Just reading more online about the case of Dr K and found this article from The Guardian from 7 June 1986. It relates to Dr Najada who worked with Dr K, however things had turned sour after she gave him money that was still not repaid, after he lied about not receiving his wages one month.

He talks about receiving bad treatment by police during his interview but also states he wishes he had married Dr K, as he would than have inherited her estate valued at over £200,000 after her death. I know Dr Najada was cleared but thought that was a strange thing to admit while the murder enquiry was still very fresh and ongoing.

Dr Najada was later struck off and convicted of manslaughter for incorrectly diagnosing a patient who subsequently died. He then falsified the medical records to try and cover this up but was caught.

According to a community group on Facebook for the area of Birmingham Danuta lived in, a relation of hers posted that it is more or less certain Najada did the murder and that the police knew but messed up. Technically this is "solved" unofficially. The death had a huge impact on the family, and it took a long while to sort out her estate and belongings because of the horrific nature.

Oh thank you for posting this. Such a shame for her family, she was clearly a good person. He did seem the most obvious suspect but seems like they just did not have enough evidence to pin it on him.

Thank you. It's good there's finally some sort of closure after 38 years. Reading comments from ex-patients at that time and her relative, she was a lovely caring person. She even gave neighbours Christmas presents. The other death, Thomas Gleason's four years earlier was sadly a tragic accident. Danuta was at work, and Gleason had a drink problem and was careless with ciggaretes. He accidently set himself on fire, and was identified thanks to a filling that fell out.

I feel she enjoyed her life to the full, but was missing someone to share it with. The horrific death of her friend I feel sent her funny, and the abusive relationship she had with Najada added pressure on to her.

This is the problem. It just wasn't enough, and her body was so destroyed there was almost nothing of her.
