A former wife of the notorious serial killer Peter Tobin has said she is relieved at the news of his death. The murderer, rapist and paedophile died in hospital on Saturday aged 76 after becoming unwell at HMP Edinburgh, where he was serving three life sentences.
Detectives have long suspected Tobin had more victims, but the killer refused to admit to any more murders despite officers questioning him on his deathbed.
Cathy Wilson, 52, told the Sunday Mirror : “He was a monster and there is a feeling of relief that he is now dead.” Ms Wilson, who reportedly met Tobin when she was 16 and is said to have been his third wife, told the publication her late ex-husband enjoyed having power and control, and treated her like a slave.
While she said she was glad he was dead, she added: “Everyone knows there were other victims, and he could have made all the difference in the world to grieving families who still don’t know for sure what happened to their loved ones.”Detective Chief Superintendent Laura Thomson, head of major crime at Police Scotland, said the final attempts to encourage Tobin to “do the right thing and share any knowledge he may have which could assist the police were unsuccessful”.
