OLDENBURG: A former nurse Niels Hoegel, 42, has admitted to the killing of 100 patients in his care. He was jailed for life in prison at the District Court of Oldenburg, Germany. The judge said Hoegel’s actions were “incomprehensible: That’s the word that characterizes this.”
A German serial killer nurse is considered Germany’s deadliest post-war serial killer. Hoegel was acquitted of 15 cases on Thursday due to lack of enough evidence.
Hoegel was accused of administering his victims several non-prescribed drugs. He did so in an attempt to show off his resuscitation skills to colleagues and excite his life to get out of boredom.
Police suspect the true death toll much higher say 200. But, they don’t have evidence to prove that. The former nurse is already serving a life sentence for six convictions, including homicide and attempted homicide in 2008 and 2015.
