I do not care.” Dan wanted to visit Tobin at his hospital deathbed and laugh at the warped serial killer before asking him: “Can you smell the sulphur yet, you sick paedophile?”Dan, 50, had been planning to drive 400 miles from his Essex home to confront the his sister’s murderer, who spent the final days of his life chained to a bed at Edinburgh’s Royal Infirmary.

But Dan’s plan to face the monster evaporated last weekend when detectives told him of Tobin’s death.Speaking exclusively to the Daily Record, Dan said he had hoped that Tobin, who had a history of feigning illness, would “go on forever”, leading a grim life in crippling pain behind bars.

He said: “When I was told Tobin was on his last legs, I was dubious because he [Tobin] had faked heart attacks and a litany of ailments over the years.“I answered the door to two plain clothes officers on Saturday morning.
