An ex-nurse in western Germany has been convicted of murdering 10 patients and may be linked to over 100 additional deaths. The prosecutor, Katja Schlenkermann-Pitts, stated that many suspicious cases are under review, with some potentially being dismissed after forensic examination. The nurse, sentenced to life imprisonment, administered excessive doses of medication without justification. Investigators are conducting exhumations to gather more evidence, and further charges may be considered, although proceedings are not expected to start before 2027.
