The documentary series Murder By Medic examines the dark side of medicine, exploring cases where those sworn to save lives have become killers. In this episode, the series turns its attention to the case of Marie Whiston, a nurse from Birmingham who was convicted of murdering her partner, 60-year-old Eric Lloyd.
Whiston’s method of murder was a chilling abuse of her medical knowledge, as she injected Lloyd with insulin, a substance that can be deadly when administered to a non-diabetic.
The episode examines the details of the crime, the investigation, and the eventual conviction of Whiston. It also explores the impact of the murder on Lloyd’s family and the subsequent reduction of Whiston’s sentence due to her reported good behaviour and personal development in prison.
Murder By Medic: Marie Whiston airs on Crime & Investigation on Monday, 26 August 2024, at 8:00 pm.
