I wonder why he finally admitted to killing and burying Lynda.

Maybe it was more a matter of Coates boasting rather than admitting to the killing? speculation.

''But Coats boasted to a cellmate in prison that he smothered her, cut off her head and burnt her remains in a furnace.''
2016
''COATS was filmed talking about abduction and extortion – while wearing full make-up, a fishnet bodice, hot pants and white fur boots.

He called himself “the new gangster in town”, made coded references to cocaine and joked about gay sex.

The video, which can be seen on the Record website, gives a disturbing glimpse into Coats’s warped mind.

The bankrupt ex-millionaire recites bizarre poems and does impressions, including one of Sir Sean Connery.

Underworld sources told us it was filmed by a friend at Coats’s flat in Broomhill in the west end of Glasgow in September 2008, less than three years before Lynda was kidnapped, tortured and killed.

Coats stares straight at the camera throughout the 19-second clip, which is filmed in the style of a spoof advert.''
''The killer wept in jail when the video emerged''
