KILLER NURSE CONFESSES TO KILLING 100 PATIENTS
An ex-nurse in Germany has admitted to the crime of killing 100 patients, making him one of the world’s most prolific serial killers.
Hoegel, 41, who had already spent nearly a decade in prison on a life term for other patient deaths, and accused of intentionally administering medical overdoses to victims so he could bring them back to life at the last moment, confessed to the crime at the start of his trial
He said he killed his patients, between the ages of 34 and 96, at two hospitals in northern Germany between 2000 and 2005.
When asked by the judge in the Oldenburg court if the charges against him were true, the 41-year-old confessed to “more or less” all of them.
“What I have admitted took place,” he told the courtroom crowded with dozens of grieving relatives.
The Police added that the final number of murders may never be known because some possible victims were cremated.
