Berlin prosecutors have charged a palliative care doctor with the murders of 15 patients, claiming he used lethal drug cocktails without consent. Throughout various incidents between September 2021 and July 2024, the doctor allegedly administered harmful substances that caused rapid respiratory failure. In several cases, he reportedly attempted to incinerate the crime scenes. Authorities have sought a lifetime professional ban and preventative detention for the suspect, who was arrested in August last year. The case reveals a shocking betrayal of trust in a healthcare environment, as the initial kill count has risen from four to fifteen.
Berlin prosecutors have charged a local palliative care doctor with the murder of 15 patients, administering fatal drugs without consent and allegedly setting fires to conceal his crimes.
The 40-year-old suspect allegedly used a combination of an anaesthetic and muscle relaxant to execute his patients, leading to respiratory arrest within minutes, without their knowledge.
On multiple occasions, the suspect attempted to set fire to the apartments of his victims to cover up the murders, with one attempt failing to ignite.
Initially arrested for four murder charges, the suspect is now facing charges for 15 homicides, highlighting the severity and extent of the alleged crimes.
