Every few days, another tearful family arrived at coroner's court in nearby
Tameside, anxiously awaiting the official proclamation that a loved one who had
died years before -- usually a woman, usually elderly -- had been the victim of
murder.

Everyone knows who committed the crime. He was a trusted citizen of Hyde, a
family doctor who cared for its townspeople with a dedication that won him
widespread adoration. But he was also a man who hid a horrible secret: Harold
Frederick Shipman, 55, was England's -- and perhaps the world's -- most prolific
serial killer.

Even with the number of suspected victims numbering about 300, Dr. Shipman will
never be charged with more than a handful of the killings. The British legal
system, officials say, would be overwhelmed if all of the cases were tried, a
decision that left hundreds of families feeling abandoned by their government.
