Another 18 suspicious deaths
in the ER at Saronno near Varese are being examined by
consultants, police said Monday.
Some 14 people are under investigation in the probe, which
has looked at dozens of deaths in the northern Italian hospital
near Milan.
A nurse told investigators in a multiple suspicious deaths
case in Saronno city hospital that murder suspect Leonardo
Cazzaniga openly bragged about being "the angel of death".
"I heard Cazzaniga talking about his 'protocol'," the witness
said. "I heard him exclaim things like: I'm applying my protocol
to this patient".
Two other nurses confirmed to investigators that Cazzaniga's
"protocol" consisted in administering sedatives and anesthetics
to finish off patients with low life expectancy.
