	Polish Student Killing LED to Schoolgirl Link The Press and Journal December 3, 2008 http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/Article.aspx/968502?UserKey= It was Tobin’s conviction for the murder of Polish student Angelika Kluk in 2006 that led to him being linked to the disappearance of Vicky. Now, after his conviction for the brutal killing of the schoolgirl, police forces are trawling through files on hundreds of other unsolved cases for possible links. Tobin left Angelika, 23, with severe head injuries and multiple knife wounds after a sexually-motivated attack on September 24, 2006. Her body was found by police in a space beneath St Patrick’s RC Church in the Anderston area of Glasgow. It had been dumped through a hatch in the chapel floorboards next to the confessional box. Her hands had been bound and her mouth gagged with a kitchen cloth and insulating tape. Tobin had been working at the church as a handyman, and calling himself Pat McLaughlin. Detective Superintendent David Swindle, of Strathclyde Police, who was researching Tobin’s previous addresses for the case, noted he had lived at Bathgate and remembered that Vicky had gone missing there around the same time. This information was then passed to Lothian and Borders Police. Mr Swindle said: “During the investigation into the murder of Angelika Kluk, we established that Peter Tobin had used numerous aliases, was linked to around 38 mobile telephone Sim cards and had travelled extensively throughout the UK during the year prior to her murder.” He added: “Peter Tobin is known to have travelled extensively throughout the UK over the 62 years of his life and inter-force liaison is important to correlate any potential links between Tobin’s movements and outstanding missing females or victims of crime.” Some of the cases, stretching back nearly 40 years, to which Tobin has been linked, include: Patsy Morris, who disappeared in 1980. The 14-year-old’s body was discovered in undergrowth on Hounslow Heath, London, in the summer. Her father believes she could be one of Tobin’s victims. Patricia Docker, 25, killed in February 1968; Jemima McDonald, 32, strangled in August 1969 and Helen Puttock, 29, murdered in October 1969. All three victims were attributed to the killer known as Bible John, who terrorised Glasgow in the late 1960s. The women, all brunettes and all wearing black dresses, were savagely assaulted and murdered after being picked up at the Barrowlands dancehall. Their killer earned his nickname after a taxi driver, who drove the murderer with his last victim, remembered him quoting the Bible. Tobin, who had links with the church throughout his life, was living in the city around this time. He would have been in his early 20s. Schoolgirls Karen Hadaway, 10, and Nicola Fellows, nine, were found strangled in Wild Park, Brighton, in October 1986. The cases became known as the Babes in the Woods killings. Tobin lived in Brighton for 20 years from the late 1960s. Art student Jessie Earl, 22, who disappeared from a bedsit in Eastbourne, East Sussex, in May 1980. Her partially decomposed remains were found on a cliff near Beachy Head in 1989.
