German nurse kills 100 patients

You're likely referring to the case of Niels Högel, a German nurse who was convicted of murdering at least 100 patients under his care.

Niels Högel worked as a nurse at several hospitals in Germany, including the Robert-Vinyl-Krankenhaus in Delmenhorst, where most of the murders took place. Between 1999 and 2005, Högel administered lethal doses of medication to his patients, often without their knowledge or consent.

Högel's motives for the murders were not entirely clear, but it's believed that he may have been driven by a desire for attention and sympathy from his colleagues and patients. He would often pretend to be a hero by "saving" patients from near-death situations, only to later kill them and claim credit for their recovery.

The investigation into Högel's crimes began in 2005, when a patient at the Robert-Vinyl-Krankenhaus survived an overdose of medication that Högel had administered. The patient reported the incident to the police, and an investigation was launched.

Högel was arrested in 2005 and subsequently convicted of two counts of murder. However, it's believed that he may have killed many more patients than the two for which he was convicted.

In 2015, Högel was sentenced to life in prison for the murders of two patients. However, in 2017, he was re-arrested and charged with the murder of 97 additional patients. In 2019, he was convicted of the murders of 85 patients and sentenced to life in prison.

Högel's case has been widely reported in Germany and has sparked outrage and concern about the safety of patients in German hospitals. It has also led to calls for improved training and oversight of healthcare professionals to prevent similar cases from occurring in the future.
