Watch how detectives solved the Peter Tobin murders. The show reveals key evidence and details of the victims’ disappearances.
Peter Tobin murdered three women, including Dinah McNicol. A TV show, The Hunt For Peter Tobin, details Tobin’s crimes in two parts.
Tobin also killed Vicky Hamilton and Angelika Kluk. Many suspect Tobin hurt more victims. Dinah McNicol, eighteen, vanished in August 1991 and was never seen again.
Vicky Hamilton, a schoolgirl in Falkirk, died earlier that year. These murders went unsolved for sixteen years. In 2007, Tobin was tried for Angelika Kluk’s murder.
Police searching Tobin’s old house in Margate found Dinah and Vicky’s bodies. He killed Dinah in 1991 after offering her a ride from a music fest.
Instead of taking her to Brentwood, he tied her up and buried her in his Margate garden. Tobin appealed his sentence in 2010 but later dropped it.
The show discusses Vicky and Dinah’s cases. They vanished months apart in 1991. Fifteen years later, DNA linked Tobin to Angelika’s murder in Glasgow.
Detective David Swindle led “Operation Anagram,” investigating Tobin’s past. In 1991, they found a link to Tobin. He received a life sentence.
Tobin remained in prison until his death at seventy-six in a hospital in 2022. He had fallen in his jail cell a month earlier.
He had undiagnosed cancer for years and refused medical tests. He also had pneumonia when he died.
