Niels Hoegel was convicted of two murders in 2015 but investigators believe he killed at least 90 patients with overdoses of heart medication

In a horrific incident, a male nurse in Germany allegedly used lethal drugs on patients out of "boredom" which may have taken lives of around 100 patients. Niel Hoegel, 41, is serving life imprisonment for two murders and four counts of attempted murder for using lethal drugs on intensive-care patients at the Delmenhorst hospital in 2015. In late August, police had confirmed that Hoegel may have killed at least another 84 patients other than the ones he was serving time for, when Niels Hoegel's worked as the nurse in two hospitals in Oldenburg and Delmenhorst. Police further said that they have finished running toxicology tests on other reported 41 fatalities. According to Independent UK, toxicological examinations uncovered further 16 cases in which he is suspected to have killed patients. "The insights we were able to gain are terrifying, they surpass what we could have imagined," said Johann Kuehme, police chief in the city of Oldenburg, where the other hospital is located, reported AFP. "He cannot remember every case, but in more than 30 he concretely remembered the patients and their behaviour," said prosecutor Daniela Schiereck-Bohlemann. Reports have confirmed that Hoegel has admitted to injecting patients with lethal drugs, due to "boredom", which could potentially lead to heart failure or circulatory collapse and in the process tried to make them come back to life, and if successful, make a "breakthrough revelation".

German nurse allegedly killed 100 patients due to 'boredom'

<p>A round of discussion was&nbsp;started when Oscar-winning filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy from Pakistan shared a series of tweets addressing the incident of her sister&#39;s visit to&nbsp;a hospital.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It so happened that after Obaid-Chinoy&#39;s sister&#39;s treatment at a hospital in Pakistan, she received a friend request from the doctor on Facebook.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This led to a series of&nbsp;heated tweets by the filmmaker about sexual harassment. She mentioned&nbsp;how &#39;Pakistan has zero boundaries and that the doctors messed with the wrong women in the wrong wrong family&#39; in her tweets.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She further added that she will file a report against the doctor.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Obaid-Chinoy&#39;s portrayal of the Facebook request as &#39;harassment&#39;&nbsp;set off an angry response from many Pakistanis saying that she had overreacted.&nbsp;</p>

Almost seven months after a flyover in India’s eastern state of West Bengal collapsed and claimed as many as 27 lives, yet another under-construction flyover in Hooghly district has collapsed. A portion of the flyover in Hooghly’s Mogra collapsed on Sunday morning. While no one was injured in the incident, a boulder was stuck beneath the rubble.

When the girder of the flyover collapsed, no vehicles were present under the flyover, except for a motorcycle. The incident occurred around 9.30 am IST in the morning and left the locals in a panic. "A major tragedy has been averted. This is a very densely populated area. Luckily, the collapse took place on a Sunday morning, hence there were no people underneath. Had it been a working day, several would have been left dead," said Dibyendu Malakar, a local, who resides adjacent to the flyover. Meanwhile, the officials of the district police of Hooghly are carrying out a search to check whether anyone or any other vehicles are stuck under the debris. Immediately, railway officials rushed to the spot to take stock of the situation. A committee of experts and engineers has been set up to probe into the collapse and find out the cause.
