Tobin Found Guilty Of Schoolgirl Murder
Peter Tobin has been convicted of the murder of schoolgirl Vicky Hamilton who disappeared more than 17 years ago.
Tobin, 62, was found guilty at the High Court in Dundee of abducting, sexually abusing and killing the 15-year-old, before cutting up her body and burying it in his garden.
The teenage girl's remains were discovered in bin bags in Tobin's former home in Margate, Kent in November last year.
A jury found the 62-year-old guilty of murdering Vicky, from Redding near Falkirk, following a month-long trial in Dundee.
During the trial the court heard Tobin had taken Vicky to the home in Bathgate's Robertson Avenue, and there he drugged, raped and murdered the 15-year-old before bisecting her body.
Tobin is already serving a life sentence for the rape and murder of Polish student Angelika Kluk, and hiding her body in a Glasgow church in 2005.
