Ian Paterson , 64 , was jailed for 20 years for harming patients over two decades .

He was convicted in 2017 of 17 counts of wounding with intent and three counts of unlawful wounding.

He carried out unnecessary surgery on ten patients between 1997 and 2011 .

Paterson operated in the NHS and out of two private hospitals run by Spire Healthcare in Birmingham .

He would see patients diagnosed with breast cancer or seeking diagnostic tests on suspicious lumps.

Hundreds of these women have since died and coroners in the West Midlands have ordered inquests into 82 where they believe there is evidence to have reason to suspect that some of those deaths may be unnatural.

Serial killer Harold Shipman timed his suicide in prison to ensure his wife received a bumper pension payout.

Prison records showed Shipman , who killed himself on the eve of his 58th birthday in 2004 , planned his death so his wife would get the maximum pension payout of a 100,000 lump sum and 10,000 a year.
