Daughter says she 'saved' her mother from Harold Shipman after noticing chilling detail about Dr Death that made her feel 'uneasy' A woman has revealed how she saved her mother from the grasp of Britain's most infamous serial killer, Harold Shipman.
Patricia told the BBC that her mother, who was 64 at the time, had an appointment with Shipman at his Market Street practice where he requested that she left the room so he could examine her mother and provide her with medication.
Patricia Powell, 62, from Hyde, Greater Manchester, believes she prevented her mother, Margaret Beckwith, from becoming one of Shipman's victims by refusing to leave her alone with the GP - just months before his arrest in 1998.
