Thomas Lodwig was an English doctor, accused of murdering a patient with terminal cancer in 1990.
A 48-year-old patient with terminal pancreatic cancer, Roy Spratley,[3] had been receiving regular and increasing doses of heroin for pain relief.
He then drew a finger across his throat and pointed upwards, an act his counsel later claimed was a joke.
In court, though, the prosecution stated that its main medical witness was no longer convinced that the patient had died solely from a potassium overdose.
