Edinburgh prisoner Peter Tobin’s cause of death finally confirmed in new documents

New prison documents released from Edinburgh's Saughton jail have revealed that serial killer Peter Tobin died in agonising pain, with a plethora of diseases that included cancer.

It has been uncovered that the Scottish murderer was battling vascular disease and a lung infection, before he died in 2022 at the age of 76.

The father of one of Tobin's victims has said that his only regret was that the monster didn't suffer in pain for longer, as reported by the Scottish Sun.
