Body in garden identified

[seb1]

Body identified this case has appeared on news here regularly since she went mssing , at last her family has closure

yeah, saw it on ceefax, was quite shocked that it was vikki hamilton, but also glad in a way as, like you say her family now finally have some sort of closure

I read in the paper that this man is suspected of killing 16???

I just heard this. I did wonder if it could have been her this morning when the police said the remains were not of Dinah McNichol. Peter Tobin was charged in connection with her disappearance a few months ago - evil, evil man. Vicky's mother died not long after she disappeared, poor soul.

There was a programme on recently about her - 'Unsolved' or something like that - it was a series about unsolved murders and disappearances in Scotland. I still remember when she went missing, it wasn't too far from where I live.

Like the West case again. Why was he arrested in July if remains only identified today? Have been avoiding radio news lately as little ears are listening a bit too closely.

He wasn't arrested in July, he is already in jail for murdering a girl in Glasgow in 2006 not sure how they charged him in connection with this earlier this year

my god was it really vikki, my dh used to go around with her when she was younger!!!!

It's always frustrating when we are clearly not being told the whole story. Why did they suddenly take interest in this particular house? Why did they think it was Dinah McNichol? Etc. Etc. Obviously some information has come to light from somewhere but we may never know.

They were interviewing a former resident of the house on television last night and he was saying how his children used to play in the garden over where the remains were lying. He also mentioned that his children had had invisible friends in the garden - rather spooky in retrospect.

This is going to sound so wrong, but I'm so relieved for her family. It must be the worst sort of hell to lose a child like that and never, ever be sure what happened. An endless torture.

It said he was arrested in the link.

Tobin was questioned in relation to Vicky hamilton in July, as he used to stay close to where she lived. I believe the house he used to live in in that area was searched then too. I think it was discovered that he used to live in or visit the house where Vickys body has now been found.

I have a feeling that, in time, many unsolved murders/missing persons will be traced to this awful man.
