Article Abstract:

Harold Shipman, a GP from Hyde, Greater Manchester, England, who has been convicted of murdering 15 elderly female patients, was widely respected in the local community. He was able to gain the trust of his patients, and trust also clouded the judgment of police officers when doubts about his cremation certificates were first raised. He exploited his medical knowledge to ensure that questions were not raised about suspicious deaths.

Why he got away with murder, despite alarms

Article Abstract:

GP Harold Shipman murdered three elderly female patients after detectives abandoned an investigation of his suspicious activities without interviewing him or looking into his criminal record. A number of people associated with Shipman professionally became suspicious about the number of his patients who had died suddenly, and Greater Manchester Police were alerted. Undertaker Alan Massey, who had tackled Shipman in 1997, was interviewed by Greater Manchester Police three times, but Shipman was not and officers did not seize medical records kept at his surgery.
