A German nurse has been taken for questioning by the German police and prosecutors on the accusation of poisoning five premature babies with morphine in a hospital. At the university hospital of Ulm in Southern Germany, five premature babies between one day and one month of age suddenly began experiencing life-threatening breathing difficulties on December 20 2019, according to reports by CNN. The suspect, a nurse at the Hospital was on duty that morning and has been taken into police custody. Ulm’s chief public prosecutor, Christof Lehr, on Thursday stated that the nurse denies having given the babies morphine.
