Germany: jailed nurse suspected of murdering more patients



OLDENBURG: -- A former German nurse already serving a life sentence for murdering two patients after injecting them with heart medication, may have killed dozens more, say investigators.

Test results taken from the bodies of 27 patients found traces of the same drug after they were exhumed.

The 39-year-old nurse, named only as Niels H, was convicting in February last year for murdering two of his patients.

In court, the former nurse admitted killing up to 30 people with the medication.

Judges in Oldenburg in northern Germany say he had a desire to win approval from patients by resuscitating them.

So at least 30 patients never made it to the "resuscitating" stage of the plot? A bit of a disconnect in the accused's thinking or the news writer's logic.

The punishment should be the same injection in the town park on a Sunday after church services!

Everyone invited!

Not sure this article understood it is a male nurse, a man.

Sorry for the patients and their families.
And sorry for all the other nurses, who are doing a difficult but wonderful job, that a weirdo casts such shadow on their profession.

Oh no, not another one of these murderous nurses...it makes one scared to go to the hospital.
