The dad of one of Peter Tobin's murder victims Vicky Hamilton has revealed that he is no longer convinced his daughter's killer is also Bible John.
As also reported by the Scottish Sun, 71-year-old Michael Hamilton has said how his views have been changed after discussing the possibilities of Tobin hiding his other identity with retired top policeman David Swindle.

Michael has also said that he believes the anonymous 1960's serial killer is now "probably dead".
Retired officer David had investigated links between the mysterious Scottish killer and fiend Tobin, now 75, who murdered 15-year-old Vicky back in 1991.
Falkirk-born Michael said: "David phoned to ask my opinion. I had the same view as him — Tobin definitely isn’t Bible John. But I believe Tobin was killing for a long time.
“Plenty of murders haven’t been solved yet — and I believe Tobin had to do with a lot of them.”
Mr Swindle was in charge of looking into evil Tobin's former life after he was finally sentenced for sexually assaulting and killing Polish student Angelika Kluk, 23, at a church in Glasgow in 2006.
This investigation helped bring to light that Tobin was also guilty of murdering Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol, 18, of Tillingham, Essex, in 1991.
The police then turned their attention on pinning the murders of Patricia Docker, 25, Jemima McDonald, 32, and Helen Puttock, 29, in 1968 and 1969, who were all killed by the same man, dubbed 'Bible John'.
However, ex-cop Swindle could not connect Tobin with these deaths.
There has also been a report of a new artist's impression that depicts how the infamous Bible John may look now.
Michael added: “Bible John is probably dead and has taken his secrets to the grave with him.
“That’s the end of that story, basically.”
Tobin is still imprisoned at Edinburgh's Saughton cells, and is currently suffering from cancer.
