I helped patients die, says doctor cleared of murder

A GP cleared of murdering three patients has admitted hastening their deaths and those of dozens of others in his care, including his own son. Dr Howard Martin, 75, said he gave fatal doses of painkillers to terminally ill patients out of "Christian compassion" and acted in their best interests. His admission comes after he was struck off the medical register for giving 18 vulnerable elderly people excessively high doses of morphine. He told the Daily Telegraph that in two cases he administered the lethal injections without consent. Guardian
