Peter Tobin murder detective brings true crime theatre show to Kilmarnock

The detective who brought Scots serial killer Peter Tobin to justice will host a talk on murderers in Kilmarnock later this year.

David Swindle will share insights on infamous killers including Jack the Ripper, Peter Tobin, Harold Shipman, Peter Sutcliffe and ‘Killer Couples’ – Fred and Rose West and The Moors Murderers, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

With more than 34 years as a senior detective, David shares his unique insight into the minds of the murderers, the famous cases that were never solved, and how the murderer got away with it.

A show description reads: "Join Scottish detective, David Swindle, for a chilling, thrilling night at the theatre. True crime fans, and those with a curious mind, can explore the cases, the circumstances and the detective’s perspective on what really went on, the early warning signs and the clues behind The Makings of a Murderer!

"What makes a serial killer tick? What are the tell-tale signs? What really goes on behind the scenes?

"David, ground-breaking Operation Anagram uncovered the activities of Tobin, paints an often-dark picture of how these monsters come to be in this gripping, fully-interactive, audio-visual first."

David said: "Serial killers are cunning, conniving, controlling, careful and – I hate to say it – clever.”

The Makings of a Murderer takes place at the Palace Theatre on September 15, 2023.
