Ulster's Doctor Death: The Killer Case of John Bodkin Adams

Andrew Johnston • Professional company

50 minutes•Clover Studio
Make an appointment with dark historian Andrew Johnston of Alternative Ulstours, as he reopens the true crime case of Northern Ireland's own angel of death, the not-so-good Dr John Bodkin Adams. Check in for the tale of a "sausage-fingered", God-fearing, Rolls-Royce-driving GP, whose patients on England's "Costa Geriatrica" had a habit of dying in his care – but not before changing their wills in the grasping physician's favour. Relive 1957's controversial murder trial of a man who could be Britain and Ireland's worst ever serial killer. The doctor is sin!
