Evil serial killer Peter Tobin has died in hospital. The notorious murderer, who had cancer, was 76.
He had been serving a life sentence at HMP Edinburgh for the cruel killings of Angelika Kluk, Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol.
The monster, originally from Johnstone in Renfrewshire, Scotland, had been chained to his bed at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh after falling and breaking his hip, according to the Daily Record.

Last month, the title reported that he had been refusing food and his medication, and was described as being 'on death's door'. His death is not being treated as suspicious.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "At 6.04am on Saturday, October 8, 2022, officers attended at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh following the death of a 76-year-old man.
“The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
Before Tobin was caged in 2007 for his crimes, he served ten years behind bars after committing a double rape in 1993, following which he was released in 2004.
Until his death, he had been serving a whole life order for the three murders committed between 1991 and 2006.
In addition to the three killings of Angelika Kluk, Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol, detectives believe Tobin was responsible for the deaths of many other young women and girls.
The monster had devoted his lifetime to carrying out crimes across the country, with the remains of two missing teenagers, Vicky, 15, and Dinah, 18, found at his former home in Margate, Kent.
