Nurse charged with murdering six patients sent into custody

A court in Ústí nad Labem on Thursday sent a former nurse, who was charged with murdering six patients at a hospital in Rumburk, north Bohemia, into custody. The state prosecutor had asked for the suspect to be taken into custody for fear she might try to flee the country. According to investigators, the nurse had been killing patients who were in her care, since 2010, overdosing them with potassium. The nurse herself denied that she was committing euthanasia.
