Serial Killer: Angus Sinclair - Documentary

Angus Robertson Sinclair was a predator, paedophile, rapist and serial killer who spent the last 37 years of his life in prison. That he died alone behind bars at the age of 73 gives little comfort to broken families whose loved ones’ lives were cruelly cut short. 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 most serious of these are posed by former detective Peter Macleod, who claims that two men were wrongly convicted of murders Sinclair actually committed. In a Scotland Tonight special report to be broadcast at 7.30pm on Thursday, Macleod alleges that such perverse good fortune allowed Sinclair to remain free to kill and even emboldened his bloodlust. Macleod said: “The police effectively gave Angus Robertson Sinclair a licence to kill. He was Scotland’s luckiest serial killer.” 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. At the time, Sinclair was serving a life sentence, imposed in 1982, for child rape. He was due to stand trial – and found guilty – of the 1978 murder of 17-year-old Mary Gallacher. He had previously been jailed in 1961 for the rape and murder of seven-year-old Catherine Reehill.
