A HEARTLESS mum jailed for a campaign of violence against a child has been revealed as a schoolgirl killer who stabbed a man to death.
Nicole Tobin was aged just 15 when she plunged a knife into the heart of Andrew Reed at Camber Sands holiday park in Kent.

She was sentenced for killing the 34-year-old in January 2004 after admitting manslaughter by diminished responsibility.
Tobin, now aged 36, has been jailed again alongside her ex-boyfriend Alex Arulselvan after their child was repeatedly attacked, Kent Online reports.
The former couple left the victim, who can’t be identified, with multiple broken bones following at least six episodes of violence.
Jurors were not made aware of Tobin’s evil past when she and Arulselvan stood trial.
Canterbury Crown Court heard the child suffered fractures on their collarbone, ribs, vertebrae, thighbone, wrist and big toe.
Experts confirmed they had been the victim of “excessive force” consistent with gripping, twisting, shaking, snapping and squeezing.
The child would have been left in pain after the parents failed to seek treatment for the horror injuries, which took place over a 12-week period.
Tobin and Arulselvan, 34, were found guilty of three charges of causing or allowing serious physical harm to a child.
They were jailed for six-and-a-half years each after Judge Simon Taylor KC said the child’s quality of life is “severely inhibited”.
As she was led away from the dock for harming her child, Tobin yelled out: “We’re innocent by the way”.
The court was told Tobin has a string of other convictions, including battery, assaulting an emergency worker and threatening behaviour.
She carried out the brutal holiday park killing in 2002 after she “snapped”.
Andrew had been rowing with Tobin’s brother over the amount of alcohol she had been drinking.
The mum plunged the knife into his heart – leaving the blade in his chest as she ran to get help.
