While the teenagers of this fair land fall under the thrall of US serial killers thanks to Netflix, it’s important we don’t neglect the good ol’ psychopathic murderers from Blighty. Take Angus Sinclair, widely believed to be Scotland’s most prolific serial killer. Nicknamed the “World’s End Killer” after the pub in Edinburgh he tracked two of his victims from, Sinclair was found guilty of four murders and widely believed to be responsible for another quartet of slayings. Six of the murders were committed within an eight-month stretch, an admirable workrate.
A disgusting, repugnant human being who is undoubtedly now roasting in the inner circles of Hades… but Angus Sinclair was also one of our own. The Daily Mail reported that due to his recent health issues, Sinclair had set up a sweepstake at HM Glenochil for those who wanted to predict when he’d die. No word if the two DDPers who scored points on Angus are also currently at her majesty’s pleasure…
