"We fear he may have struck before," an unidentified police source told News.ninemsn.com.au last week. "It is highly unusual for a vicious killer to commit a stranger murder in his sixties."
Investigators are also looking into the possibility that Tobin is "Bible John," an unidentified serial killer who is believed to have murdered three women in Glasgow, Scotland, in the late 1960s. Evidence in those murders is currently being re-examined for possible links to Tobin.

| Peter Tobin in custody |
Peter Tobin made his first appearance before Linlithgow Sheriff Court Thursday to face charges in Vicky Hamilton's murder. Michael Hamilton was waiting when Tobin was taken out of a police van to be led into the courthouse. The mere sight of his daughter's killer sent Michael into a rage, and he was unable to hold back his emotions, verbally attacking Tobin as police led him inside. "I hope you die, you bastard," Michael shouted as police officers physically restrained him from attacking Tobin. Afterwards, Michael broke down in tears as family members led him away.
Police say it is too early to tell if Tobin will be charged in any of the other cases.
