A German doctor will hear a trial on Monday to kill 15 deadly injection patients, in which investigators fear that they can only be the tip of a deadly iceberg.
Working in Berlin between September 2021 and July 2024, a 40 -year -old Palestio Care Specialist, named after the German media, is accused of killing 12 women and three men between September 2021 and July 2024.
He allegedly injected the victims between the ages of 25 and 94, which led to them with a deadly cocktail and in some cases set fire to their homes to hide their crimes.
According to the Dai Zet newspaper, a fellow worker first picked up the alarm about Johannes M. that many of his patients were killed in the fire.
He was arrested in August, initially by the prosecution with four deaths.
But the investigation threw a large number of other suspicious cases, and in April the prosecution accused Johannes M on 15 counts.
A further 96 cases are being investigated in the death of Johannes M. MK mother -in -law, a prosecution spokesman told AFP.
According to media reports, she was suffering from cancer and died mysteriously this weekend that Johannes M and her wife went to meet them in Poland in early 2024.
Comfortable in the muscles
The suspect is trained by the German media, a suspected person under the name of “doctor’s death”, a radiologist and trained as a general practitioner before being trained.
According to Dai Zet, he presented a doctorate dissertation in 2013 in search of motivations behind the deaths in Frankfurt, whose words “Why do people kill?” Open with.
Prosecutors say that in all 15 cases, Johannes M. “did a anesthetic for his patients and comfortable in one muscle and without their knowledge or consent.
The comfortable “paralyzed the breathing muscles, which resulted in the arrest of the breath and the death within a few minutes.”
In five cases, Johannes M allegedly set fire to the apartments of the victims after injection.
At one point, he is accused of killing two patients on the same day.
On the morning of July 8, 2024, he allegedly killed a 75 -year -old man in his home in Kreuzberg district of Berlin.
It is said that “a few hours later” is said to have attacked once again, killing a 76 -year -old woman in the neighboring Nicovilian district.
Prosecutors say she set fire to the woman’s apartment, but she went out.
The prosecution said, “When he realized it, he allegedly told a relative of the woman and claimed that he was standing in front of his flat and no one was responding to the doorbell.”
In another case, Johannes M has falsely claimed that he had already begun to rehabilitate a 56 -year -old victim, which was initially rescued by rescue workers but died in the hospital three days later.
‘No purpose beyond murder’
Johannes M has not commented on the allegations leveled against him.
Prosecutors say it “has no purpose beyond murder” and he wants to be sentenced to life imprisonment.
In this case, it is remembered that the notorious German nurse Niles Hogl, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2019 for the murder of 85 patients.
Hoagal, considered German’s most enthusiastic serial killer, killed a deadly injection hospital between 2000 and 2005, before he was finally caught in the act.
Recently, a 27 -year -old nurse was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2023 for deliberately managing unauthorized drugs.
In March, another nurse was tried in Achin, which was accused of injection of 26 patients, which contains large quantities of ceditose or large amounts of pain, resulting in nine deaths.
Last week, German police revealed that they were investigating another doctor who suspects they kill several elderly patients.
Police and prosecutors said investigators were “reviewing” the doctor’s deaths from Pinnaburg, northern Germany, just outside Hamburg.
