Britain s worst serial killer, convicted of killing 15 patients, murdered more than 200 others, a public inquiry into his crimes reported Friday.Dr. Harold Shipman was convicted 18 months ago of killing 15 of his patients, all elderl stanley tumblers y women, by injecting them with heroin. He was suspected then of killing many, many more. Investigators say it was deeply disturbing that the deaths did not arouse suspicion for so many years.The inquiry s head, High Court judge Dame Janet Smith, said there was also a real suspicion Shipman had killed 45 more people between 1975 and 1998.Shipman has maintained his innocence, and no motive for the crimes has been established, reports CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips.
