DOCTOR ACCUSED OF 15 SEPARATE MURDERS
A 40-year-old doctor, who has been in custody since August for his alleged role in the deaths of four individuals and suspected of administering lethal doses of various medications to his patients, has been charged by prosecutors with 15 separate murders as a result of investigations extending back to 2021.
ALLEGATION OF "KILLING PATIENTS WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE USING MEDICATION"
In a statement from the prosecutor's office, it was expressed that the doctor administered anesthesia and muscle relaxants to patients without their knowledge or consent. It was also reported that the doctor attempted to cover up the incident by setting fire to the patients' apartments. It was noted that this number could potentially increase, as the investigation team specifically established for the case is reviewing patient records. The doctor, who reportedly denies the allegations against him, is also facing a request for a life ban from the profession.
