PETER Tobin has admitted he is guilty of a number of evil murders but denied rumours he is Bible John, according to reports.
The notorious serial killer allegedly made the comments to a fellow inmate at HMP Edinburgh.
The sick murderer took the lives of Angelica Kluk, 23, Vicky Hamilton, 15, and Dinah McNicol, 18 between 1991 and 2006 and now "wants to get things off his chest" before he dies from cancer, the Daily Record reports.

The former Anderston church handyman was rumoured by some to be responsible for the Bible John murders of the 1960s.
Police have never found evidence Tobin was responsible for the Barrowlands Ballroom murders but much has been made around the similarities between Tobin and a photofit made of the mystery serial killer, most notably in the work of criminologist David Wilson.

It is thought to be the first time the dying killer has addressed the rumours.
