Serial sex killer Peter Tobin was convicted of a third murder this afternoon as it emerged that he could have claimed 20 victims as he preyed on young women for over forty years.

Tobin, 62, was found guilty of drugging and strangling 18-year-old Dinah McNicol for which he received a third life sentence.

He picked up the student as she hitchhiked to her Essex home from a pop festival in August 1991.

The Scottish-born drifter had already been convicted of murdering Vicky Hamilton, 15, whose body was buried alongside Dinah 18 years ago in the killer’s garden in Margate.

Tobin’s third known murder victim was Angelika Kluk who he stabbed in 2006 and hid her, still alive, under the floorboards of a church in Glasgow.

The jury at Chelmsford crown court took just 15 minutes to convict Tobin today. He had pleaded not guilty but refused to offer any defence in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Tobin had also been convicted of drugging and raping one 14-year-old babysitter and sexually assaulting another in 1993.

He received 14 years imprisonment for the sex attacks in which he used the same drug, amitriptyline, as he was to later use on Vicky and Dinah.

Tobin will spend the rest of his life in prison and will join less that two dozen other murderers who will never be released.
