The Psychology of a Serial Killer: Harold Shipman

Why Did They Do It?


Listen Later

When it comes to serial killers, there’s one thing everyone wants to know, were the protagonists mad or bad? In the final episode of An Appointment With Murder, the good doctors ask the question of Dr Harold Shipman and Dr Bodkin Adams, or indeed, anyone who chooses murder as their final option.


Plus, what happened next after both trials? The failings of the police and judicial system and the psychological makeup of Shipman and Bodkin Adams and the impact and legacy both doctors left on the medical profession that are still being felt years later.
