He had been serving his sentence at HMP Edinburgh and had been making regular trips to Edinburgh's Western General Hospital according to insiders who told The Sun he was “at death’s door” for months.
He takes with him to the grave a litany of dark secrets including the names and whereabouts of other victims he is thought to have killed, as his criminal record spanned burglary, forgery and rape.
He came to notoriety in 2007 when he was convicted of beating, raping and stabbing 23-year-old Polish student Angelika Kluk, to death, Mirror UK reports.
Tobin used many aliases to cover his tracks and had been working as a ‘handyman’ at St Patrick’s Church in Glasgow’s Anderston under the fake name Pat McLaughlin when he killed the student the year before.
The case opened the floodgates on his dark past and in 2008 he was hauled back to court for the murder of 15-year-old Bathgate school girl Vicky Hamilton. Vicky had disappeared from a bus stop in 1991.
Her remains were discovered as officers combed Tobin’s former home in Margate, Kent, along with the body of a third victim, Dinah McNicol.
Dinah, 18, had been missing since 1991 when she hitched a lift with Tobin after leaving a music festival in Hampshire.
Tobin was given two more life sentences but always refused to cooperate with cops probing other crimes linked to him.
