WHY ARE GERMANS LIKE THIS? A 44-year-old nurse from the Rhein-Maas clinic in the city of Würselen (North Rhine-Westphalia) has been charged with the murder of nine patients and the attempted murder of 34 more people. According to investigators, he administered lethal doses of medication to patients in order to ensure a "quiet night" on duty. The suspect was arrested back in July 2024 on charges of 11 attempted murders. However, during the investigation it turned out that the nurse's actions led to the death of a number of patients. In February, the Aachen prosecutor's office charged him with five murders and 25 attempted murders. Recently, four more murders and nine attempted murders were added to the charges.
