Killer pharmacist barred

A BRITISH pharmacist who subdued his wife by injecting her with insulin before strangling her with a plastic bag has been found to be unfit to practise.

The pharmacist was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment in Dec, for his wife’s murder, after data from his smartphone’s health app was used to secure the conviction.

Forensic evidenced was produced during his trial revealing he had researched strangulation and the effects of insulin for a number of years, before he committed the crime, Lexology reported.

The pharmacist ransacked the family home in an effort to make it appear to have been a result of a botched burglary.

However, his iPhone was actively monitoring him, with data showing he was running up and down the stairs shortly after his wife was murdered, while her phone had no recorded movement until after her death, when he dropped it outside their house as part of his effort to fake a break-in.

In Jun the General Pharmaceutical Council Fitness to Practise Committee met to consider his registration status following his conviction.

The committee ruled that his fitness to practise was impaired due to his criminal conviction.
