The GP - thought to be Britain's most prolific serial killer - was convicted of murdering 15 of his patients in January 2000.

A regular on the 38 bus, a young girl called Primrose Oxtoby caught Shipman’s eye. During the inquest, Primrose muttered statements such as ’I don’t know’ and ‘I can’t remember.’She also denied having taken rings from the victims. "Yours was not a healing touch. Harold Frederick Shipman seemed to have it made.

"None of them knew that in truth you had brought her death, death which was disguised as the caring attention of a good doctor. This medical treatment must have had an effect on the young man as it became his preferred method of murder years later.However, for now, Shipman’s life continued on track. "His defence claimed toxicology was 'a new science and untested by proven scientific methods'.They questioned why a doctor who was 'so caring he called on his patients and visited them at home' would murder 15 people.There was, they argued unsuccessfully, a lack of motive.During the trial, there was a moment when Primrose turned to two of the relatives of her husband's victims queuing behind her for tea and cheerily wished them a good morning.After his conviction, it emerged that a box containing rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings had been found in the couple's bedroom.Police believed the rings had been kept by Shipman as some kind of sick 'trophy' - a common approach of serial killers.Primrose, who was not involved with her husband's killing spree, had worked as the GP's receptionist until his arrest.She appeared bewildered by the court proceedings and firmly believed in his innocence.When questioned she would blink repeatedly like an animal caught in headlights.Primrose Shipman had gone from the relative power and status of a doctor's receptionist to the wife of the country's most notorious serial killer.It took the jury of seven men and five women took 33 hours and 55 minutes to unanimously find Harold Shipman guilty of all the murder charges and forging the will of his final victim, Kathleen Grundy.As the guilty verdicts were returned, Shipman stared straight ahead in the tense, packed courtroom.His wife was in her usual seat in the oak-panelled courtroom, her expression giving nothing away.Mr Justice Forbes told him that the sheer wickedness of what he had done was 'shocking beyond belief' as he jailed him for life with a recommendation that he never been released.He was formally struck off the General Medical Council register 10 days after his conviction. Having to work through a doctors qualification whilst supporting a young family.So what did Primrose see in Shipman? You are dealing with one of the most evil men in history".When questioned by police officers about his crimes, Shipman turned his back to them as a mark of disrespect.And when they showed him photographs of his victims, he'd refuse to look.Psychiatrists brought in to examine his state of mind always referred to his mother's death as a potential trigger for his crimes.One theory bandied around was that he was somehow resentful that his elderly female patients had lived longer than his mother, who was just 43.Dr Richard Badcock, at the time a specialist at Rampton Special Hospital, near Retford, would identify Shipman as a 'classic necrophiliac', having interviewed him during the investigation.He said Shipman's difficulties forming relationships, and the sense of vulnerability that caused, may have contributed to his desire to kill. "Following his conviction, judge Dame Janet Smith carried out an extensive inquiry into his crimes and published a number of reports making a series of recommendations, starting at Manchester Town Hall, in June 2001.Her first report, published in July 2002, concluded Dr Shipman had killed at least 215 patients with a suspicion over the deaths of a further 45.Her second report concluded that Shipman's final three victims - Winifred Mellor, Joan Melia and Kathleen Grundy, would probably have been saved if the police investigation had been properly conducted and supervised.In a third report she found that by issuing death certificates stating natural causes, the serial killer was able to evade investigations by coroners.The fourth report called for stringent controls on the use and stockpiling of controlled drugs, such as diamorphine.A fifth report focused on the regulation and monitoring of GPs and criticised the General Medical Council in the 1970s for failing in its primary task of protecting patients 'because it was too involved in protecting doctors'.A sixth, and final report, published in January 2005 concluded that Shipman had killed 250 patients and probably embarked on his murderous career at the age of 25, just a year after completing his medical training.In 2007, the government published Learning From Tragedy, a summary of all the action taken in response to the Shipman Inquiry.The government brought in procedures for safeguarding controlled drugs, new laws to improve the coroners system and measures to identify health workers who pose a threat to patient safety.One of the main changes was a second doctor now signs cremation certificates and speaks to a member of the family and examines medical records.In an interview with the BBC a decade ago, Dame Janet expressed concern about the lack of progress in implementing her recommendations on tightening up the way deaths are recorded.In 2018, it emerged that more than 450 patients died when they were given 'dangerous' levels of opioid painkillers.No charges were brought against retired GP Dr Jane Barton, 71, who was found to have presided over 'an institutionalised regime' with a 'flagrant disregard for human life' by an official inquiry.The Gosport Independent Panel found people who had been viewed as a 'nuisance' were given opiates via syringe drivers, often resulting in their deaths within days, amid 'a culture of shortening the lives' of patients.The panel's report found a total of 456 people has their lives cut short and another 200 were 'possibly' given drugs without medical justification between 1987 and 2001.A new independent police investigation began in April 2019 with a team of up to 90 officers would focusing on the deaths between 1987-2001.In 2010, the General Medical Council found Dr Barton guilty of professional misconduct for failing in her care of 12 patients between 1996 and 1999.Her husband, Tim Barton, told the Sunday Times in 2002 that she had been under a huge amount of pressure and was severely overworked.

Psychologists suggest that Rose West could have suffered from Folie a Deux as well. A filmmaker is set to re-examine the case of Harold Shipman.
