‘Serial killer’ doctor now accused of murdering 10 patients during home visits A doctor in Berlin who was first arrested in August on suspicion of killing four elderly patients is now suspected of killing a total of 10 patients.
(NF/newsX)] In November, investigators said they had found evidence that indicated he killed four more patients, and on Tuesday they said they suspected him of killing a further two patients.
The unidentified doctor, who was part of a nursing service’s palliative care team, was initially suspected of killing four patients in June and July and then attempting, with mixed success, to set fire to their apartments.
In addition, he is suspected of killing a 57-year-old woman last June, also in her apartment in Berlin, by administering a lethal mixture of medications, investigators said.
On Tuesday, police also called on former colleagues of the suspect or relatives of care recipients who have not had any contact with law enforcement but who may also have suspicions about the death of patients or relatives, to reach out to the police.
