Was Angus Sinclair Scotland's luckiest serial killer? | Scotland Tonight

Angus Robertson Sinclair was a predator, paedophile, rapist and serial killer who spent the last 37 years of his life in prison, dying alone behind bars at the age of 73. 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 police effectively gave Angus Robertson Sinclair a licence to kill. He was Scotland’s luckiest serial killer" says former detective Peter MacLeod, who claims that two men were wrongly convicted of murders Sinclair actually committed. Macleod alleges that such perverse good fortune allowed Sinclair to remain free to kill and even emboldened his bloodlust. 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.
