Mr Swindle spoke out a decade after Polish student Angelika, 23, was raped and murdered by Tobin at a church in Glasgow.

He said: “There are definitely other people Tobin has killed and only he knows who they are.

“Tobin was a sadistic killer who was determined to take lives and conceal them for his pleasure.

“Ten years on from the murder of Angelika Kluk, it's a poignant time for the families."

The former Strathclyde Police officer added: "You should never give up, that was my attitude. Push, push, push and get the truth. I still think of Tobin a lot, particularly at this time of year.

"You should never forget the victims and you should never forget the evil killers who hold the key to the victims.

"I live in hope that some day we will get the truth about what Tobin has done."

While he described Tobin as "an evil, sadistic killer" he appealed to him directly: "I would like to think that some day you will have the humanity and respect to admit everything you have done."
