Carabinieri police on Thursday
seized over 50 medical records in relation to a probe into a
doctor who is suspected of causing the deaths of four elderly
patients at Saronno hospital, in the northern province of
Varese, and a nurse who was allegedly his lover, sources said.
The nurse, Laura Taroni, is suspected of killing her husband
using drugs recommended by the doctor, Leonadro Cazzaniga.
Investigation documents suggest that the couple thought about
killing one of the woman's relatives too, sources said.
Investigators in Busto Arsizio, just northwest of Milan, said
Wednesday that there may be more victims than previously
thought. Investigators are also looking into the death of
Cazzaniga's father, who died in the Saronno hospital ER while
Cazzaniga, 60, was on duty, and the death of Taroni's mother,
with whom they said Taroni had a bad relationship. A total of 14
people are under investigation over the suspicious deaths - four
of them at Saronno hospital.
