A male nurse in Germany has been accused of murdring nine helpless patients in a hospice ward so that he could have quieter shifts. The unnamed man, 44, is said to have tried to k!ll a further 34 patients between December 2023 and May 2024. Prosecutors say the nurse injected his victims with massive overdoses of sedatives and painkillers in the palliative ward for the of the Rhein-Maas Klinikum in Wurselen in western Germany. Several victims, say prosecutors, had suffered several attempts on their lives and others were due to leave the ward after recovering from their conditions. Prosecutors, who are still investigating further claims, believe the case at Aachen Regional Court, which will start on 24th March, could be the biggest medical murdr trial ever heard in the country. A prosecution spokesman explained: “The nurse wanted to have quiet night shifts with little trouble from the patients.” The court will be told how the nurse carried out his murdr spree at the clinic, with investigators expecting more cases to emerge in the coming weeks, Hospital officials began to suspect the unexplained rapid de@th rate on the ward and called in police who exhumed the victims’ bodies and found unexpectedly high levels of sedatives. The nurse was arrested in July 2024 after suspicions grew around the unusual rise in patient de@ths and incidents during his shifts, and has been in custody ever since. The trial has chilling similarities to the 2024 case of Berlin doctor Johannes M. accused of k!lling 10 patients but suspected of murd#ring up to 50 more for the “thrill of it”.
