Killer doctor 'has prison privileges removed'

Serial killer Dr Harold Shipman has had prison privileges taken away because of poor behaviour, it emerged today.

The GP had his prisoner status reduced from “enhanced” to “basic” for general non-compliance with staff, a prison source said.

The television in his cell at Wakefield Jail, West Yorkshire, has been removed and he must wear the prison uniform instead of casual clothes.

Shipman, 57, was jailed for murdering 15 patients while he was a GP in Hyde, Greater Manchester. An inquiry found he killed at least 200 more.
