Description:
(Nurse) Niels Högel, a former nurse from Germany, was initially convicted of six patient murders. However, subsequent investigations revealed a shocking total of eighty-five murder convictions. Estimates indicate that he may have been involved in up to 300 deaths in slightly over five years. These staggering figures establish him as the most prolific serial killer in peacetime Germany and potentially worldwide. His crimes have underscored significant worries regarding patient safety and the necessity for more stringent regulations in healthcare environments.
