A former neighbour of serial killer Peter Tobin believes his other victims could be buried in a cabbage field. 

The woman, who lived next door to Tobin, claimed she saw him using a wheelbarrow to take waste to a cabbage farm next to his former home in Kent's Irvine Drive.

The beast passed away at 76 last month. He was serving three life sentences for the murder of 15-year-old Scots schoolgirl Vicky Hamilton, Polish student Angelika Kluk, 23, in Glasgow, and Dinah McNicol, 18, in Essex.

But he never revealed the name and whereabouts of other victims he is thought to have killed. 

The woman told The Daily Record she thought remains could be found at the site. 

She told the newspaper: "There was an alley that led from his back garden, via a gate, to empty garages. It was just a few minutes’ walk but you could see Tobin struggled with the weight of the wheelbarrow at times.

"We sometimes saw him tipping the contents of his wheelbarrow into a cabbage field but one night when a friend and I were out walking the dogs, we saw him close to the derelict garages.

“He was hunched over his wheelbarrow, meticulously tucking the tarpaulin around his load. As we neared him, the dogs started going crazy, barking and jumping towards the wheelbarrow, trying to pounce on whatever was beneath the tarpaulin.

“I thought, ‘What the hell is he doing with that wheelbarrow at this time of night?’ My friend started chatting to Tobin. She asked him, ‘What are you up to, Pete? What’s in the wheelbarrow?’ He cackled and said he was ‘getting rid of some mud’ from his garden and ‘picking up some hardcore for my pool’. I steered my friend and the dogs away. Tobin freaked me out."

Operation Anagram, which was headed by former detective David Swindle, looked at more than 1000 leads on Tobin, tracked down over 40 places where he had lived, and delved into any links they could find with unsolved murders or missing women in those areas. 

They narrowed the list to nine unsolved crimes and missing person cases that they believed involved Tobin, who was originally from Johnstone in Renfrewshire. 

But despite pleading with the psychotic killer to give closure to their families, he refused to ever speak about the cases. 

Two stood out – the deaths of Jessie Earl, in 1980, and Louise Kay, in 1988, in Eastbourne, Sussex, where Tobin had been living at the time, but there wasn’t enough evidence to charge him. 

Mr Swindle says we will never know the true extent of Tobin’s horrendous crimes.  

He previously exclusively told the Glasgow Times: “This was an individual who took pleasure in torturing and murdering vulnerable women.  

“There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s responsible for many more murders, but as I feared he would, he’s taken his secrets to the grave with him."
