Harold Shipman was a trusted doctor in his community of Hyde, Greater Manchester where he ran his own surgery - until his murderous tendencies were brought to light by some brave whistleblowers and family members of his victims. Shipman was officially charged with 15 murders - but the inquiries that followed his arrest revealed that his body count was more likely in the hundreds. Join Tab and Carly this week for Part 2 of this wicked story, as we cover his trial, conviction, and the inquiries that followed - including the stories of some of his 200-400 murder victims.
