ANGUS SINCLAIR: THE WORST SCOTTISH SERIAL KILLER EVER

The former detective who once led the investigation into the World’s End murders believes the man responsible is the “worst serial killer in Scottish history”.

However, it is unlikely Angus Sinclair will ever by brought to justice for the other murders police think he carried out during a “prolific” period in the late 1970s.
Allan Jones, a former detective superintendent with Lothian and Borders Police, believes Sinclair is responsible for a series of killings which were looked at as part of Operation Trinity, a cold case review set up more than a decade ago following advances in DNA profiling.
The investigation looked at the World’s End murders as well others, including the killings of Anna Kenny, 20, in Glasgow in August 1977; Hilda McAulay, 36, in Glasgow in October 1977, and Agnes Cooney, 23, in Lanarkshire in December 1977.
