But she says that the killer could have made all the difference to families who will now never know what exactly happened to their loved ones
A former wife of the notorious serial killer Peter Tobin has said she is relieved at the news of his death. The murderer, rapist and paedophile died in hospital on Saturday aged 76 after becoming unwell at HMP Edinburgh, where he was serving three life sentences.
Ms Wilson, who reportedly met Tobin when she was 16 and is said to have been his third wife, told the publication her late ex-husband enjoyed having power and control, and treated her like a slave. While she said she was glad he was dead, she added: “Everyone knows there were other victims, and he could have made all the difference in the world to grieving families who still don’t know for sure what happened to their loved ones.
Former Strathclyde Police detective David Swindle, who led the investigation into Tobin, said he had no doubt the serial killer had murdered more people. Speaking to the BBC, he described Tobin as “pure evil”, adding: “This is a coward who has taken his secrets to the grave.” Tobin was serving a life sentence for raping and murdering Polish student Angelika Kluk, 23, and hiding her body under the floor of a Glasgow church in 2006. The killer was also serving life terms for the murders of 15-year-old schoolgirl Vicky Hamilton, of Redding, near Falkirk, in 1991, and 18-year-old Dinah McNicol the same year. Their bodies were found 17 years later, buried in the garden of one of his former homes, in Margate, Kent.
