Sister Dig up every garden

-

The sister of Vicky Hamilton said that police should dig up the garden of every home Tobin has ever lived in.

Sharon Crozier yesterday said the loved ones of the victims of the serial killer, whose modus operandi was to bury his victims, should get the truth before it is too late.

Tobin abducted 15-year-old Vicky as she waited for a bus after visiting elder sister Sharon in Bathgate,

West Lothian, on February 10 1991.

He lured the schoolgirl to his home and drugged her with a sedative so he could carry out the sex attack.

After the murder, Tobin cut Vicky’s body in two and wrapped it in a curtain and bin bags. When he moved to Margate, Kent, the following month, he drove the body south in his van and buried it in the back garden.

Mum-of-two Sharon, 51, said: “I feel blessed that we got Vicki back. It sounds a very strange thing to say but I am. But we were lucky.

“We were able to bring her home and, no matter how terrible the details surroundin­g her death were, we got closure. We know what happened.

“These poor families who believe that Tobin killed their loved one deserve that too.

“Every single house that man has lived in over the years should be searched and the gardens dug up.”

Vicky’s mum Janette, of Falkirk, died broken-hearted two years after her daughter mysterious­ly vanished.

Sharon and her siblings, Lindsay and Lee, endured another 15 years of not knowing what happened to Vicky before her body was recovered 500 miles away at Tobin’s former home.

Sharon, from Falkirk, said: “Had Vicky been found the day or even days after the murder, my mother would still be alive. But as far our family are concerned, Tobin is responsibl­e for that too. When he dies, I won’twont give a damn.” damn.
