Inquiry Finds No Preventable Measures in Death of Serial Killer Peter Tobin

The fatal accident inquiry concluded that Tobin's death in custody was unavoidable due to his severe health conditions.

Peter Tobin, 76, died in October 2022 from undiagnosed cancer and hospital-acquired pneumonia while receiving palliative care.
The inquiry determined that Tobin's death could not have been prevented, as he was suffering from multiple serious health issues.
Tobin had refused medical tests for years, leading to the late diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer.
He was serving life sentences for the murders of three women, including Angelika Kluk, Vicky Hamilton, and Dinah McNicol.
The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service welcomed the inquiry's findings, affirming that prison and medical staff acted appropriately.
