Former lawyer Tim McGarry re-opens the police files of John Bodkin Adams, the Northern Irish doctor rumoured to have killed more than 160 of his patients in the 1950's after their wills had been changed.

Bodkin Adams was eventually arrested for murder. However, even before his trial had begun, most newspapers had described how the doctor targeted elderly patients, changed their wills in his favour and killed them with lethal injections.

At the time he was reported to be one of the wealthiest GP's in the United Kingdom with his own chauffeur driven limousine.

The case would become one of the most dramatic and plot-twisting murder trials in legal history.

In his search for the truth, former lawyer Tim McGarry, studies the wills and police documents which were not meant to be seen again until 2033.
