Was Angus Sinclair Scotland's luckiest serial killer? | Scotland Tonight

Angus Robertson Sinclair was a predator, paedophile, rapist and serial killer who spent the last 37 years of his life in prison, dying alone behind bars at the age of 73.
With this weekend marking the first anniversary of Sinclair’s death, STV News highlights fresh concerns and disturbing questions about his depraved reign of terror.
“The police effectively gave Angus Robertson Sinclair a licence to kill. He was Scotland’s luckiest serial killer" says former detective Peter MacLeod, who claims that two men were wrongly convicted of murders Sinclair actually committed.
Macleod alleges that such perverse good fortune allowed Sinclair to remain free to kill and even emboldened his bloodlust.
Sinclair was convicted of four killings but Macleod, who served with Strathclyde Police for 30 years, believes his true death toll could be 14, most of them women.
In 2001, while working in the force intelligence bureau, he wrote a memo linking Sinclair for the first time to Anna Kenny, 20, Hilda McAuley, 36, and Agnes Cooney, 23, who were all murdered in 1977.

Insignificant little creature.

My brother was in the worlds end the night those poor girls, left with those animals, He wished he could go back in time and tell them not to go with them, and then take those animals down to Haddington, and batter them to death.

[@didimagnin3744]

That is tragic for your brother. I'm sure that you have told him that it's not his fault - no normal person could have imagined such horror.

Completly inept Justice 😡 the cops should be in prison 😡

Porqué teniendo el informe psiquiátrico lo dejaron libre? Quiero respuestas. Son más enfermos quienes liberaron.

[@graemecampbell8104]

This evil thing definitely killed more than he was caught for imo

[@didimagnin3744]

This is extremely interesting as I've just watched this case on another channel, George Beattie was NOT mentioned! Sinclair was estimated to be of below average intelligence and would contnue his crimes, according to the psychiatrist. The other channel left out the fact that George Beattie was convicted for a murder that he did not commit 😞This is MORE than shameful! His life was ruined!

[@jeanettehinds4253]

Dead men tell no tales, so I bet he thought he would never be caught. He was a fiend and the world is a safer place for us all now he's in hell.

Questions of course should be answered but that won't happen since Tam Young and Gus Sinclair have both passed. I met with them both daily in High Security, both were friendly and never never aggressive. Having said that I would not trust these people....distance was vital.

And all those who helped him proof that woman arent being loved and appreciated he was evil

[@frigate100]

Could he have been Bible John?

[@joycebruhn1346]

He was that evil

[@nutyyyy]

More likely that it was Peter Tobin but could have been either or neither of them. Definitely the two killed more than they were convicted of.

[@AnonyMous-zy4wu]

Why are they pronouncing it 'Sincler'?

[@martinmcbride858]

It is the normal pronunciation in Scotland derived from the French name Saint Clare
