Tobin hid student's body under floor

- RUTH SUTER

A CHURCH in Glasgow where serial killer Peter Tobin hid the body of one of his victims is to close for good.

St Patrick's Church in Anderston confirmed it would be closing within the next couple of years due to operational costs and a shortfall in numbers attending the parish.

Canon Paul Gargaro, head of the Scottish Catholic Tribunal, said: "Unfortunately, the numbers attending the parish, the financial challenges of rising bills, the falling number of priests, and the repair bill of almost £2million that we are facing means that we cannot carry on much longer."
