Serial killer Shipman found hanged in Wakefield Prison
Britain marks another grim chapter as Harold Shipman, once a trusted family doctor, is found hanged in his Wakefield Prison cell on Tuesday. He was convicted in 2000 for killing 15 patients and later found to have murdered many more, and his death deprives relatives of an explanation for the murders. Guards discovered the body at 6 20 a m with Shipman pronounced dead two hours later, days before his 58th birthday. Giovanni di Stefano said he was stunned as an appeal was being sought.
