German officials expect to bring new charges against a nurse already serving a life sentence for two murders after determining that he might have killed another 84 patients, if not more, a prosecutor said Tuesday. More than that, bringing additional cases to trial would help determine exactly what happened in those killings and provide some closure for families, Koziolek said. He declined to give the ages of the victims or any other details about them, citing German privacy regulations. During his trial, Hoegel had said he intentionally brought about cardiac crises in some 90 patients in Delmenhorst by giving them overdoses. As part of a wider investigation involving both hospitals, police and prosecutors reviewed more than 500 patient files and hundreds more hospital records.
