Suspicions loom against a medical professional linked to multiple killings, with the potential inclusion of his mother-in-law among the deceased.
In a developing story, a palliative care physician based in Berlin is facing murder charges and is set to stand trial on the 14th of July at the Berlin Regional Court. The defendant, whose mother-in-law passed away under suspicious circumstances, is under investigation for his role in her death.
The Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office is currently reviewing the circumstances surrounding the death of the doctor's mother-in-law, one of 96 suspicious cases under investigation. The investigation has ordered the exhumation and forensic examination of corpses in 16 cases, including one new case that involves allegations of the accused's involvement in his mother-in-law's death.
According to reports, the woman, who lived in Poland and suffered from cancer, passed away in Poland in a case that was previously reported by Stern and RTL. Colleagues of the accused allegedly testified to the police that he had confessed to traveling to Poland and injecting his mother-in-law to death at a team meeting of his care service.
The exact role of the new case in the ongoing investigation is not specified, and it remains undetermined if this new case involves the mother-in-law of the accused. The indictment lists 15 cases from the 22nd of September 2021 to the 24th of July 2024, but the new case was not included in the original list.
The investigation continues, and it is possible that the number of suspected victims could increase. The doctor is suspected of committing these acts while working for a care service in Berlin. The trial is expected to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the death of the doctor's mother-in-law and the potential involvement of the accused in other suspicious cases.
It is important to note that the defendant has not yet commented on the allegations, as confirmed by both the defense and the Public Prosecutor's Office. The investigation is ongoing, and further developments are expected to be reported as the trial progresses.
