An unimaginable outcome, when a nurse, nurses an urge to kill. Benjamin Geen, all of 25 and a nurse by profession, was convicted of murdering two patients and causing harm to another 15 patients at the Horton General Hospital in Oxfordshire.

The accused had injected the patients with unauthorized dangerous doses of medicines that caused the patients’ to stop breathing.Geen had committed these offences between December 2003 and February 2004, but has not accepted any of the charges labeled against him.

Apparently, Geen resorted to different methods to take his parents to a near death experience that did not exclude overdoses of insulin and sedatives.

Detective Superintendent Andy Taylor, who led the murder investigation, said: "Ben Geen abused this position of trust. We may never know what motivated him to select and poison his victims. It is clear that he wanted to be the centre of attention and in order to fuel this desire, brought some of his patients to the brink of death and coldly murdered two of them."
