A former nurse admitted on Tuesday, 30th October 2018 to have killed 100 patients in Germany, closing the case of the country's biggest, post-war serial killing spree.
On his first day of trial, Niels Hoegel, 41, admitted to killing 100
patients between 2000 and 2005 in northern Germany by injecting them
with lethal drugs and trying to resuscitate them; an attempt that often
failed.
When asked by the presiding judge, Sebastian Buehrmann if the allegations levelled against him were largely true, Mr. Hoegel simply replied "yes".
Mr. Hoegel is believed to be responsible for the death of more than 130
patients, but the cremation of more possible victims makes determining
the exact number of victims nearly impossible as gathered by Rostrum's health correspondent.
It would be recalled that Mr. Hoegel was first caught by a co-worker in 2005 when he was administering
lethal drugs to a patient; a crime he received a sentence
of seven years in prison in 2008.
In 2015, he was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted on two additional murder and attempted murder charges.
