Convicted killer Peter Tobin has been found guilty of murdering 18-year-old Dinah McNicol.

Tobin, who is already serving a life sentence for the murder of Vicky Hamilton, denied the charge.

Dinah vanished on her way home from a music festival in 1991.

Her body - and that of 15-year-old Vicky - were found buried in the garden of his former house in Margate in November 2007.

A jury at Chelmsford Crown Court took just 15 minutes to find him guilty on Wednesday after a three-day trial.

Tobin, 63, from Johnstone, Renfrewshire was convicted last year of Vicky Hamilton's murder. She had disappeared from a bus stop at Bathgate, near Edinburgh in 1991.
