With the death of that evil monster Peter Tobin my thoughts turn to Angelika Kluk, Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol and their families at this time.

A few outlets are suggesting that the murderer had fallen and broken his hip. He had apparently also refused to take his food and medication. He had four older sisters and three older brothers and was a difficult child and in 1953, aged seven, he was sent to an approved school.

As per a spokesperson of Scotland Police department, “At 6.04am on Saturday, October 8, 2022, officers attended at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh following the death of a 76-year-old man.
“The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
According to reports, since last month, the killer was said to be unwell and almost “on death’s door.”
Investigators have revealed that they continued attempting to get Tobin to reveal more information about his victims during his last days.
The Head of Major Crime division, Det Ch Supt Laura Thomson, said in a statement that, “Our thoughts are with the victims of Peter Tobin, their families and friends.”
Earlier in January this year, Peter was also transferred to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh after his health started to deteriorate. Back in 2016, he was rushed to the hospital after he collapsed in his cell.
Coming back to his crime, Peter was nabbed by the police in 2006 when the body of 23-year-old Angelika Kluk was found under floorboards of a church in Glasgow.
Peter’s arrest led to the discovery of the remaining 2 more teenage girls who were killed in 1991.
His first victim was 15-year-old Vicky Hamilton, who disappeared in February 1991. At the time she was traveling out to Falkirk.
The second victim was an 18-year-old, Dinah McNicol, who disappeared in August 1991. She reportedly went missing after hitching a lift from Tobin after a music festival.
Both the girls’ remains were found in the backyard of Tobin’s former home in Margate.
The family of victim, Vicky Hamilton has come forward as they shared a statement on social media. The family of Vicky said they would not be celebrating the murderer’s death.
“We remember Vicky, we remember her laughter, her smile and we want to keep that memory after all the years of having no idea what had happened to her, followed by the heartbreak of losing our mum not long after Vicky went missing.”
