Murder by Medic is a British true crime documentary television series about murders committed by medical professionals. The programme presents cases in which doctors, nurses, paramedics and other healthcare workers use their medical knowledge to kill rather than treat their victims.[7] It is produced by British factual television company FirstLookTV for the Crime+Investigation channel.[8]
Format
Each episode focuses on a single case and uses interviews, archive material and simple reconstructions to explain how suspicions arose, how investigations were carried out and how the offenders were brought to trial.[9] Contributors typically include detectives, prosecutors and medical or forensic specialists commenting on the evidence and the clinical context of the crimes.[10]
Broadcast
Murder by Medic was first broadcast on Crime+Investigation in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2024.[11] Abacus Media Rights acts as the international distributor and has sold the series to broadcasters and streaming services in the United States, Canada and parts of Europe, including Hulu in the US and Blue Ant Media in Canada.[12]
