Dr. Harold “Frank” Shipman was, for a long time, considered a respected practitioner in his community — despite his arrogance. It wasn’t until 1998 that sufficient evidence was gathered to convict Shipman of murdering his patients. Suspicion arose when people started to notice an unusually high mortality rate, as well as cremation forms, among Shipman’s patients. It was discovered that he intentionally overdosed his patients — now victims — and would then sign their death certificates before forging their medical records to make everything appear normal. Shipman was initially found guilty of killing 15 patients by lethal injection of diamorphine, but it was later discovered that his victims numbered upwards of 250 — or more.

That said, he was my family doctor for a while till I was about 14. And I've gotta say, strangely he always seemed like a professional, nice man.
Definitely a split personality. A Jekyll from Hyde.
And as bad as it is to say, I guess that concentration camp guy figured something out w/ the terrible experiments he did on twins.
The sickest bit was when he had the nerve to ask the city for another elephant...
