Detectives pleaded with Peter Tobin on his deathbed to give up secrets

Serial killer Peter Tobin refused to give up any secrets before he died, even as detectives questioned him on his deathbed.

Tobin died in hospital yesterday aged 76, after it was reported he was 'chained to his hospital bed' and refusing food and medication, too unwell to return to his cell at HMP Edinburgh, where he was serving a life sentence for three murders.

But detectives have long suspected that the killer had more victims and hoped he would give up his secrets before he died. It is understood that detectives spoke to Tobin in his final days in hospital in a bid to get him to admit to any other crimes.
