A Berlin Doctor Suspected of Eight Murders in Palliative Care

The German judiciary has revealed that a doctor specializing in palliative care in Berlin, already incarcerated, is suspected of causing the deaths of at least eight patients. According to German media, including Die Welt, he allegedly used a cocktail of medications to carry out these acts.

A Chilling Motive: The Desire to Kill

In a statement, the prosecutor’s office declared that the suspect, aged 40, had no other motive than “the desire to kill.” Since last August, he has been held in pretrial detention for the murder of four patients. After their deaths, he reportedly set their apartments on fire to erase the evidence.

A First Suspected Murder Dating Back to 2022

The case dates back to June 2022, when this doctor allegedly administered a lethal mix of medications to a 70-year-old patient before starting a fire to cover up his crime. In January 2024, he is suspected of repeating the same pattern with a 70-year-old man.

A Grim Series of New Cases

Suspicions were reinforced following forensic examinations, including exhumations, which revealed four additional potential victims. Among them:

• A 61-year-old woman, killed in her home in April 2024.
• An 83-year-old man, found dead in a nursing home the same month.

The first identified victims, discovered in August 2024, were women aged 72 to 94, residing in Berlin’s popular neighborhoods of Neukölln and Treptow.
