A nurse in Germany has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of killing 10 patients and trying to kill 27 others.
The shocking crime was committed to make his night shifts easier by reducing the number of patients he had to care for.
According to prosecutors, the nurse, whose name has not been made public under German privacy laws, worked in the palliative care unit at a hospital in Würselen, western Germany.
He injected elderly patients with strong painkillers or sedatives, causing their deaths between December 2023 and May 2024.
Investigations revealed that the nurse acted out of selfishness and laziness.
He reportedly said he wanted to “ease his workload” during night shifts, which were often busy and stressful. Instead of caring for his patients, he gave them unprescribed drugs that eventually led to their deaths. TO READ MORE, TAP HERE.
