Harold Shipman is the worlds most prolific serial killer. He murdered at least 215 of his patients, and there is even reports that he may have murdered up to 400 people in his medical career. I am from Manchester, England and I have lived in Hyde, Greater Manchester. Hyde is where Harold Shipmans surgery was located, and whilst I was working in Hyde I would often see Harold Shipman come in and out of his surgery, and actually said hello to him on a number of occasions. I knew one of his victims very well, her name was Kathleen Grundy, she was a lovely lady..My thoughts are forever with you and your family Kathleen x, Jun 30 06, 11:53 AM
