Search moves inside serial killer Peter Tobin's old homes

Convicted: Peter Tobin
12 April 2012

Police were today searching inside two former homes of serial killer Peter Tobin as they widened their effort to find evidence about more of his potential victims.

Officers yesterday began a search in the gardens of the properties in Brighton after intelligence suggested important evidence might be found there.

Tobin, 63, has been convicted of murdering Dinah McNicol, 18, Vicky Hamilton, 15, and Angelika Kluk, 23. But police are convinced that he killed more people as he lived across Britain under different names and trawled the motorways for women hitch-hikers.

The latest searches are thought to be connected to the 1980 disappearance of Jessie Earl, a 22-year-old student from south-east London whose bones were found at Beachy Head in 1989, and the 1988 disappearance of Louise Kay, aged 18, who has never been found.
