Serial Killer Documentary - Peter Tobin (UK's Worst Serial Killer) · The Evolution of Evil - True Crime Stories

0:01
Speaker 1: Peter Tobin has been convicted of his third murder and
0:05
Speaker 1: is now officially a serial killer, but the police and
0:09
Speaker 1: people who knew him well suspect he may have killed
0:12
Speaker 1: many times before. So how many victims were there and
0:15
Speaker 1: could he be Britain's worst serial killer. The disappearance of
0:42
Speaker 1: eighteen year old Dynamit Nickel in August nineteen ninety one
0:46
Speaker 1: baffled police for sixteen years. It was a mystery that
0:50
Speaker 1: was only solved when her remains were found buried in
0:53
Speaker 1: the garden of a margate house that once belonged to
0:56
Speaker 1: the convicted murderer, Peter Tobin. With Tobin behind bars, Diner's
1:02
Speaker 1: family can perhaps find peace, but she may never have
1:05
Speaker 1: been found had it not been for another of Tobin's crime,
1:10
Speaker 1: The murder of Angelika Kluck, was so callous and so
1:13
Speaker 1: brutal it shocked the country. As police investigated Angelika's murder
1:19
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six, they quickly realized that it
1:22
Speaker 1: wasn't carried out by a first time murderer.
1:25
Speaker 2: The cool calculated we the Huim India and covered up
1:30
Speaker 2: the tracks, indicated toos that Torbin has committed something similar
1:35
Speaker 2: in the past.
1:37
Speaker 1: The police knew that if they were going to discover
1:39
Speaker 1: how many other murders Tobin had committed, then they would
1:42
Speaker 1: have to analyze every aspect of his mysterious past. So
1:46
Speaker 1: they set up a unique secret investigation team called Operation Anagram.
1:51
Speaker 2: Basically, what we're doing is we are looking at a
1:54
Speaker 2: leaf of Peter Torbin for breaking it down or they
1:57
Speaker 2: shacting it.
1:57
Speaker 3: We're looking at.
1:58
Speaker 2: Wheelisbin within look at an event or a machine Pierson.
2:03
Speaker 2: This is in their center. This is where the inforammation
2:07
Speaker 2: the life of Peter Trugnis Hill.
2:09
Speaker 1: Operation Anagram involves every police force in the UK linking
2:17
Speaker 1: his nomadic life with unsolved crimes. Could Anagram reveal him
2:22
Speaker 1: to be Britain's worst serial killer. It all started for
2:30
Speaker 1: police at this church in Glasgow on September twenty fourth,
2:34
Speaker 1: two thousand and six. For many, a church is a
2:39
Speaker 1: place of peace and tranquility. It certainly was for Angelika Kluk,
2:46
Speaker 1: the young Polish student was living and working in Saint
2:49
Speaker 1: Patrick's over her summer holidays. No doubt, in such surroundings
2:54
Speaker 1: she felt safe. No one could touch her inside the church,
2:58
Speaker 1: no one with any conscience, but a sixty year old
3:02
Speaker 1: man going by the false name of Pat mcgloughlin was
3:05
Speaker 1: different and his depravity was to shock even the toughest.
3:10
Speaker 2: It's one of the most horrific models I have ever
3:12
Speaker 2: seen in my thirty two years and the police it
3:15
Speaker 2: was horrendous and I couldn't visualize how someone could have
3:19
Speaker 2: committed such an act against such an innocent, attractive young female.
3:23
Speaker 4: It's definitely one of the worst cases I've dealt with,
3:26
Speaker 4: one of the most brutal.
3:29
Speaker 1: In two thousand and six, Peter Tobin was going by
3:32
Speaker 1: the name of Pat McLoughlin. Using this alias, he became
3:35
Speaker 1: a trusted member of Saint Patrick's Church. He started by
3:40
Speaker 1: helping a charity, Loaves and Fishes. They used the church
3:44
Speaker 1: to feed the homeless.
3:45
Speaker 5: I meet at Pat mcgloughlin. He came one night and
3:50
Speaker 5: it was thunder and lightning, extremely bad wheer. He was
3:54
Speaker 5: an ant to carry things then, very quiet person. He
3:58
Speaker 5: was very helpful. No reason why some upday bleeb.
4:03
Speaker 6: Any otherwise, serial killers are usually those people who blend
4:11
Speaker 6: in to our society, are able to ingratiate themselves to
4:15
Speaker 6: be Quintessentially the nice man who lives next door or
4:19
Speaker 6: who takes our kids to the swimming pool.
4:23
Speaker 1: McLaughlin eased his way into the job of handyman at
4:26
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's.
4:27
Speaker 7: He was trusted with everything.
4:31
Speaker 1: When Angelika Kluk started her summer job at the church,
4:34
Speaker 1: she tragically caught his eye. It wasn't long before the
4:40
Speaker 1: vulnerable young student was taken in by his charms. Then,
4:43
Speaker 1: on Sunday, September twenty fourth, two thousand and six, he
4:47
Speaker 1: took his opportunity to strike Tobin hit her with a
4:53
Speaker 1: table leg, knocking her to the ground. He then bound, gagged,
4:57
Speaker 1: raped and stabbed her. After he had finished with Angelika,
5:06
Speaker 1: he wrapped her body in plastic bags, took her from
5:09
Speaker 1: the murder scene in the garage, and slid her into
5:11
Speaker 1: a small void under the church floor. He then went
5:15
Speaker 1: back to his business preparing for the Loaves and Fishes
5:18
Speaker 1: Sunday supper.
5:21
Speaker 5: No body, that young girl was underneath.
5:26
Speaker 7: And he was there.
5:30
Speaker 5: He didn't disappear.
5:31
Speaker 3: He was there.
5:33
Speaker 8: He was with us.
5:34
Speaker 1: The next day, Angelika was reported missing to Strathclyde Police.
5:40
Speaker 1: They searched the church and its grounds. They interviewed a
5:43
Speaker 1: calm and controlled McLachlin, who had spent the day erecting
5:47
Speaker 1: a shed in the church grounds. Even though traces of
5:50
Speaker 1: Angelika's blood were spattered on the shed.
5:53
Speaker 5: I am happening on Monday night. He is okay, neither
5:57
Speaker 5: up nor down, just he has always been. When I'd
6:01
Speaker 5: dropped him of, he mentioned what a police are coming.
6:06
Speaker 5: I realized she's disappeared and that was that was that
6:12
Speaker 5: was that. There wasne here, there's name, there was nothing.
6:19
Speaker 1: By Tuesday, Angelica still hadn't been found and McLaughlin didn't
6:23
Speaker 1: turn up at the church. Strathclyde police launched a nationwide
6:27
Speaker 1: media appeal with the help of Dennis crab I gave.
6:31
Speaker 3: Him a photograph two weeks old away nation Wade at six.
6:36
Speaker 9: O'clock at night, please looking for a missing Polish student.
6:40
Speaker 9: Have released a photo of the man who was the
6:42
Speaker 9: last person to see her before her disappearance, Pat McLoughlin,
6:46
Speaker 9: who's in his late fifties or twenty three year old
6:49
Speaker 9: Angelica Kluk.
6:50
Speaker 1: On Sunday, the publicity worked. A young woman recognized the
6:55
Speaker 1: face but not the name.
6:58
Speaker 10: I mean this picture, comuptain, I was, that's not Pat mcglochrm,
7:03
Speaker 10: that's Peter Toubin and iur waited until the rest of
7:07
Speaker 10: program is all I just went straight to the phone,
7:10
Speaker 10: phoned Mill Street PlayStation and formed on the that the
7:15
Speaker 10: name is wrong. The face is right, but the name
7:17
Speaker 10: is wrong.
7:18
Speaker 2: He left the church and he went to Edinburgh, and
7:23
Speaker 2: then he traveled down south and checked into a hospital
7:25
Speaker 2: in London in a false name.
7:28
Speaker 7: He had signed himself in as James Kelly.
7:31
Speaker 2: One of the nursing staff recognized the person that had
7:34
Speaker 2: looked in on a false name recognized him as the
7:37
Speaker 2: Peter Tobin that was wanted for interviewing relation to the
7:40
Speaker 2: mother of Angelika Kluk.
7:43
Speaker 1: At nine pm on the Friday, Angelica's body had finally
7:47
Speaker 1: been discovered by police, hidden in the small void underneath
7:50
Speaker 1: the floor.
7:51
Speaker 7: Of the church.
7:52
Speaker 4: I could see our legs the lower part of her body,
7:55
Speaker 4: and I could see her hands, and her hands were
7:58
Speaker 4: very clearly bloodstained, and there was a lot of blood
8:01
Speaker 4: in her hands. And also our trousers were unfastened. So
8:04
Speaker 4: these two things made me want to go down into
8:08
Speaker 4: the hatch and not move the body. My feeling very
8:11
Speaker 4: strongly was that we had to examine the body and
8:13
Speaker 4: sit you. It was a brutal murder and there's no
8:16
Speaker 4: getting away from that. It was horrible to see, and
8:19
Speaker 4: she'd been stabbed several times. That was apparent from the examination.
8:22
Speaker 4: She'd been bound and she'd been gagged, and the scene
8:25
Speaker 4: on the pants also just confirmed that the sexual intercourse
8:29
Speaker 4: had occurred close to the time of death. By the
8:32
Speaker 4: Monday morning we had a day profile from the semen
8:35
Speaker 4: on the swabs take from Angelica's body and these were
8:38
Speaker 4: loaded onto the national database and we received notification that
8:42
Speaker 4: morning that they matched against a mail called Peter Tobin.
8:46
Speaker 1: Taubin was brought back to Glasgow for questioning, but he
8:50
Speaker 1: denied everything. If the police were to discover anything about him,
8:54
Speaker 1: they would have to do it themselves.
8:56
Speaker 6: The difficulty about dealing with somebody like Peter Tauburin is
9:00
Speaker 6: he's an interant, a geographically mobile serial offender. In other words,
9:05
Speaker 6: he crosses from one police force boundary area into another.
9:09
Speaker 2: To date, in the whole of his life, we have
9:12
Speaker 2: established it probably has used as manage forty different elyses,
9:15
Speaker 2: and that's combinations of his own names, other people's names,
9:19
Speaker 2: people he knew. This individual had access to excess of
9:24
Speaker 2: thirty mobile phones within a year with a two thousand
9:27
Speaker 2: and five two thousand and six.
9:29
Speaker 3: This was an individual that had something.
9:31
Speaker 1: To hide to find out how many vicious crimes he
9:35
Speaker 1: was hiding. Operation Anagram began its investigation by going back
9:39
Speaker 1: to the very start of Tobin's long dark life. They
9:43
Speaker 1: soon discovered he was born on the twenty seventh of
9:46
Speaker 1: August nineteen forty six and spent his early years in
9:49
Speaker 1: Johnston and Renfrew. He was sent to approved school and
9:53
Speaker 1: before the age of twenty, had been to Borstal and
9:55
Speaker 1: Young Offenders' institutions for petty crime and forgery.
10:00
Speaker 6: We've got some clues in relation to his how he's
10:03
Speaker 6: going to develop as an adult. He has a very
10:05
Speaker 6: poor relationship with his parents, He moves around constantly. He's
10:10
Speaker 6: supposedly an approved school from the age of seven. This
10:13
Speaker 6: creates in the making a very very difficult anti social personality.
10:20
Speaker 1: Operation Anagram started to build a profile of Tobin. They
10:24
Speaker 1: had discovered through their investigations that he was a loner
10:27
Speaker 1: but also a charmer, especially of vulnerable young women. What
10:30
Speaker 1: Anagram needed to do was to find out exactly when
10:33
Speaker 1: he began to use his charm to lure victims and
10:37
Speaker 1: satisfy his murderous instincts. In two thousand and six, the
10:45
Speaker 1: Secret Investigation team dedicated to examining the life of convicted
10:49
Speaker 1: murderer Peter Tobin began looking at his early years. Operation
10:54
Speaker 1: Anagram soon discovered that by the age of twenty Tobin
10:57
Speaker 1: had survived spells in some of Scotland's toughest prisons.
11:03
Speaker 7: But by nineteen sixty eight he.
11:04
Speaker 1: Was out of prison and living in a flat in
11:06
Speaker 1: the Shettleston area of Glasgow. He was a good dresser
11:11
Speaker 1: and enjoyed going out in the city's dance halls. In
11:14
Speaker 1: one of them, he asked an attractive seventeen year old
11:17
Speaker 1: called Margaret for a dance.
11:19
Speaker 11: He came across as a very smart, are very knowledgeable,
11:25
Speaker 11: quite handsome guy. I don't think anybody would have turned
11:29
Speaker 11: him down as a dance partner. So yes, I was
11:33
Speaker 11: quite delighted when he came across so many's pearl asked
11:35
Speaker 11: myself and my pearl to have a dance. Used to
11:42
Speaker 11: pick me up of a Saturday night. I used to
11:44
Speaker 11: have me home a day do on half past ten
11:48
Speaker 11: when my parents would ask me to be home.
11:50
Speaker 1: Then when the Operation Anagram detectives interviewed Margaret, they learned
11:55
Speaker 1: that for the first few months she and Tobin's relationship
11:58
Speaker 1: was a good one go out dancing and enjoy rides
12:01
Speaker 1: in his car. But behind closed doors, he quietly sapped
12:06
Speaker 1: her confidence and broke down her self esteem until one day,
12:10
Speaker 1: back at his flat, he decided to show his other
12:13
Speaker 1: darker side.
12:15
Speaker 11: He asked me for I would like to stay over,
12:17
Speaker 11: and I said, well, not this time, I need to
12:20
Speaker 11: ask my mom. So I went toward the door and
12:24
Speaker 11: he just slammed the door and said, no, you're not
12:27
Speaker 11: going out.
12:29
Speaker 7: Tobin had switched.
12:30
Speaker 1: He turned his flat into Margaret's prison and was her jailer.
12:35
Speaker 1: She wasn't allowed any friends. He wouldn't let us see
12:37
Speaker 1: her parents. He kept her locked up to satisfy his
12:40
Speaker 1: depraved demands.
12:42
Speaker 11: He wanted sex. I didn't feel in the mood for sex,
12:48
Speaker 11: so he just said, you're knife and having sex and
12:53
Speaker 11: pushed me on the bed and he just took out
12:55
Speaker 11: the slated knife and just put it right and said
12:58
Speaker 11: me and twisted it around after he had tented this X.
13:04
Speaker 1: As far as Operation Anagram's investigation of Tobin goes, this
13:08
Speaker 1: attack in nineteen sixty nine is the first sign of
13:11
Speaker 1: his brutality. He had left Margaret to bleed to death.
13:15
Speaker 1: Her life was saved by a neighbor who found her
13:18
Speaker 1: and called an ambulance. The vicious assault left Margaret in
13:23
Speaker 1: a coma for three weeks. While she was fighting for
13:25
Speaker 1: her life, Tobin had told everyone a pack of lies.
13:29
Speaker 11: Because of what happened on the bed with a knife,
13:32
Speaker 11: I couldn't have children and an absolute total chicksaw inside.
13:39
Speaker 1: Not only had Tobin taken away Margaret's chance of having children,
13:43
Speaker 1: he had completely destroyed her psychologically. She was discharged from
13:47
Speaker 1: hospital back into the hands of Tobin, too frightened to
13:51
Speaker 1: tell people that he had raped and attempted to murder her.
13:55
Speaker 1: Her nightmare continued as Tobin took her to live in Brighton,
13:58
Speaker 1: hundreds of miles away from friends and family. When Tobin
14:02
Speaker 1: told the seventeen year old they were getting married, she
14:04
Speaker 1: felt there was no way.
14:06
Speaker 11: Out, but eventually got a flat in Brighton and every
14:12
Speaker 11: time he would go, who would lock me in a room.
14:15
Speaker 1: Margaret and Tobin stayed in Brighton until he was yet
14:18
Speaker 1: again arrested for petty theft. They were taken back to
14:22
Speaker 1: Glasgow for questioning and spent the night in the cells.
14:26
Speaker 11: And eventually it was my mother that came and took
14:28
Speaker 11: me out. That was the first time I'd seen my
14:30
Speaker 11: mother just under a year. I'm sure I got away.
14:34
Speaker 1: From Margaret spent the next three years completely traumatized. In
14:39
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one, she divorced Tobin and hoped he was
14:42
Speaker 1: out of her life forever. After two more stince in prison,
14:49
Speaker 1: Tobin was on the prowl again in Brighton. In nineteen
14:53
Speaker 1: seventy three, he married a nurse in the town. They
14:56
Speaker 1: had two young children, one of whom died soon after birth,
15:00
Speaker 1: and the violent, abusive marriage lasted just three years. By
15:04
Speaker 1: the age of thirty, Tobin had two failed marriages and
15:08
Speaker 1: a string of ex girlfriends.
15:10
Speaker 6: He needs multiple partners because he's ultimately going to have
15:14
Speaker 6: a parasitic lifestyle. He's going to live off those partners. However,
15:19
Speaker 6: he has to attract those people. He has to seduce them.
15:22
Speaker 6: He can't bludgeon them into a relationship.
15:25
Speaker 1: Working for a living never really appeal to Tobin. His
15:28
Speaker 1: stock in trade was petty crime and forgery, as well
15:32
Speaker 1: as targeting vulnerable young women.
15:34
Speaker 7: One was Kathy.
15:35
Speaker 1: Wilson, who was brought up by her grandparents and in
15:38
Speaker 1: foster homes. When she met Tobin, she was just sixteen
15:43
Speaker 1: and lived alone.
15:44
Speaker 12: He was quite charming and quite funny, and just seemed
15:49
Speaker 12: like a generally nice bloke. We were getting on quite
15:51
Speaker 12: well and had started seeing each other, and he said,
15:54
Speaker 12: wouldn't you move in?
15:57
Speaker 1: Kathy took up his offer in September nineteen eighty six
16:01
Speaker 1: and moved into his Brighton flat. Operation Anagram talked to
16:05
Speaker 1: Kathy about their relationship, and they soon discovered that although
16:08
Speaker 1: he had now turned forty, his appetite for cruelty showed
16:12
Speaker 1: no sign of mellowing with age.
16:16
Speaker 12: I don't know how he does it, but he knows.
16:18
Speaker 12: He must have something written on my head, and all
16:20
Speaker 12: these other women that he has hurt must have it
16:25
Speaker 12: as well. He must see something that other people don't see.
16:28
Speaker 12: Even though I appear very strong, confident now, I'm there's
16:32
Speaker 12: like a little child inside, you know, looking for someone
16:35
Speaker 12: to look.
16:35
Speaker 13: After them and care for them.
16:37
Speaker 12: And that's what he provides. That's what he provides, and
16:42
Speaker 12: he knows it. And how he finds them, I don't know,
16:44
Speaker 12: but he knows it.
16:46
Speaker 1: After just a few months, Kathy was totally controlled by Tobin.
16:50
Speaker 1: Even before she gave birth to their son, Daniel in
16:53
Speaker 1: December nineteen eighty seven, he had started to hit her
16:58
Speaker 1: soon after Daniel's birth, they got married. At the time,
17:03
Speaker 1: they were living in one small rented flat after another,
17:07
Speaker 1: and Tobin was out of work. Almost a year after
17:12
Speaker 1: getting married, he conned Kathy into moving up to Bathgate
17:16
Speaker 1: in Scotland with the promise of a better life in
17:19
Speaker 1: a three bedroomed house with a garden for their son
17:21
Speaker 1: to play in. But as soon as they arrived there
17:23
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight, his attacks became more frequent, a vicious.
17:28
Speaker 1: They were now a daily feature of their life together.
17:31
Speaker 12: From my point of view, I've gone through some atrocities
17:33
Speaker 12: when I was a child. That actually someone's throwing up
17:36
Speaker 12: against a warm from the hammerund your neck and calling
17:38
Speaker 12: you horrible names, isn't that bad? Bizarrely, it's not so
17:45
Speaker 12: a part with things that you wouldn't really part with
17:47
Speaker 12: and justify them. You know, he say he's tired, or
17:54
Speaker 12: you know he's had a bad day or something. He
17:56
Speaker 12: just a fin awful lot of things when it's not
17:58
Speaker 12: as awful other people might pursue it to be. I
18:01
Speaker 12: really think I was just a possession, and I think
18:04
Speaker 12: the anger from him was that the possession was not
18:07
Speaker 12: conforming the way it's meant to conform. That's all it was.
18:10
Speaker 12: I don't think there was any lover at all. He
18:12
Speaker 12: probably loved his son.
18:13
Speaker 1: I think, just as before with his previous wives, Tobin's
18:18
Speaker 1: mental cruelty and physical violence were intended to break Kathy,
18:22
Speaker 1: but she had seen it all before and wanted a
18:24
Speaker 1: different life for her son.
18:27
Speaker 12: I'd said to him that I was gonna leave and
18:30
Speaker 12: we would get divorced. And he then said to me
18:34
Speaker 12: that if I was to leave him in any shape
18:36
Speaker 12: or form, he'd kill firstly my son and make me
18:39
Speaker 12: watch him do it, secondly me and then afterward himself.
18:44
Speaker 12: And from that minute onwards for the following three months
18:47
Speaker 12: he did not let me out of his sight for
18:49
Speaker 12: a minute.
18:50
Speaker 1: One day in nineteen ninety, Tobin left the house. Kathy
18:53
Speaker 1: finally escaped, with Daniel taking him first to Glasgow and
18:57
Speaker 1: then on to Portsmouth.
18:58
Speaker 12: You can imagine what's sitting in the station. Two and
19:00
Speaker 12: aundred hours. Was like absolutely finding because I knew that
19:02
Speaker 12: I would absolutely not be a liar for family there.
19:05
Speaker 12: But thankful I got on a coach that was good,
19:07
Speaker 12: so I arrived in Fortunate at six thirty in the
19:08
Speaker 12: morning at my grandparents house. That was the first time
19:14
Speaker 12: I've been back there since. Obviously, I'd left when I
19:15
Speaker 12: was sixteen.
19:16
Speaker 1: Kathy didn't know her dad when she was growing up,
19:19
Speaker 1: and despite Tobin's cruelty to her, she didn't want this
19:22
Speaker 1: for Daniel. Tobin doted on his son. He wanted to
19:26
Speaker 1: see him, but even for him, an eight hour commute
19:30
Speaker 1: from Bathgate to Portsmouth was too much, so in May
19:33
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one he moved to the now infamous house
19:36
Speaker 1: in Margate. He only stayed a few months before he
19:41
Speaker 1: took a flat in Haven't, just a couple of miles
19:43
Speaker 1: from where Daniel lived. Tobin never raised a hand to Daniel,
19:50
Speaker 1: so Cathy felt their son would be safe with his father.
19:54
Speaker 1: Tobin used this to gain regular access to his son,
19:57
Speaker 1: and Daniel often stayed overnight. It gave Tobin the perfect
20:01
Speaker 1: excuse to have young women round to babysit. His normal
20:08
Speaker 1: routine was to leave the babysitters with Daniel and then
20:12
Speaker 1: go out for the night, but on the evening of
20:14
Speaker 1: August fourth, nineteen ninety three, Tobin carefully planned a vicious
20:18
Speaker 1: trap for two young girls. He tried to turn on
20:22
Speaker 1: the charm to seduce the two teenagers. When this failed,
20:25
Speaker 1: he plied them with alcohol, and finally he drugged them.
20:30
Speaker 1: As it started to take effect, he began his horrendous assault.
20:40
Speaker 7: In the middle of the night.
20:41
Speaker 1: Tobin telephoned Kathy to come to collect Daniel, telling her
20:45
Speaker 1: that he was feeling seriously unwell with heart trouble. When
20:48
Speaker 1: she arrived, Tobin was coming out of the door with Daniel.
20:54
Speaker 12: So I took Daniel from him at front door, and
20:57
Speaker 12: I said, do you want me to wait for the
20:58
Speaker 12: ambulance to arrive. Yeah, you're okay, So no, I don't
21:01
Speaker 12: feel quite so bad now, but still take him because
21:03
Speaker 12: I think I will go and be checked to have
21:05
Speaker 12: a check out. And I put my son in the
21:07
Speaker 12: car and we came home, went to.
21:08
Speaker 7: Bed with Daniel.
21:11
Speaker 1: Finally out of the way, Tobin toyed with the girls.
21:14
Speaker 1: He threatened them with a knife, and as the drink
21:17
Speaker 1: and drugs overwhelmed the girls they could no longer defend themselves.
21:21
Speaker 7: He brutally raped and sodomized them.
21:24
Speaker 1: Then, as they lay unconscious, he turned on the gas
21:28
Speaker 1: taps and left them for dead.
21:30
Speaker 6: I have no doubt that he expected those two girls
21:34
Speaker 6: to die, and the fact that they didn't was an accident.
21:37
Speaker 12: The next morning, I took us on to school, went
21:40
Speaker 12: to work and then had a phone c hop Us
21:42
Speaker 12: nine from the police and they said you would mutiate
21:45
Speaker 12: your son out of school and we need you to
21:46
Speaker 12: come to the police station now, c yes and bring
21:49
Speaker 12: some on with you. That's what I did and arrived
21:52
Speaker 12: at Plice station and he told me what trusts had
21:54
Speaker 12: gone on the night before in the flat.
21:56
Speaker 1: It was the first time in fact, five year old
21:59
Speaker 1: Daniel had been witnessed a part of the brutal attacks
22:02
Speaker 1: of the previous night.
22:04
Speaker 12: At one point where Peter had stabbed one of the
22:06
Speaker 12: girls and there was blood, he asked Enod going get
22:09
Speaker 12: ice from the freezer and bring it through to him
22:11
Speaker 12: and put it onto their girl.
22:20
Speaker 1: Tobin left Portsmouth and hit for several weeks, some of
22:24
Speaker 1: them with a religious sect.
22:27
Speaker 14: So far, police have no positive leads in their search
22:30
Speaker 14: for mister Tobin. They're keeping a check on addresses in
22:33
Speaker 14: the mid Lothian area of Scotland where he used to live.
22:36
Speaker 14: Yesterday they took the unusual step of naming mister Tobin
22:39
Speaker 14: as the man they want a question in connection with
22:42
Speaker 14: the alleged attacks.
22:44
Speaker 1: The constantly mobile Tobin had been hiding in Coventry, but
22:47
Speaker 1: returned to the South Coast, where he was eventually captured
22:51
Speaker 1: when his blue Austin metro car was found in Brighton.
22:55
Speaker 1: After a plea bargain, he pleaded guilty to the charge
22:58
Speaker 1: of rape.
23:00
Speaker 7: Did murder charge was dropped.
23:06
Speaker 1: At the trial in Winchester Crown Court on the eighteenth
23:09
Speaker 1: of May nineteen ninety four, Tobin was sentenced to fourteen years.
23:13
Speaker 7: The trial judge was Sir Ronald Waterhouse.
23:17
Speaker 15: It was I think the worst case of its kind
23:19
Speaker 15: that I had during the eighteen years, I said, as
23:22
Speaker 15: the judge. The age of the victims, the fact that
23:26
Speaker 15: they were drugged and given alcohol, and then there was
23:30
Speaker 15: the evidence that he'd played with them in effect a
23:34
Speaker 15: sort of cat and mouth game and threatened them with
23:38
Speaker 15: a knife.
23:42
Speaker 1: For the next ten years, the public would be safe.
23:45
Speaker 1: But in two thousand and four Tobin was released. Now
23:48
Speaker 1: a registered sex offender, he had to tell the police
23:51
Speaker 1: where he was. Had the longest of his many spells
23:55
Speaker 1: in prison worked. Had Tobin finally learnt his lesson? Was
23:59
Speaker 1: he simply aut to carry on as he had left off,
24:02
Speaker 1: targeting young, vulnerable women to satisfy his psychopathic mind.
24:07
Speaker 7: In two thousand and four.
24:09
Speaker 1: Peter Tobin was fifty eight years old. He had been
24:11
Speaker 1: released from prison and had nowhere else to go. He
24:14
Speaker 1: was divorced from his wife Kathy. His family wanted nothing
24:18
Speaker 1: more to do with him, and his sister was telling
24:20
Speaker 1: people he was dead. Tobin returned to where he grew up, Paisley.
24:26
Speaker 1: There he met another young vulnerable woman.
24:29
Speaker 10: Wendy seen him. It looked quite amy, and he told
24:34
Speaker 10: me that he had a back to like a bad heart,
24:37
Speaker 10: and he was heading Jane and that is will And
24:40
Speaker 10: he ended up going up to the horse walk and
24:42
Speaker 10: I felt kind of sorry for him because he had
24:45
Speaker 10: no money else.
24:46
Speaker 3: The relationship came.
24:47
Speaker 10: I picked up from there other gwenty has hose as
24:51
Speaker 10: we flew or he would come upstairs in persant me.
24:54
Speaker 1: Tobin attempted to lure Debbie into his circle, just as
24:58
Speaker 1: he had done many times before with other young women.
25:01
Speaker 1: But thankfully the authorities heard about the friendship and warn
25:04
Speaker 1: Debbie about Tobin. They told her he was a rapist.
25:08
Speaker 1: She couldn't believe it and confronted him, and he said that.
25:15
Speaker 10: It was so untrue and it was going to seek
25:17
Speaker 10: legal advice for that malicious gossip going about and it
25:22
Speaker 10: wasn't happy when I says two, and I believed them
25:26
Speaker 10: when they came back to me again what Peter has
25:29
Speaker 10: been in the jail for it.
25:30
Speaker 6: I've interviewed people who can't believe that Harold Shipman are
25:34
Speaker 6: Britain's most prolific serial killer. Was just that they think
25:38
Speaker 6: of him still as their most trusted GP. And I've
25:42
Speaker 6: got no doubt that there will be some people who
25:45
Speaker 6: will react to Peter Tobin the fact that Peter Tobin
25:48
Speaker 6: is a serial killer by saying, but this is the
25:50
Speaker 6: guy who lived next door to me, this is the
25:52
Speaker 6: guy that I used to trust.
25:54
Speaker 10: I just thought I got in one monster, but I
25:59
Speaker 10: couldn't turn no, say I got in a monster. I
26:02
Speaker 10: got in on Peter Tobin, But I never knew anthing
26:05
Speaker 10: about his dark side, because as far as Anna, there
26:08
Speaker 10: was no dark side to him.
26:10
Speaker 1: Toubin and Debbie's friendship cold. He found himself a new
26:13
Speaker 1: flat wear in two thousand and five, he began to
26:16
Speaker 1: groom another young woman.
26:18
Speaker 16: Then I seen Peter Tobin round about the town and
26:21
Speaker 16: I speak to him all the time. He asked me
26:23
Speaker 16: to go for a pint, went there and I went
26:25
Speaker 16: for a pint and I was continually talk to him,
26:29
Speaker 16: and then one day he says he wacumund my flat
26:31
Speaker 16: for a coffee. I went around and it's a sort
26:34
Speaker 16: of day because the football results were on.
26:37
Speaker 17: And then.
26:38
Speaker 16: I was up till eve and he jumped at my
26:41
Speaker 16: throat with a knife and told me how I don't.
26:44
Speaker 1: Cheryl McLaughlin had been in the army and was brought
26:47
Speaker 1: up with eight boys. She was used to fighting her corner.
26:50
Speaker 16: I managed to get the knife our phone, and then
26:54
Speaker 16: I caught my whole home and then I rideda try
26:57
Speaker 16: and go and the keys fell out and a thundering
26:59
Speaker 16: new chase me to know again with it. So I
27:02
Speaker 16: managed to shout and scream, get knife, don't get knife.
27:04
Speaker 16: Don they through it in the kitchen sink and then
27:08
Speaker 16: and of room killing his Tina Tina heart attack.
27:11
Speaker 7: He tries to turn the tables.
27:13
Speaker 6: Rather than us give our sympathy to the woman he's
27:17
Speaker 6: attempted to rape, Tobin wants sympathy for himself. He finds
27:21
Speaker 6: a heart attack. This is merely just another example of
27:24
Speaker 6: his psychopathic personality.
27:27
Speaker 16: But I was freaking out at his time, and I'm
27:29
Speaker 16: showing it. And then he's kidding with Tina heart attack,
27:32
Speaker 16: seeing he was kidding one. I see we don't kill
27:34
Speaker 16: them again, Cam done? Won't the door and get about
27:36
Speaker 16: a fresh air and then he is in a boat
27:40
Speaker 16: ran Forrest Gump, and.
27:45
Speaker 1: So did Toby. Cheryl was taken to hospital. The authorities were.
27:49
Speaker 16: Informed, and then if police came to a statement, and
27:55
Speaker 16: then I get told they kicked his door. And the
27:57
Speaker 16: next day and they had gone.
28:00
Speaker 1: Operation Anagram, the police unit devoted to uncovering Tobin's criminal past,
28:05
Speaker 1: has since attempted to piece together Tobin's movements as he
28:09
Speaker 1: evaded the police after the attack in two thousand and five.
28:13
Speaker 1: They know that over the next few months he stayed
28:15
Speaker 1: in a number of hostels. Seven months after the attack
28:21
Speaker 1: on Sheryl, Tobin was now calling himself Pat McLachlin and
28:24
Speaker 1: began working as a handyman in Saint Patrick's Church, the
28:29
Speaker 1: place which was the scene of the murder that at
28:31
Speaker 1: long last brought him to the nation's attention, and where
28:35
Speaker 1: Operation Anagram would begin their difficult investigation. It was here
28:40
Speaker 1: that he murdered and raped Angelika Kluk, hiding her dead
28:43
Speaker 1: body underneath the church floor. Tobin claimed he was innocent
28:47
Speaker 1: when he was arrested and charged with murder. It was
28:50
Speaker 1: going to need strong forensic evidence to get a conviction. Fortunately,
28:55
Speaker 1: he was still wearing some of the same.
28:57
Speaker 4: Clothes on his watch to be phoned make scorpic traces
29:00
Speaker 4: of blood I associated with a strap and the grooves
29:04
Speaker 4: and crevisys in the strap and that blood march to
29:08
Speaker 4: the proofal of Angelika Kluk. Also, he had on a
29:11
Speaker 4: white T shirt which was staying at the front and
29:14
Speaker 4: that was his semen and a lot of sales matching
29:18
Speaker 4: Angelika Kluk.
29:21
Speaker 1: According to Tobin's police record, it was only in nineteen
29:25
Speaker 1: ninety three that he was first convicted of a violent
29:28
Speaker 1: sexual crime. This left huge gaps in Tobin's life, years
29:32
Speaker 1: in which Tobin may have literally got away with murder
29:36
Speaker 1: after murder across the UK, Operation Anagram now had to
29:40
Speaker 1: look at missing persons cases which could be linked to
29:44
Speaker 1: his movements. It wouldn't be long before they would link
29:48
Speaker 1: Tobin with one of Scotland's most famous and longest running
29:52
Speaker 1: missing persons cases. In February nineteen ninety one, a bright,
29:59
Speaker 1: vivacious teenager from Falkirk disappeared.
30:02
Speaker 7: On her way home from her sister's house.
30:04
Speaker 1: In Livingstone, Vicky Hamilton had to change buses in Bathgate
30:08
Speaker 1: to get home to her mother's. She was last seen
30:11
Speaker 1: in the town eating fish and chips and waiting for
30:13
Speaker 1: a bus home. Vicky's disappearance triggered Scotland's biggest ever search
30:20
Speaker 1: for a missing person. Lothian and Border's Police interviewed nearly
30:24
Speaker 1: seven thousand people and took over three thousand statements. A
30:29
Speaker 1: massive search in and around Bathgate, involving hundreds of people.
30:33
Speaker 7: Revealed nothing. Vicky's mum recorded an emotional plea.
30:38
Speaker 11: Please get in conclapped, let the police know that she's sief.
30:42
Speaker 11: That's all I wanted, just to what she's sieve.
30:45
Speaker 1: It wasn't until nearly seventeen years later that the mystery
30:49
Speaker 1: surrounding Vicky's disappearance started to unfold. As the police built
30:54
Speaker 1: their case against Tobin for the murder of Angelika Kluk,
30:58
Speaker 1: Operation Anagram made a sh shocking discovery that Tobin and
31:02
Speaker 1: Vicki could have been in the same town on the
31:04
Speaker 1: same night.
31:05
Speaker 2: One of the officers went total inquiry and established that
31:08
Speaker 2: Peter Tobin, who's aided and robertson Avenue and Basket, which
31:12
Speaker 2: was close to where Vicky Hamilton was once seen.
31:16
Speaker 8: And to have someone of that character living in your
31:19
Speaker 8: area as obviously worthy or full of an investigation.
31:23
Speaker 7: A forensic search of the house revealed a knife hidden
31:27
Speaker 7: in the loft.
31:29
Speaker 13: Discovered underneathe was a piece of material which was thought
31:32
Speaker 13: to be skinned and yielded a DNA profile which matched
31:36
Speaker 13: perfectly in the profile of Vicky Hamilton.
31:39
Speaker 1: Lothian and Borders police knew Vicki had been in Tobin's
31:43
Speaker 1: house and that he had probably murdered her, but they
31:45
Speaker 1: didn't have a body already in custody for the murder
31:49
Speaker 1: of Angelica. Tobin was then charged with Vicki's abduction. There
31:53
Speaker 1: was not enough evidence for a murder charge. What they
31:56
Speaker 1: needed was a confession.
31:58
Speaker 3: We seemed to have been controls thing.
32:00
Speaker 13: However, he declained to speak about Vicky Hamilton, other than
32:05
Speaker 13: to deny any knowledge offer.
32:10
Speaker 3: As I say.
32:15
Speaker 1: While the police in Scotland had been following up the
32:17
Speaker 1: leads in the Vicky Hamilton case from the operation Anagram,
32:21
Speaker 1: Essex Police Force, four hundred miles away had been trying
32:24
Speaker 1: to find.
32:24
Speaker 7: Another missing girl.
32:29
Speaker 1: Six months after Vicky had disappeared in nineteen ninety one,
32:33
Speaker 1: eighteen year old Dyna mcnickel went missing. Dinah had just
32:37
Speaker 1: finished her A levels. To celebrate, she'd gone to a
32:40
Speaker 1: music festival in Hampshire. She was last seen by a
32:46
Speaker 1: friend she had met at the festival as they went
32:48
Speaker 1: their separate ways after hitchhiking up to the twenty five.
32:55
Speaker 1: Another nationwide search was launched. Where was Dyna mcnickel. There
33:00
Speaker 1: were only a few clues. Her friend had seen her
33:02
Speaker 1: drive off with a man he thought had a Scottish accent.
33:09
Speaker 1: The following January, the police searched common land near the
33:12
Speaker 1: festival site.
33:14
Speaker 14: With Dinah missing for more than five months, police fear
33:17
Speaker 14: she's either dead or has been persuaded to join a
33:20
Speaker 14: religious sect and has been held against her will.
33:24
Speaker 1: Dinah's father, Ian McNichol, had joined the search in the
33:28
Speaker 1: hope that it would bring an end to the nightmare.
33:31
Speaker 3: Not no, it's terrible. It's been crucifying.
33:35
Speaker 1: It was fourteen years before a breakthrough came when Operation
33:40
Speaker 1: Anagram provided Essex Police with a brand new lead.
33:46
Speaker 8: This was still a who'd done it for us, so
33:48
Speaker 8: Tobin whilst on the radar. It wasn't until we really
33:51
Speaker 8: analyzed a lot of the data that Strathguarde in particular,
33:54
Speaker 8: had then he really came out the scar and became
33:57
Speaker 8: somebody of primary interest to us investigating Diner's disappearance.
34:03
Speaker 1: He rose even higher on that scale when Essex Police
34:06
Speaker 1: studied the use of Diner's credit card in several towns
34:09
Speaker 1: along the South coast.
34:11
Speaker 8: We were able to show that Tobin had links to
34:14
Speaker 8: areas very close to each of these cash machines, either
34:17
Speaker 8: friends or previous residents or places of work. So that
34:21
Speaker 8: was all part of the formula that led us down
34:23
Speaker 8: to market in the first place.
34:24
Speaker 13: Really.
34:25
Speaker 1: Essex Police then interviewed Tobin's neighbors in Margate.
34:29
Speaker 18: I saw him dig in a deep hole and I
34:33
Speaker 18: leaned over the fence, which was a lot shorter at
34:35
Speaker 18: that time, and I said, are you going for Australia,
34:39
Speaker 18: Pete because it seemed quite big, and he told me
34:42
Speaker 18: he was big and being in a sandpits for the
34:45
Speaker 18: little of the weekends.
34:48
Speaker 3: Lead a Tobin.
34:50
Speaker 8: We now know, with somebody who was profiled as somebody
34:54
Speaker 8: who could well have committed this tough defense, we could
34:57
Speaker 8: show through the analytical work that he probably had opportunity.
35:01
Speaker 8: And I think what we knew if imagine in a clock.
35:03
Speaker 8: Investigation was that he had a preuensity to bury bodies.
35:09
Speaker 1: With this knowledge, the police managed to persuade a magistrate
35:12
Speaker 1: to issue a search warrant for fifty Irvin Drive, Margate.
35:16
Speaker 7: It was going to be a deep forensic search.
35:20
Speaker 1: Essex Police brought in specialist X ray equipment from London
35:24
Speaker 1: to see what lay beneath the surface. Forensic archaeologists conducted
35:28
Speaker 1: the excavations.
35:29
Speaker 18: So he knocked on the door said they'll be doing
35:32
Speaker 18: a little bit of digging in the garden and where
35:35
Speaker 18: the sand pit was was where they found a grave.
35:39
Speaker 8: The body and the person effects have been identified as
35:42
Speaker 8: Vicky Hamilton, who went missing in February nineteen ninety one
35:46
Speaker 8: from Bathgate in Scotland.
35:49
Speaker 1: It was a massive shock for Essex Police. They had
35:52
Speaker 1: only been looking for Diner's body. They certainly never thought
35:55
Speaker 1: that Tobin would have driven a dismembered corpse nearly five
35:58
Speaker 1: hundred miles to bury Vicki in his back guard. Vicki's
36:07
Speaker 1: body had been cut in two. Tobin then carefully wrapped
36:11
Speaker 1: it in plastic. This helped to preserve some evidence, so
36:14
Speaker 1: when the autopsy was carried out, they found that Vicki
36:16
Speaker 1: had been drugged and then strangled.
36:21
Speaker 17: The injuries on her chest suggested blandforce had been applied
36:26
Speaker 17: over the seria, as would happen, for example, if somebody
36:30
Speaker 17: is kneeing on the body while the process of throttling
36:35
Speaker 17: strangulation is taking place.
36:38
Speaker 1: Vicky had gone missing just seven weeks before Tobin had
36:41
Speaker 1: moved the four hundred and ninety two miles from Bathgate
36:45
Speaker 1: to Margate. The discovery of Vicky's body convinced Essex's police
36:51
Speaker 1: they were looking in the right place.
36:54
Speaker 8: It was quite late in the search that we found
36:56
Speaker 8: one in terms of the back guard. That one of
36:58
Speaker 8: the last parts we got to been a significant discovery.
37:01
Speaker 8: Within the last couple of hours here at fifty of
37:04
Speaker 8: being drive, there has been another body discovered.
37:09
Speaker 1: The body was quickly confirmed as Diners, which had been
37:12
Speaker 1: wrapped in a number of plastic bags. The sixteen year
37:15
Speaker 1: search had finally come to an end, but police then
37:19
Speaker 1: had to sift through the evidence as they prepared to
37:21
Speaker 1: charge Tubin.
37:22
Speaker 8: The pathology was that there was no natural cause of death,
37:27
Speaker 8: but there was no unnatural cause established. That was partly
37:30
Speaker 8: because she had been buried for sixteen years. There was
37:34
Speaker 8: a large quantity of bags that diner had been placed
37:37
Speaker 8: in some of the order of I think it was
37:40
Speaker 8: around twenty bags all. On some of the inner bags
37:43
Speaker 8: we found Toby's fingerprints. We found within our bodied levels
37:47
Speaker 8: of a drug that we know was prescribed to Peter
37:50
Speaker 8: Tobin at the time. Amitriptolne and this on somebody doesn't
37:55
Speaker 8: need it and have to fine effects. So clearly I
37:57
Speaker 8: think that is relevant to the mechanism of Dona's death.
38:01
Speaker 7: At least.
38:04
Speaker 10: Their how find remains and I can speak for the
38:09
Speaker 10: whole family that we can know put at res and
38:13
Speaker 10: grieve in our long time.
38:16
Speaker 1: Tobin was already serving a twenty one year sentence in
38:19
Speaker 1: Scotland's notorious peter Head Prison for the murder of Angelika
38:23
Speaker 1: Kluk After their search of his former home in Bathgate.
38:27
Speaker 1: Lothian and Border's Police had charged Tobin with Vicki's abduction.
38:31
Speaker 1: The discovery of her body saw the charge changed to murder.
38:36
Speaker 1: Peter Tobin stood trial for Vicky's murder at Dundee High
38:39
Speaker 1: Court on the third of November two thousand and eight.
38:42
Speaker 1: After twenty one days, A fifteen person jury took less
38:46
Speaker 1: than two and a half hours to find him guilty.
38:53
Speaker 1: Nearly Thirty weeks later, he stood trial again, this time
38:56
Speaker 1: at Chelmsford Crown Court in Essex for the murder of
39:00
Speaker 1: Dyna McNicol. He had held her captive, drugged her, then
39:04
Speaker 1: murdered and buried her in his gun.
39:09
Speaker 2: This guy is a moderer, is a convicted murderer. He
39:12
Speaker 2: is a killer and he has killed some young innocent women.
39:17
Speaker 2: The indications that we have cool calculated, homicidal, fidal killer.
39:26
Speaker 1: Join us after the break when we examine other murders
39:29
Speaker 1: that could have been carried out by Peter Tobin, and
39:31
Speaker 1: we asked the question is he Britain's worst serial killer?
39:38
Speaker 1: The specialist investigation unit Operation Anagram was set up in
39:42
Speaker 1: two thousand and six to examine the life of convicted
39:45
Speaker 1: murderer Peter Tobin.
39:47
Speaker 7: Over the following two years.
39:48
Speaker 1: Anna Graham played an important part in bringing Tobin to
39:52
Speaker 1: justice again, firstly for the murder of Vicky Hamilton, who
39:55
Speaker 1: Tobin brutally killed in nineteen ninety one, and then for
39:59
Speaker 1: the murder of student Dynamic Nikolf, who he murdered only
40:02
Speaker 1: a few months after Vicki. But few believe that Vicky
40:07
Speaker 1: Hamilton was Tobin's first victim. The way he cut up
40:11
Speaker 1: and disposed of the schoolgirl's body indicated a terrifying degree
40:15
Speaker 1: of murderous expertise.
40:19
Speaker 17: There's membering a body, even with butchering skills on animals,
40:23
Speaker 17: is no easy task to.
40:27
Speaker 3: Do it so slickly.
40:30
Speaker 17: He's either got lucky first time round, which is not likely,
40:35
Speaker 17: or he may have had some experience of doing it previously.
40:39
Speaker 6: When Vicky Hamilton is murdered, Peter Tobin is in his forties.
40:44
Speaker 6: In my experience as somebody who's worked a great deal
40:47
Speaker 6: with serial offenders, nobody starts killing in their early forties.
40:52
Speaker 6: By that stage, they've been killing for a long period
40:55
Speaker 6: of time.
40:56
Speaker 1: With the hunt for Vicky and Dinah finally over, Opera
41:00
Speaker 1: Anagram has now decided to go public with its existence.
41:06
Speaker 2: Basically, what we're doing is we are looking at a
41:08
Speaker 2: life of Peter Tobin since nineteen fifty five. We're taking
41:12
Speaker 2: Tobyn's life, We're breaking it down, we're dissecting it.
41:15
Speaker 3: We're looking at where he's been.
41:17
Speaker 2: We then look at an event or something that's happened
41:20
Speaker 2: in that area, for example, a crime or a missing person.
41:24
Speaker 2: This is in their center. This is where the information
41:27
Speaker 2: the life of Peter Tobin is held. This is the
41:32
Speaker 2: main part of it, but in every other linked police
41:35
Speaker 2: force there's similar teams working and there are some significant gaps.
41:41
Speaker 3: But hopefully your program will fill these gaps.
41:46
Speaker 1: Taubin's movements, his use of aliases, his skills as a
41:50
Speaker 1: forger may have kept him out of jail for violent
41:53
Speaker 1: crimes for decades.
41:55
Speaker 4: Now.
41:55
Speaker 7: Operation Anagram needs to fill in the holes.
42:00
Speaker 2: Significant gaps that we would hope the public can help
42:02
Speaker 2: us with. So it's addresses and then that is shared.
42:05
Speaker 2: We are police forces that he was in a particular
42:07
Speaker 2: area at the time someone went missing. They live in
42:10
Speaker 2: a particular address which is a time event, and that
42:13
Speaker 2: is shared. We are police forces in any link into that.
42:16
Speaker 2: It's a massive investigation. Tens of thousands of people have
42:20
Speaker 2: been interviewed through the UK, but every day we're getting
42:23
Speaker 2: more information which comes forward that takes us to other
42:26
Speaker 2: areas we didn't know he was residing.
42:29
Speaker 1: The investigation has already recovered a disturbingly large selection of
42:33
Speaker 1: jewelry that was found in Tuburn's possession. It is all
42:37
Speaker 1: being forensically examined in the hope that the original owners
42:40
Speaker 1: can be traced.
42:42
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that we find out who else has been
42:46
Speaker 2: a victim of Peter Tobin's and maybe bring closure for some.
42:49
Speaker 8: Families, saying the relief allbit tragical life that is given
42:55
Speaker 8: am Nika and his family to be able to locate
42:57
Speaker 8: it diner if there's a chance we can bring them
43:00
Speaker 8: that sime tragic related to other families and it's something
43:02
Speaker 8: that the Place Server should be known.
43:05
Speaker 7: It is now a question of.
43:06
Speaker 1: Just how many young women Peter Tobin has murdered and
43:09
Speaker 1: crucially when did he start killing.
43:12
Speaker 6: I think Peter Tobin has been murdering for decades. I
43:17
Speaker 6: think Peter Tobin is a very very dangerous man who
43:22
Speaker 6: could be one of our most prolific serial killers.
43:29
Speaker 1: In the late sixties, three women were killed in Glasgow.
43:32
Speaker 1: They became known as the Bible John murders. The story
43:36
Speaker 1: gripped the nation.
43:38
Speaker 7: The first victim was.
43:39
Speaker 1: Patricia Docker, who had been dancing at the Barrowlands Ballroom.
43:43
Speaker 1: She left with a stranger and the next morning her
43:46
Speaker 1: body was discovered in a Glasgow lane.
43:49
Speaker 13: When I arrived at this Lucas actually the body of
43:53
Speaker 13: a young woman was lying facing this way and defeat
43:58
Speaker 13: or to the wall, and she was actually completely naked.
44:01
Speaker 13: There was one shoe lying near to their feet, and
44:04
Speaker 13: there was also a sanitary tool lying beside her.
44:08
Speaker 1: Over the next eighteen months, another two women were murdered,
44:11
Speaker 1: Jemima MacDonald and Helen Pattock. All three were menstruating at
44:17
Speaker 1: the time Tobin was living in Glasgow with Margaret.
44:21
Speaker 11: When you have to have your periods every month, that
44:25
Speaker 11: even gave him more of a kick, and it didn't
44:27
Speaker 11: stop him from having any sex. In fact, it even
44:30
Speaker 11: made it better for him. And I must point out
44:33
Speaker 11: at this time I was not able to buy any
44:35
Speaker 11: protection for this, for the period or anything else.
44:40
Speaker 6: The Bible John murders quite clearly had a signature in
44:43
Speaker 6: relation to sanitary towels to tampons, but as time moved on,
44:48
Speaker 6: the other signatures related to Bible John have been lost.
44:54
Speaker 1: The last of the supposed Bible John murders took place
44:57
Speaker 1: on October the thirtieth, nineteen sixty nine, the year Tobin
45:01
Speaker 1: took Margaret to Brighton and married her. Although there were
45:04
Speaker 1: only the three murders, the search for Bible John continues.
45:10
Speaker 6: Quite simply, I think that Peter Tobin is Bible John,
45:14
Speaker 6: and therefore I think his first murder for a variety
45:17
Speaker 6: of reasons is the murder of Pat Docker in nineteen
45:20
Speaker 6: sixty eight in Glasgow.
45:22
Speaker 3: He's killed in the nineteen sixties.
45:23
Speaker 6: In my view, he's killed in the seventies, the eighties
45:26
Speaker 6: and the nineties, and we know he's killed in the millennium.
45:30
Speaker 6: So Peter Tobin has probably been killing for longer than
45:33
Speaker 6: any other British serial killer. Tobin himself claimed in prison
45:38
Speaker 6: that he had murdered forty eight victims.
45:42
Speaker 1: The truth is only Peter Tobin knows how many women
45:45
Speaker 1: he's killed, and only Peter Tobin can decide whether to
45:49
Speaker 1: admit his crimes to the world. As a rule, serial
45:52
Speaker 1: killers don't like to discuss their murders, so it maybe
45:55
Speaker 1: Tobin takes his secrets to the grave, and whether he
45:59
Speaker 1: is Britain's worst serial killer may never be.
46:02
Speaker 13: Now.
46:03
Speaker 2: I can't understand how a person like Peter Tobin, who
46:07
Speaker 2: will be sitting in his prison sale tonight maybe watching
46:11
Speaker 2: this program and watching what has been reported. He's a father,
46:15
Speaker 2: he has children of his own. How can he do
46:18
Speaker 2: that to other people's children?
46:21
Speaker 3: Horrific?
46:22
Speaker 2: A man that has no conscience, a man is a
46:25
Speaker 2: serial killer and one that cares about no one about himself.
46:28
Speaker 1: If you have any information on Peter Toubin, please contact
46:32
Speaker 1: your local police station
