'Evil' nurse jailed for life for killing patients

Mar 4 07:25 AM US/Eastern


A hospital nurse was jailed for life Tuesday, with a recommendation he is not released for at least 30 years, for murdering four frail and elderly patients and trying to kill a fifth.
Colin Norris, branded "evil" by the judge, gave all five women overdoses of diabetes drug insulin as they recovered from surgery on hip fractures at two hospitals in Leeds in 2002.

.....

Sentencing him at the same court Tuesday, judge John Norris said: "You are, I have absolutely no doubt, a thoroughly evil and dangerous man."

.....

His dislike stemmed from the fact that he was "essentially lazy", seeing elderly patients as needing too much care, the judge said.

Ooooooh! That's almost 6 yrs per victim before he's eligible for parole. That'll teach him!

No, he only attempted to kill the fifth... So more like 7.5 years for each one he killed. Now don't you feel better?
