True Crime Writer - SHOCKING DEATHBED MURDER CONFESSIONS - CrimeMagazine.com - JUNE 2014 by Siobhan Pat Mulcahy




Mark "Chopper" Read
When death stares them in the face, even cold-blooded murderers sometimes feel the need to unburden themselves before they go. Perhaps they do it so they can leave the world with a “clear conscience” or maybe they do it to benefit the people they will leave behind. Some of these deathbed murder confessions are harrowing in the extreme. Australia's most notorious killer makes four more murder confessions from his deathbed, Terminally ill Londoner confesses to strangling a man and burying him under concrete, Pillar of the community makes deathbed confession to murder so he could “cleanse his soul” then he doesn't die, Hollywood actress confesses to killing a movie director but the crime remains “unsolved” and many more. Read my feature story: "SHOCKING DEATHBED MURDER CONFESSIONS" published in CrimeMagazine.com here.

JIHAD ON TWITTER: DOES ANYBODY GIVE A DAMN? (NOVEMBER 2013) by Siobhan Pat Mulcahy

While global Jihadists spread their extremist propaganda around the globe on Twitter, British extremists are trying to do the same - laughing at Remembrance Day and British soldiers, demanding Shariah law for all British women, dreaming of when the black Muslim flag will fly over Westminster and demanding a British Jihadi revolution.

Jack the Ripper: Francis Tumblety's Irish Origins - Anglo-Celt Newspaper October 2013 by Siobhan Pat Mulcahy

It has been a mystery for decades.

Tumblety posing as a Union soldier in the 1860s
Where was prime Jack the Ripper suspect, Francis Tumblety born? The quack doctor, charlatan and liar claimed he was born "near Dublin" but he was always vague about his connection with Ireland. Over time, as other researchers tried and failed to find any evidence of him or his life in the old sod, I guessed they might be searching in the wrong place or at least the wrong city. The Irish name "Tumblety" with its many spellings originated in Ireland's border counties: Cavan, Fermanagh and Down so I began my search in that region. A letter to the Anglo-Celt newspaper asking for help solved the puzzle. More specifially, a midnight phonecall from a Cavan woman led me to write the story "Jack the Ripper - Francis Tumblety's Cavan Origins". You can read this story published in the Anglo-Celt newspaper here.

True Crime Writer - WAS ADOLF HITLER A PAEDOPHILE? - published on Yahoo! Voices, July 2013 by Siobhan Pat Mulcahy

In research following Hitler's death, a variety of claims have been made about his sexuality: that he was gay
or bisexual or even asexual - that he had only one testicle and that he was a coprohiliac. But what was the reality?
Hitler had "sexual contact" with only five women during his lifetime. All of them attempted suicide and four of them succeeded.
Also, four of the women were teenagers when they first attracted Hitler's attention.
