Photo: DPAThree care home workers went on trial Monday in Germany accused of killing two elderly residents and abusing a string of others, with prosecutors saying they acted "out of boredom". The case could take on a larger dimension with investigators now looking into 40 deaths at the care home in the western town of Lambrecht. The suspects, two men and a woman, stand accused of suffocating an 85-year-old woman with a pillow, after deliberately injecting her with insulin. They wanted to exercise power over the residents out of base motives and malice," prosecutor Herbert Stroeber was quoted as saying by Bild newspaper. The trial is scheduled to run until the end of November, according to DPA.
