahy is facing life behind bars after being convicted at the Old Bailey of raping and killing three women.
He was also found guilty of twelve sex attacks on women aged from 16 to 32 in the 1980s.
Mulcahy was found guilty of all charges - three murders, seven rapes and five charges of conspiracy to rape - and will be sentenced later.
"We have listened to the most dreadful accounts of what happened to those women - particularly the murders," said the Recorder of London Judge Michael Hyam.
Mulcahy and childhood friend John Duffy formed a "unique but wicked bond" to rape and kill. Duffy - known as the Railway Rapist - was caught and jailed for life in 1988.
Mulcahy, 41, escaped justice and continued to live an apparently normal life with his wife and children in north London.
But the ties were finally broken when Duffy named Mulcahy as the unidentified second man who had taken part in a series of rapes and murders of terrified women.
Mulcahy, a builder, of Chalk Farm, north London, had denied raping and murdering three women during 1985 and 1986.
Alison Day, 19, was strangled at Hackney Wick, east London, on December 29 1985. Schoolgirl Maartje Tamboezer, 15, was also strangled near her home in Horsley, Surrey, on April 17, 1986.
Anne Lock, 29, was killed - probably suffocated - as she returned home to Brookmans Park, Hertfordshire.
