Berlin court sentences a doctor to life for murdering 15 patients under palliative care
Prosecutors said the doctor used lethal sedatives without consent and may be linked to 76 other deaths, making release far less likely.
- A Berlin court will deliver its verdict in the trial of a 41-year-old German doctor accused of killing 15 patients during outpatient palliative care visits between September 2021 and July 2024.
- Prosecutors allege the doctor injected patients with lethal drug mixtures without consent or medical justification, despite victims aged 25 to 94 not facing imminent death.
- The defendant remained silent for two years while in custody before admitting to 12 of the 15 killings, as several fires were allegedly set to cover up the deaths.
- Relatives told the court victims still had plans and wanted to live, while Prosecutors sought a life sentence, particular severity of guilt finding, and a lifetime medical ban.
- The verdict concludes a trial lasting nearly a year and will determine whether the doctor faces preventive detention following the systematic killing allegations.
