(Julian Stratenschulte/Pool via Reuters)OLDENBURG, Germany: A German nurse admitted in court on Tuesday to being post-war Germany's deadliest serial killer, murdering 99 patients with lethal injections so that he could play the hero by trying to revive them. He had already been sentenced to 15 years in jail in 2015 after he was found guilty of killing two patients with lethal injections. Ten years ago, a German nurse was convicted of killing 28 elderly patients. He said he gave them lethal injections because he felt sorry for them.
