Harold Shipman is possibly the most prolific serial killer in UK history; assuming we don't count kings and nobles who did a lot of their murdering "legally". He was a quiet, unassuming general practitioner in a small-ish town but hid a secret and the motivations, or lack thereof, make it all more disturbing. But, it turns out, he wasn't the only one to instill terror in Hyde...

Linda Hazzard is one of the worst people we've discussed because she was different from most of the rest. She didn't try or even really pretend to care about her patients. She wasn't misguided in an attempt to have mercy or force a social issue. She wanted money and she didn't care who she had to beat, starve, or kill to get it!

We cover Paolo Macchiarini's rise to criminal infamy, romantic escapes (you'll see), and finally his downfall in the VERY lenient Swedish justice system.
