00:00Did you know a trusted family doctor murdered over 200 patients and almost got away with it?
00:04For 23 years, Harold Shipman was the kind of doctor everyone wanted.
00:08Caring, reliable, always willing to make house calls.
00:11But during those visits, he was killing his patients.
00:14Shipman would arrive at elderly patients' homes with his black medical bag.
00:18He'd inject them with lethal doses of morphine.
00:21Then he'd sit with the families, offering comfort as they died.
00:24He forged medical records, changed death certificates, and made it look natural.
00:28In April, 218 confirmed victims, but investigators believed the real number could be over 400.
00:34What finally exposed him?
00:35A patient's will.
00:36Kathleen Grundy, a healthy 81-year-old, suddenly died after Shipman's visit.
00:41Days later, her family discovered she'd left everything to her doctor.
00:44That triggered the investigation that brought him down.
00:46When police arrested him, Shipman showed no emotion, no remorse.
00:50He calmly denied everything.
00:52Even in prison, he never confessed.
00:54Britain's most prolific serial killer, hidden behind a stethoscope and a smile.
