A palliative nurse was convicted yesterday of the murder of 10 patients with lethal injections and the attempted murder of 27 others and was handed a life sentence by a German court.
Prosecutors had argued that the nurse injected his mostly elderly patients with painkillers or sedatives to ease his workload at night.
The nurse committed the crimes between December 2023 and May 2024 in a clinic near Aachen in western Germany.
