Published: 11/6/2025

German nurse sentenced to life in jail for murdering 10 patients to lessen workload. The unnamed palliative care nurse in Germany injected elderly patients with painkillers or sedatives, leading to convictions for murder and attempted murder. The offences occurred between December 2023 and May 2024, with investigations into additional suspicious cases underway. The nurse's lack of empathy and high doses of drugs prompted the court to deny early release after 15 years.
