Original title: sentencing for murder of patients! Male nurses sentenced to life imprisonment for 85 deaths
A few days ago, a court in Oldenburg, Germany, sentenced a "nurse murdering a patient" that shocked Germany; Hegel was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of 85 patients and could not be released early after serving 15 years.
This case is considered to be the most serious murder case in Germany after the war.
German law stipulates that prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment can usually apply for parole after serving 15 years, but if the judge determines that the circumstances of the crime are particularly serious, the parole can be postponed indefinitely.
When the Oldenburg court pronounced its judgment on the 6th, it found that the circumstances of the case were "extremely serious" and "broke through all the bottom lines".
Hagel was charged with murdering 100 victims, but he was not convicted in 15 cases.
Hegel was discovered by a female colleague in the summer of 2005 when he injected the patient with an overdose. In fact, in 2015, Hegel was sentenced to life imprisonment for 'deliberately injecting drugs into two patients to cause their death', but then through continuous investigation and autopsy, it was found that there were more victims.
Hagel worked in the hospital intensive care unit in delmenhorst and Oldenburg, Lower Saxony, Germany. From 2000 to 2005, he injected high-dose drugs into severe patients, resulting in the death of patients with heart failure. It is reported that Hegel's motive for committing the crime is to create a critical care emergency, so as to show his ability to save patients from a near death state.
German news agency quoted a psychiatrist as saying that Hegel has personality disorder and lacks shame, guilt, repentance and compassion, but it has not reached the level of mental illness.
