	Harold Shipman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harold Frederick Shipman (14 January 1946 – 13 January 2004) was a British general practitioner who was the most prolific known serial killer in the history of Britain (and possibly the world).
		Shipman was born in Nottingham, the second of three children, and was known as Fred or Freddy to his family.
		Shipman's motive for suicide was not established, although he had reportedly told his probation officer that he was considering suicide so that his widow could receive a National Health Service pension and lump sum, even though he had been stripped of his own pension.

		Harold Frederick Shipman (January 14, 1946 – January 13, 2004) was a British general practitioner who definitely murdered at least 15 people under his care and perhaps between 230 and 275 in total, making him the most prolific serial killer in British history.
		Shipman was detected after he attempted to forge a will for one of his victims, whose exhumed body contained traces of diamorphine (medical-grade heroin, legal for pain control in the UK).
		Shipman was convicted in January 2000 of killing 15 patients with lethal injections of diamorphine.

	Guardian \| Harold Shipman
		Harold Shipman, who has been found hanging in his prison cell aged 57, was almost certainly Britain's worst serial killer, and may have been deadlier than any similar lone criminal in the world.
		Wherever the poison came from, Shipman was a relatively unusual recruit to medicine for his time, when the comfortable, middle-class tradition of the northern GP still held considerable sway.
		The subsequent Shipman inquiry has already called for an overhaul of the system of death certificates, coroners' courts and cremations, and is due to produce its fourth and final report later this year.

		Woodruff was advised by Shipman that an autopsy was not required, and Kathleen Grundy was buried in accordance with her daughterâs wishes.
		Shipman had urged families to cremate their relatives in a large number of cases, stressing that no further investigation of their deaths was necessary, even in instances where these relatives had died of causes previously unknown to the families.
		The commission further speculated that Shipman might have been âaddicted to killingâ, and was critical of police investigation procedures, claiming that the lack of experience of the investigating officers resulted in missed opportunities to bring Shipman to justice earlier.

		Harold Shipman: I had my suspicions that she was actually using a narcotic of some sort, but the scenario was there and she did have — it was available, she may well have given herself accidentally an overdose.

		Shipman comes across in this book as a man of extremes: the dedicated man of medicine who brought the human face of his profession to his patients; and the man who killed, killed and killed again and at the same time generated really bad feelings with people he clearly felt were inferior to him.
		Shipman seems to me to have been the kind of creep who would have tried his evil hand at trying to beat whatever system he had become a part of.
		Shipman has now been exposed as the sham he always was and it's about time he swallowed whatever pride he thinks he has left and tell his story to someone.

	The Shipman Inquiry - Transcript for Trial Day 32
		Dr. Shipman, turning now to count 15 on the indictment, the case of Pamela Margarite Hillier, the only documents I will be dealing with are in the prosecution bundle.
		Dr. Shipman, I don't think there is any dispute, I am sure I will be forgiven for leading on this particular point, did you in fact go to that area where you believed the warden to be, did you speak with the warden and did she come back to the flat with you?
		You see, let's not beat about the bush, Dr. Shipman, the way in which it has been put by the prosecution is that you have deliberately backdated these entries to, if you like, plot a clinical course which could lead to the death of a patient which is not a natural death.
