John Bodkin Adams Quotes

British general practitioner and fraudster (1899–1983)

John Bodkin Adams (21 January 1899 – 4 July 1983) was an Irish-born British physician widely believed to have been a serial killer. He was tried in 1957 for the murder of one of his patients but controversially acquitted, while another charge of murder was withdrawn via a nolle prosequi - an act which the presiding judge described as an 'abuse of process' by the prosecutor Reginald Manningham-Buller. According to Scotland Yard files released in 2003, Adams was suspected in the murders of up to 163 of his patients.
