Britain's largest mass murderer is dead

Harold Shipman committed suicide by hanging this morning.

Wonder who in the prison service screwed up this time.

For those who don't know who he is he was a former doctor who used his position to murder his patients. He was convicted of 15 murders but is believed to have murdered at least 215 people. ETA: He may have killed more than 300 people, was the finding of a judicial enquiry in 2001. He was convicted in 2000.

Scary, because he was in a position of trust.
