Serial killer Peter Tobin died riddled with a plethora of diseases including cancer, vascular disease and a lung infection.
Documents obtained by the Scottish Sun, since reported by Edinburgh Live, reveal that the killer was likely in agonising pain before he died in October 2022 at the age of 76. One of Tobin's victims told the paper that his only regret was that Tobin, who was officially convicted of murdering three women, did not suffer for longer.
Tobin was moved from his cell at HMP Edinburgh, also known as Saughton prison, to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for surgery a month before he ultimately died. Reports at the time noted that the cause of death was "unascertained (pending investigations)".
