Ammon News - A male nurse accused of multiple murders and attempted murders at a palliative care clinic in western Germany - apparently to make his time at work easier - is alleged to have committed even more crimes, according to a court spokeswoman.

A supplementary indictment has been filed with the regional court in the German city of Aachen, stating that prosecutors believe the nurse murdered four more patients and attempted to do so in nine other cases all within a few months.

The 44-year-old German man is now accused of a total of nine murders and 34 attempted murders by overdosing his victims with painkillers or sedatives. DPA
