Harold Shipman

Harold Shipman was a trusted family doctor in Greater Manchester, a man whose profession gave him access, authority and the confidence of the people around him. Behind that respectable image, however, was one of the darkest criminal cases in British history. In this episode, we look at how Shipman built a career in medicine, the warning signs that appeared long before he was caught, the suspicious deaths that slowly began to raise alarm, and the investigation that finally exposed him. We also examine the trial, the public inquiry, and the lasting changes his crimes forced on British medicine. It is a grim story of trust abused on a shocking scale, and of a system that failed far too many vulnerable people.  Visit our website: Compact Murder Find us on our social media sites: Facebook Instagram Pinterest Youtube #TrueCrimePodcast, #BritishCrime, #HaroldShipman, #MedicalMurder, #CrimeHistory
