A nightmare you can't wake up from

Being a diabetic I use insulin for a life saver. I need it 24/7 to keep my body healthy and going.
I was absolutely gobsmacked to hear, that a male nurse in my town was standing before a judge last week, for having killed 4 elderly by giving them an overdose of insulin. A fifth victim slipped away into a coma, but she recovered and she's alive but terrified of what could have happened.

I'm talking about Kurt Dobbelaere, a 45 yo male nurse. He used to work in an elderly home as a head nurse. The man kept saying that his deceased mother whispered him in the ear, that it was his task to murder these persons. The psychiatrists decided though, that by no means, this man was forced by voices in his head to commit these horrible murders. This man is a true psychopath. He's very capable of committing the same crimes if he gets to be released. He's a cold blooded murderer and should be considered a medical serial killer.

But what was the motive for these random murders? Dobbelaere feels people should be proud of him, for taking the life of these elderly. He thought it wasn't fair that his mother had to die at a rather young age, while his victims had lived a long life until he crossed their path.
He decided they would be better of dead. The relatives of the victims cannot understand why their beloved ones had to leave this earth in these horrible circumstances. Their beloved father/mother was happy in the elderly home. They were not ill and they attended most social activities. By no means did they talk about dying or committing suicide. Dobbelaere played God and decided all by himself that he should give these people an insulin overdose. The tragic outcome is 4 deceased persons.. Kurt Dobbelaere was found to be guilty: life sentence.. I wonder how many years he will serve in prison.

To be continued..
