The sprees began, according to his confessions, in 1953 when he pushed another Irishman in front of a train, and ended in 1983 when he strangled a homeless man in a holding cell.

Artist sketch of Kelly. Artist sketch of Kelly. IRISHMAN KIERAN PATRICK Kelly confessed to a thirty-year murder spree in London in 1983 but was only ever convicted of two murders by the English courts.

But why did Kelly, who confessed to the more than two dozen murders of those within London’s homeless population not follow the same pattern, and how did he manage to escape conviction for three decades? “He didn’t have a signature move, his methodology was varied in terms of weapons but what’s common in his killing is what is known as score-settling or rage.”

But Kelly was only ever convicted of two crimes, the murder in the holding cell and another in Clapham Commons in London. In 2015, one of the investigating detectives on Kelly’s case in 1983 opened up about the other confessions and drew new attention to the case.
