Custodian receives six-year sentence for fatal abuse in Brandenburg following six years in court. - Nurse sentenced to nearly six years in prison for fatal abuse in Brandenburg (Germany)

Hey there,

Let me spin you a grim yarn about a caregiver who received a hefty sentence in Brandenburg, Germany. The story unfolds in Wittstock, where this gaffe-prone caregiver worked at a home for residents, one fateful night in January 2024.

This unfortunate event involving a woman, who suffered from intellectual disability and epilepsy, took a dark turn when the caregiver, aged 27, was unable to settle her down in her bed. The woman was causing a ruckus, unable to be soothed. Desperate, the caregiver decided to push her wheelchair into the common room, exposing the woman, clad only in her pajamas, to the freezing cold.

The caregiver had hoped that the frigid temperatures would help the woman calm down. Instead, the woman contracted a deadly lung infection due to the cold and passed away two days later. The court, after careful deliberation, largely agreed with the prosecutor who had demanded a three-year ban on the caregiver working in any care or educational professions.

The court found the caregiver guilty of bodily harm resulting in death, exposure to danger resulting in death, and abuse of a person under protection. The final verdict is still pending.

Neuruppin was the stage for this unfolding tragedy.

  • Imprisonment became the fate for this careless caregiver in Brandenburg.
