  • German police on Wednesday said they had arrested a nurse for allegedly trying to give overdoses to at least three patients in his care. Police and prosecutors told reporters that the 24-year-old suspect tried to play the saviour by taking the patients to the brink of death before reviving them. The case recalled that of Niels Hoegel, a German nurse sentenced to life in prison last year for murdering 85 patients. The authorities said they were investigating all potentially suspicious cases on his watch after receiving a tip on Sunday from a doctor at the Munich hospital where the suspect has been employed since July. The nurse, who was not identified by police, was arrested on Monday on three counts of attempted murder -- allegations he denies. Prosecutor Anne Leiding told reporters his online chats indicated he said he "endangered the lives of patients just so he could later be seen as the brilliant saviour". The nurse worked at a ward for patients who had recently emerged from intensive care and were still under close medical observation. In two of the cases in question, the condition of a 91-year-old male patient and a 54-year-old woman being treated suddenly worsened on Saturday and they could only be revived with emergency measures, Josef Wimmer of the Munich police told a news conference. A doctor became suspicious and ordered blood tests, which found high levels of an unspecified medication they had not been prescribed. The same doctor described a case with a 90-year-old patient from late last month when a blood test turned up similar results, Wimmer said. All three victims had been in the suspect's care. One is still in a critical but stable condition while the other two have recovered. Germany was shocked over revelations that Hoegel, believed to be the country's most prolific serial killer, murdered patients with lethal injections between 2000 and 2005, before he was eventually caught in the act. In October, a Polish healthcare worker was sentenced to life in prison in Munich for killing at least three people with insulin. dlc/hmn/jxb
