Police resumed their search today (17 November) at a Margate house where they have already found the bodies of two teenage girls who went missing 16 years ago.

Peter Tobin, 61, said by media to have once owned the house, has appeared in court accused of murdering 15-year-old Vicky Hamilton, whose body was found there on Monday.

Yesterday, detectives found remains of a body they believe to be that of Dinah McNicol, who was 18 when she vanished after failing to return home after a music festival.

Dinah never reached her home in Essex after leaving the music festival at Liphook, Hampshire, in the summer of 1991.

Vicky Hamilton's remains were found in a sandpit in the house's garden, police have said. She disappeared from Bathgate, West Lothian, in Scotland, also in 1991.

Tobin has appeared at a private hearing at Linlithgow Sheriff Court in Scotland accused of Hamilton's murder.
