**German Doctor Faces Charges for Murdering 15 Patients with Lethal Drugs**

A shocking case emerges as a palliative care physician stands accused of killing patients in his care between 2021 and 2024.


Prosecutors allege the doctor employed lethal substances to cause deaths, while also attempting to conceal his actions through arson.

The unsettling tale unfolds in Berlin, where a 40-year-old palliative care doctor has been implicated in a series of murders involving 15 of his patients. According to prosecutors, the physician allegedly utilized a combination of lethal drugs to administer fatal doses without the informed consent of his victims. Between September 2021 and July 2024, the doctor is accused of causing the deaths of 12 women and three men, with suspicions that this number could increase as investigations continue.

In a shocking twist, the suspect is also alleged to have engaged in arson, setting fire to the residences of several victims in an apparent effort to destroy evidence and shield himself from scrutiny. The doctor’s patients, aged between 25 to 94, included individuals from various German states.

On one fateful day in July 2024, the doctor is reported to have committed two separate murders: a 75-year-old man in his home and subsequently a 76-year-old woman in a nearby area, just hours later. Disturbingly, he attempted to ignite a fire in the woman's apartment but reportedly failed to do so. In an effort to create an alibi, he contacted a relative of the woman under the pretense of checking on her well-being.

Initially taken into custody in August 2024 for the murders of four patients, further investigations led to the discovery of additional suspicious deaths, prompting plans for further exhumations of potential victims. Authorities are now pursuing a "lifelong professional ban" along with "preventative detention" for the suspect, who remains incarcerated as the case unfolds.
