The Josef Hospital in Delmenhorst is in the center of a media storm after German authorities arrested a former nurse who worked at the facility, 40-year-old Niels Hoegel, who is currently suspected of killing at least 84 patients of this facility and a different one in the town of Oldenburg between 1999 and 2005 by pumping them full of deadly drugs which stopped their heart.
Former nurse Niels Hoegel, accused of killing more than 100 patients in his care, goes on trial in the biggest serial killing trial in Germany's post-war history. Hoegel, 41, has already spent nearly a decade in prison for other patient deaths, and is accused of intentionally administering medical overdoses to victims so he could bring them back to life at the last moment.
