The docuseries Murder By Medic examines cases of medical professionals who abuse their expertise to commit crimes, violating their Hippocratic Oath. This episode investigates a chilling case spanning three decades, involving suspected insurance fraud through staged car accidents.
In 1994, what appeared to be a tragic car accident left Malcolm Webster a widower. However, when a similar incident occurred five years later with his second wife in New Zealand, suspicions arose.
Malcolm Webster was eventually charged and convicted of murdering his first wife, Claire Morris, in Aberdeenshire and attempting to murder his second wife, Felicity Drumm, through staged car crashes, motivated by insurance money.
The episode also explores allegations involving a third woman, Simone Banarjee, suggesting a pattern of manipulative behaviour by Webster. Webster’s psychological profile includes a diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder, and he was labelled a sociopath by a police profiler.
