The case has brought back memories of Niels Högel, a German nurse sentenced to life in prison earlier this year for murdering 85 patients. The defendant on trial in Munich, who has been named by prosecutors only as Grzegorz Stanislaw W., 38, is also accused of three attempted murders. The man worked for at least 69 families, leading to media speculation that more victims could be found. Högel, believed to be Germany's most prolific serial killer, murdered patients with lethal injections between 2000 and 2005, before he was eventually caught in the act.
