Chinahand Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 It looks likely that Peter Tobin is under investigation for multiple murders. The murder he was convicted of in Glasgow was a nasty sordid affair with the young girl much abused by various older men, but it now looks like the police are interested in Mr Tobin helping them with their inquiries into other crimes going back many years. Makes you think - most of the time I experience a society where people are known and cared for - but occassionally there are hints of another world - a world of transients, abuse and people going missing only remembered in the occassional laments of a mother given momentary press coverage or in the orgy of tabloid revelation when remains and arrests are made. It looks like Tobin lived in such a world as he tramped around the UK doing his handyman jobs. Nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ans Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 The actor that plays the serial killer in Saw is called Tobin? I know it was the first thing I thought of when I read it. However, if this really is Bible John, it's about time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ean Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2870923.ece I can't imagine how her parents must be feeling, for 16 years they haven't known what happened to their daughter and now in the space of 6 months they have found all the horrible details. Some painful memories must have been dredged up for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Googled "Bible John" (including the inverted commas) and 2nd from bottom is an article from The Times which shows a staggering similarty between a police drawing of the killer known as Bible John and Peter Tobin - who moved from Glasgow just after the last of the murders in this case. It would be quite staggering if the two were linked, bringing together such well known crimes over such a long period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
