Update, 8:05 p.m.:

The investigations into the

care devil at the clinic on the right of the Isar

are in full swing.

As reported, a 24-year-old contract worker is said to have almost killed three patients there - apparently to help with the resuscitation of those affected and to shine as a hero.

Ten officers from the guard room investigation team are currently investigating whether there are more cases in the clinic.

The clinic staff also help.

According to

tz

information

, the clinic director

even took

doctors

off vacation.

In their investigation, the police also check the carer's background:

The 24-year-old was born in

North Rhine-Westphalia

.

From 2013 to 2016 he trained as a geriatric nurse there.

As a result, he worked in various geriatric care institutions in North Rhine-Westphalia.

"So far, no other cases are known from other institutions," said Josef Wimmer, head of the homicide squad.

The suspect is known to the police for minor property crimes and is currently in custody.

The

first suspicions came from

a

young assistant doctor

who stumbled upon the critical blood values ​​of a seriously ill patient on Saturday.

It showed a massively reduced blood clotting;

As it turned out later, the 24-year-old nurse had given the 54-year-old woman the anticoagulant heparin in high doses.

The young doctor remembered a comparable case at the end of October with similarly suspicious values ​​- and reported to the managing

senior physician Professor Dr.

Sandro war

also that the same nurse was on duty at the time. 

Antidote to heparin - then the nurse is withdrawn from duty

At this point in time, both doctors suspected that the blood values ​​could be related to a dangerously high dose of heparin.

Thereupon, Prof. Krieg ordered special laboratory tests in an urgent manner and arranged for the patient - to put it simply - to be given a kind of antidote that neutralizes

the effects of the heparin

.

At the same time, the files revealed that the patient concerned had not been prescribed any heparin at all.

When the laboratory results confirmed the suspicion against the nurse on Saturday evening, clinic director Professor Dr.

Bernhard Meyer suggests that the nurse will be withdrawn from work under a pretext.

The perpetrator got a call from the nursing management, according to which he did not have to appear for work on Sunday because fewer

operations were

carried out

due to Corona

.

At the same time, Prof. Krieg secured empty medicine containers and the contents of the

rubbish bins

at the guard station

.

It also contained packaging

containing

strong

sedatives

that the nurse had given another patient.

During the night, further laboratory tests were carried out, which further intensified the suspicion against the nurse.

Clinic director Meyer then turned on

the

police

on

Sunday morning

.

On Sunday the clinic director drummed up

 all the senior physicians from the wards and from vacation,

according to information from 

Münchner Merkur

 and 

tz

.

The medics immediately began to internally review other cases from the past few weeks.

So far - according to current knowledge -

no further suspected cases

have emerged.

The 90-year-old patient, who had been given a dangerously high dose by the nurse at the end of October, has recovered.

He is in rehab.

The woman, whose blood tests led the doctors to track down the perpetrator, is in

stable condition

.

The third person affected, a 91-year-old man, is still in the

intensive care unit

.

His condition is critical.

Scandal in Munich hospital: nurses (24) played with the lives of patients - for allegedly perfidious reasons

Update, 12.20 p.m.:

Now there are also initial insights into

the carer's

motive

.

He may have acted for low motives.

Chat history shows that he apparently

wanted to portray

himself

as a lifesaver

, said the head of the Munich homicide squad, Josef Wimmer, on Wednesday in Munich.

Update, 12:06 p.m.:

details

was brought before

the

judge

on Tuesday evening

The

responsible senior physician

was questioned for about three hours.

He immediately sounded the alarm after one of his interns discovered abnormal blood values ​​in a patient.
