Scottish serial killer and rapist Angus Sinclair dies in prison days after joining betting pool on how long he lives
Scottish serial killer Angus Sinclair, who is also known as the World's End serial killer, has died a few days after "joining a betting sweepstake over his death". The 73-year-old had suffered from multiple strokes in recent years and has died in Glenochil Prison, Clackmannanshire.
The serial killer was sentenced to life behind bars and was ordered to serve a minimum of 37 years in 2014 after the jury at his trial found him guilty of murdering 17-year-olds Christine Eadie and Helen Scott in Edinburgh in 1977.
He was also found guilty of raping and murdering 17-year-old Mary Gallacher in Glasgow in 1978. The gruesome crimes became known as the World's End murders because the teens were last seen leaving the famous pub by that name in the city's old town.
