Allegations Arise Against a Palliative Doctor for Accusations of Killing His Mother-in-Law
A Berlin palliative doctor is set to stand trial next week, accused of murdering 15 patients. The 40-year-old doctor, currently in custody, is charged with the crimes that allegedly took place while working for a care service in the city.
Investigations have been ongoing since September 2021, with the indictment listing 15 cases between September 22, 2021, and July 24, 2024. The Berlin public prosecutor's office is reviewing the circumstances surrounding these deaths, and authorities have performed autopsies and exhumations related to the cases.
However, there is no credible information from verified sources indicating that the doctor, who is under investigation in Germany, is also suspected of killing his mother-in-law in Poland. Reports from Stern and RTL have focused on the investigation in Germany, where the doctor is suspected of killing mainly elderly patients. None of these sources mention any connection to a mother-in-law or any crimes in Poland.
It should be noted that the case involving the mother-in-law of the accused doctor has not been confirmed by the Berlin public prosecutor's office to be one of the 96 suspicious cases currently under investigation.
The mother-in-law of the accused doctor lived in Poland and reportedly died in early 2024, following a visit from the doctor and his wife. Colleagues of the accused doctor allegedly told police that he mentioned during a team meeting at his care service that he had injected his mother-in-law to death. However, the indictment against the doctor does not include the mother-in-law's case at this time.
The exact date of the mother-in-law's death and the location of her burial are not specified, and there is no mention of an exhumation for forensic examination in the reports. The doctor has not commented on the allegations regarding his mother-in-law's death.
As the trial approaches, the public prosecutor's office continues to investigate, suggesting that the number of suspected victims could increase significantly. The doctor's trial at the Berlin Regional Court is scheduled to begin next Monday.
- The investigation conducted by the Berlin public prosecutor's office involves multiple policy areas, including community policy, as they review the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the doctor's patients and potential victims.
- In addition to the focus on health-and-wellness, general news, and crime-and-justice, this case may also raise questions in the field of science, as experts analyze the circumstances of the doctor's suspected actions and their impact on patient care.
