Oh snap!! Even though he reportedly expressed regret for killing these patient that's still bizarre.
A nurse in
Germany who admits killing up to 30 patients by injecting them with
heart medication so he could show off his resuscitation skills has been
jailed for life.
Nils
H, was found guilty at Oldenburg Regional Court of two counts of murder
and two counts of attempted murder relating to his time working at a
clinic in the German town of Delmenhorst.
The
38-year-old, whose full name is being withheld under German privacy
laws, was then told he would have to spend the rest of his life in jail.
It also emerged that he had previously been sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison in 2008 for attempted murder.
More pictures of him concealing his face as he arrives for his trial after the cut.
Now,
police are investigating claims he may actually be responsible for at
least another 200 deaths at other clinics where he worked in Oldenburg
and Wilhelmshaven.
According to the prosecution, if the first attempt at resuscitation was a success, H would sometimes make a second attempt.
Side
effects of the drug he administered include an irregular heartbeat, a
drop in blood pressure and uncoordinated functioning of the heart
muscle.
The
death rate in the Delmenhorst clinic nearly doubled in the time H
worked there, and use of the heart medication also increased
dramatically.
But it took nearly a decade before an investigation was launched, angering relatives of the dead who are demanding information.
