Taxi driver feared Shipman had murdered elderly women

A TAXI driver suspected Harold Shipman was killing his elderly customers because they were dying “suddenly and unexpectedly“, the inquiry into the former doctor’s crimes heard yesterday.

John Shaw said he did not report the GP to the police at first as he thought nobody would believe his “crazy and fantastic” fears.

He told the hearing in Manchester that he still felt guilty that “at least 20 people died because I had got no-one to turn to or speak to“.
