A Berlin court sentenced a 41-year-old German doctor to life in prison for the murder of at least 15 patients in his care. The physician had worked in a palliative care service, and investigators believe the actual toll may be far higher: another 76 cases are still under investigation. The conviction sent shockwaves through Germany’s healthcare system, raising urgent questions about oversight in end-of-life care facilities.
In a separate German crime story, a 16-year-old was arrested for an attack on a school that left two young women injured. And in a deeply disturbing trend, German authorities are grappling with so-called “rapist schools” proliferating on Telegram, where users share advice on committing sexual assaults — a phenomenon that investigators say is growing at an alarming rate.
