A German court on Wednesday ordered a life jail sentence to a palliative care nurse for the murder of 10 patients and attempted murder of 27 others with lethal injections.
The court in the western city of Aachen found the 44-year-old man guilty of the offences committed between December 2023 and May 2024 in a hospital in Würselen near Aachen.
The court also determined that the offences carried a “particular severity of guilt” which should bar him from early release after 15 years, normally an option in such cases.
