Hanged behind curtain

HAROLD SHIPMAN hid himself behind a window curtain where he was found hanging.

Prison Officers Association General secretary Brian Caton said the serial killer was checked in his single cell frequently through the night and was alive and well at 5am.

But, at the 6am check, Mr Caton said: “He’d hung himself from a ligature, thought to be strips of bedding, and had held the curtains around himself so no one could see him.”
