Angelika accused 'went missing' 'Nurse' Pc found Angelika accused
(about 3 hours later)
Jurors in the Angelika Kluk trial have heard that the man accused of her rape and murder left Scotland after the Polish student was reported missing. A policeman dressed as a male nurse to identify the man accused of raping and murdering Angelika Kluk at a Glasgow church, his trial has heard.
CCTV pictures screened at the High Court in Edinburgh showed 60-year-old Peter Tobin at Edinburgh Bus Station. The High Court in Edinburgh was told that handyman Peter Tobin, 60, gave staff at a London hospital a false name and was pretending to be ill.
Two days later the accused was seen at University College Hospital in London. The jury heard he left Scotland after the Polish student went missing.
Peter Tobin has also been accused of concealing Angelika's body and giving false personal details. He has denied all the charges against him. Mr Tobin is also accused of hiding the 23-year-old's body under St Patrick's church. He denies all charges.
In a special defence read to the jury, Mr Tobin has admitted having sex with the Polish student, with her consent. Police in Scotland had contacted the Metropolitan Police to say that they were looking for Mr Tobin, who had been working as an odd-job man at the church in Anderston.
The jury was shown CCTV pictures of the accused at Edinburgh Bus Station.
Two days later he was seen at the London hospital.
Hospital ward
Pc Alan Murray, 37, said he was sent to a ward in the National Neurology and Neurosurgery Hospital in Queen Square, London, on 30 September last year - the day Ms Kluk's body was removed from the church.
A patient, who had told doctors he was a pipe fitter called James Kelly, was taken to a side room and Pc Murray went to speak to him there.
The court heard that Mr Tobin greeted him with the words: "I knew you were police."
Questioned by defence QC Donald Findlay, Pc Murray revealed the reason for the words.
"That would imply he had seen you before," said the lawyer and Pc Murray agreed.
The arrest was made after Angelika's body was found
He then told the court how he had first taken a look at Mr Tobin. The officer said: "I had nurse's stuff on as there were no civilian jackets I could put on."
The sombre proceedings were lightened by laughter as the policeman added: "Just the top half."
The trial heard that Pc Murray - in police uniform - then went back to Mr Tobin who said: "I knew you were police. I am relieved you are here."
When the policeman asked: "Are you ..." the accused interrupted and said: "Peter Tobin, you have been looking for me."
When he was cautioned by the officer, he replied: "Kent Police and Met Police are looking for me for murder. I am surrendering myself to you Pc 227EK by name of Alan."
"Remarkable, like something out of a bad television play," commented Mr Findlay.
Pc Murray told him: "Those were the words he used which I wrote directly down into my pocket book."
I formed an opinion ... including the fact that the patient had been admitted under a fictitious identity that the medical complaint was fictitious as well Dr Nick Losseff
Earlier, consultant neurologist Dr Nick Losseff, 43, described hospital tests on Mr Tobin.
He said that he handed the man over to police because he thought his symptoms were "fictitious"
The doctor said Mr Tobin made "very poor eye contact" which was unusual for a patient.
Tests failed to reveal any cause for the chest pains and weakness down the left side of his body, which Mr Tobin claimed to be suffering.
Dr Losseff added: "I formed an opinion ... including the fact that the patient had been admitted under a fictitious identity that the medical complaint was fictitious as well."
Ms Kluk had been staying at the chapel house attached to the church and working as a cleaner to help finance her language studies in Gdansk.
The murder charge alleges that Mr Tobin attacked Ms Kluk between 24 September and 29 September last year in St Patrick's Church, raped her, battered her and repeatedly struck her with a knife.
It is alleged that he then hid the body under the floor of the church in an attempt to defeat the ends of justice.
In a "special defence" read to the jury Mr Tobin admits having sex with the Polish student, with her consent.
Mr Tobin also denies further charges of giving false details to police and hospital staff and a breach of the peace.
The trial continues.
