A Berlin court is expected to deliver its verdict on Wednesday in the trial of a 41-year-old palliative care doctor accused of murdering 15 patients between 2021 and 2024.
A verdict is expected Wednesday in the trial of a German palliative care doctor accused of killing 15 patients and described by prosecutors as having "a lust for murder".
The 41-year-old Berlin doctor, identified only as Johannes M., allegedly killed 12 women and three men between September 2021 and July 2024 using deadly cocktails of sedatives.
On at least five occasions, he allegedly set fire to the victims' apartments to cover up the killings.
Authorities have said during the trial they are still investigating dozens of other deaths possibly committed by Johannes M.
