We wrote an article about serial killer Harold Shipman not long ago. That’s right, the one with over 215 victims. Shipman was a medic so he had easy access to his victims, most of which were elderly patients. When he was not injecting his patients with a morphine overdose, Shipman was also presenting himself as an important member of his community.
Bellow we have the Harold Shipman inquiry documents. After being arrested and convicted, an inquiry was ordered to investigate patient files and determine how many other victims he had.
1. First Inquiry investigated how many patients Shipman killed, the means employed and the period over which the killings took place. July 19, 2002.
