The Gloved Hand Killer

The Gloved Hand Killer was a mystery serial killer, who claimed the lives of 7 characters between January and October 2015, all by injecting them with potassium chloride. There were 6 suspects for who the Gloved Hand Killer was, and the killer's identity was revealed in October 2015.
The Gloved Hand Killer's targets were all people who had done wrong in some shape or form. The Gloved Hand Killer also targeted Diane O'Connor and Esther Bloom, but Diane was successfully resuscitated whilst Esther went into cardiac arrest (and was successfully resusciated) before The Gloved Hand Killer could give her the lethal injection.
The killer's identity was revealed in October 2015 after Cindy Cunningham found newspaper cuttings in their locker at Dee Valley University Hospital. After being caught on video killing Ashley Davidson by Charles S'Avage, the killer overheard him telling Cindy and killed him. However, Charlie Dean witnessed the unmasking of the killer by Charles and told Nancy and Darren Osborne in February 2016.
