Wuppertal (dpa / lnw) – After uncovering a suspected series of robberies of residents in Wuppertal, the investigations have been expanded. Police and prosecutors announced on Friday that it would be checked whether the suspected carer could also be responsible for deaths. So far, however, there are no indications of this.
The caregiver is said to have boasted to a colleague that he had drugged and robbed elderly people on several occasions. The man’s previous jobs would now also be examined for abnormalities.
During the period of employment in the home where the allegations came to light, twelve thefts of valuables had been reported. The 26-year-old nurse has been in custody since Wednesday.
