| Annotation | In January 2000, the general practitioner (GP) Harold Shipman was convicted of murdering 15 of his patients. This article reports on the basic demographic characteristics of those patients Shipman was judged to have killed. It looks at the total numbers of deaths investigated by the independent public inquiry into the case, and gives statistical information on those deaths the inquiry concluded were homicides on the balance of the evidence available. It also puts on record the effect of these killings on previously published homicide statistics, as well as on previously published mortality statistics. (RH). |
