<\/p>\nTHE second wife of evil Peter Tobin revealed she fled his twisted clutches after fearing he would kill her.<\/p>\n
Sylvia Jeffries ran away with the couple\u2019s toddler son and just two carrier bags of clothes after enduring years of violence and mental torture.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
She took her chance when the serial killer left their flat to collect his wages.<\/p>\n
Over the course of their brutal three year marriage Tobin strangled Sylvia, waved a knife in her face and left her with permanent injuries.<\/p>\n
Sylvia said: \u201cI knew I had to get away or he would have killed me. I left with nothing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was terrified Pete would come after me and for a while I felt like I was always looking over my shoulder. <\/p>\n
"But I have a new life now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Evil Tobin died in hospital at the age of 76 following a number of health complications. <\/p>\n
Last month, he was admitted to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after falling and breaking his hip and was said to be "at death's door".<\/p>\n
The brute was serving three life sentences at HMP Edinburgh for the murders of Angelika Kluk who disappeared in 2006, Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol who both disappeared in 1991.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Angelika Kluk was a 23-year-old student from Poland who met Tobin at St Patrick's Church in Anderston, Glasgow. <\/p>\n A special mass was held to reopen the church where Angelika Kluk was murdered.<\/p>\n Archbishop Mario Conti led 500 people to reopen the place of worship in August 2007 after it had been renovated.<\/p>\n The building was blessed in a service of renewal and Archbishop Conti told parishioners it was a new beginning for the parish.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cAny suffering is painful at the time but later it bears fruit in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n He was using the fake alias Pat McLaughlin when he beat, raped and stabbed her to death before hiding her body underneath the church's floorboards. <\/p>\n Vicky Hamilton disappeared while waiting for a bus in Bathgate in 1991 and Dinah McNicol disappeared after her and a male friend caught a lift with Tobin following a music festival in 1991. <\/p>\n Their remains were found in the garden of Tobin's home in Margate, Kent where he lived with his third wife. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/VP-COMP-BRIDGE-v3.jpg\")
