Manchester - Serial killer GP Harold Shipman recorded at least 250 more deaths during his career than other doctors working in the same area at the same time, an audit of his clinical practice published today is expected to show. An independent statistical review of Shipman's work has found an excess of more than 250 deaths compared with similar GPs.
The findings of the study have been passed to police amid fears that the Greater Manchester GP may have murdered many more patients than the 15 he was convicted of killing. Shipman is serving 15 life sentences after being convicted of the murders last February.
