Palliative doctor in Berlin in court: 15 patients dead - a nightmare!

Palliative doctor in Berlin in court: 15 patients dead - a nightmare!

A scandalous case is currently shaking the minds in Berlin. The palliative doctor Johannes M. is suspected of having killed at least 15 of his patients between September 2021 and July 2024 while working for a nursing service. The Berlin public prosecutor has already brought charges and the doctor is currently imprisoned. The process begins on July 14, 2025 in front of the Berlin District Court, and a total of 35 process dates are scheduled until January 2026, such as rbb24 reported.

It is particularly revealing that the public prosecutor also takes a close look at M.'s mother -in -law who is part of the 96 suspected cases. This lived in Poland and suffered from cancer. Her death fell during the period of a visit by John M. and his wife. So far, the accused doctor has little to defend because he has not commented on the allegations. What makes things even more explosive: Colleagues claim to have said at a team meeting that they had "sprayed dead" the mother -in -law, according to Tagesspiegel .

The alleged acts

The indictment includes several alleged killings that took place in different parts of Berlin. The victims were between 25 and 94 years old and were all looked after by the same nursing service. The following is in the room:

• 25-year-olds in Berlin-Buckow on September 22, 2021
• 70-year-olds in Tempelhof on June 24, 2022, followed by a fire
• 56-year-olds in Neukölln on September 5, 2022, initially reanimated, later died in the hospital
• 70-year-old in Neukölln on January 29, 2024
• 83-year-old in Berlin-Britz on March 29, 2024
• 61-year-olds in Schöneberg on April 4, 2024
• 83-year-old in the hospice of the DRK clinics Köpenick on April 29, 2024
• 83-year-old in Berlin-Gropiusstadt on April 30, 2024
• 73-year-old in Köpenick on May 6, 2024

• 94-year-olds in Neukölln on July 15, 2024, shot in the kitchen
• 72-year-old in Plänterwald on July 24, 2024, shot in the apartment

reactions and outlook

The investigation group applied in a total of 395 cases, in 15 cases cornering outlets have already been ordered and exhumation is still pending. The public prosecutor is not only aiming for a conviction, but also a determination of the special severity of guilt and a lifelong ban on profession, such as rbb24 reported.

in a context in which trust in medical specialists is essential, this case raises frightening questions about ethics in palliative treatment. The court hearing will show whether Johannes M. is actually responsible for the acts charged to him. While the events continue to be tested, it remains to be seen which further details will come to light.
