Shipman had a history of murdering about 250 of his patients, although he was convicted for only 15. As a result, he earned the nickname”Dr. Death” and “The Angel of Death”.
Shipman had been sentenced to life imprisonment and became the only British doctor to have been convicted of murdering his patients.
The Shipman Inquiry which was an investigative panel set up to examine Shipman’s crimes, disclosed that majority of Shipman’s victims were elderly women in good health.
He had murdered them by “prescribing a fatal dose of drugs.”
