A nurse has been arrested for killing nearly 40 patients because she found them ‘annoying’, it has been claimed.
Daniella Poggiali is alleged to have found patients or their families irritating.
The
42-year-old is in custody over the death of Rosa Calderoni, 78, who
died from a lethal dose of potassium, believed to have been delivered by
injection.
Further
investigations discovered that she was not the only patient to have
died mysteriously and she is now facing the possibility of being linked
with another 38 deaths.
Rosa had been admitted to hospital for diabetes-related problems, but her visit should have been routine.
But she died from a cardiac arrest, sparking the investigation.
It
is also alleged by one of her colleagues that Poggiali gave laxatives
to other patients to make work harder for people working after her.
Poggiali
works at Lugo Hospital, Italy, and investigations are taking place to
find out how she might have come to get the potassium injections.
Chief
prosecutor Alessandro Mancini told Libero Quotidiano: ‘The current
patients of the hospital are not in any danger, if only because the
suspect is not currently in service.’
