The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service have now announced that a Fatal Accident Inquiry will be held to examine the circumstances of his custody death. A preliminary hearing will be held on May 27 at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
Procurator Fiscal Andy Shanks, who leads on fatalities investigations for COPFS, said: “The Lord Advocate considers that the death of Peter Tobin occurred while in legal custody and as such a Fatal Accident Inquiry is mandatory.

The purpose of a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) includes determining the cause of death; the circumstances in which the deaths occurred, and to establish what, if any, reasonable precautions could have been taken, and could be implemented in the future, to minimise the risk of future deaths in similar circumstances.
