Carer in pensioners home arrested in Olot could have killed four residents

Carer in pensioners home arrested in Olot could have killed four residents: "carer in a pensioners’ home in Olot, Joan V. who was arrested last weekend following the death of a resident, Paquita Gironès, is now under investigation to see if he was responsible for the deaths of any other residents thought to have died from natural causes.

He is reported to have admitted killing three others to end their suffering, but later he withdrew the confession, although he says he was responsible for the death of 85 year old Paquita, declaring that she was suffering too much. The autopsy shows signs that she had drunk an abrasive liquid."
