About Witness of Truth: The Railway Murders
Dramatised documentary which describes the police investigation that led to the conviction of David Mulcahy for the notorious Railway Murders in the 1980s of three young women in the London area and for the rapes of many others. This investigation was based largely on the testimony of John Duffy to a psychologist in prison where he was serving life after being convicted of the same offences ten years earlier, having denied at the time of his trial that he had had an accomplice (Mulcahy). -Anonymous
Directed by Bren Simson, Witness of Truth: The Railway Murders leans on a strong ensemble — Lindsay Duncan, Steve Chaplin, Tat Whalley — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2001.
