Description
In the second and final episode of the story of Harold Shipman, we find out how the police went about investigating his murders. A suspicious will led to questions regarding prominent citizen, Kathleen Grundy's death and the exhumation of her body. A local doctor had become suspicious of the sheer amount of cremations being performed at Shipman's Surgery, and so, these taken together, an investigation into recent deaths of Shipman's patients was launched. Soon, 12 women's bodies had been exhumed.
This week, we find out a little about these women, the investigation of the police, Shipman's lengthy trial, and the public inquiry that followed.
