Ex-Nurse Says He Killed 30-40 Patients

[Fuzz]

SOMERVILLE, N.J. (AP) - A former nurse told prosecutors that he killed 30 to 40 patients since 1987 at several hospitals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Charles Cullen, 43, has been charged with one count of murder and attempted murder, but investigators are examining records at 10 hospitals where he worked in attempt to document his claims about the other killings.

``The evidence that we have indicates that may very well be the case,'' prosecutor Wayne Forrest said.

Cullen, 43, told investigators that he performed mercy killings to alleviate the pain of patients who were ``very sick,'' Forrest said.

The last hospital he worked at, where he ended up getting caught is my hospital. Yikes! My wife, mother in law and father in law all used to work there.
