Detectives pleaded with Peter Tobin in the last few hours of his life to confess to any other murders. Officers made several visits to his hospital bedside to get the twisted serial killer to reveal his secrets.
But Tobin, 76, serving a whole life term for the murders of Angelika Kluk, Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol, refused to speak and died yesterday morning at 6.04am. Police made the last-ditch attempt with Tobin, linked to at least seven other murders or missing women cases, after we used an image of him chained to a bed in hospital as families begged him for answers.
Nicola Stork, whose teenage sister Louise Kay vanished from Eastbourne in 1988 and is believed to be another of Tobin’s victims, said she was grateful that the police had tried to get answers.
