Since July 2020, three murders and six attempts have been committed in a nursing home in Oostrozebeke, Belgium. Residents were poisoned with insulin, Het Laatste Nieuws and VTM Nieuws report based on their own research. None of the injected residents had been prescribed insulin. The killer has been missing for two years.
The incidents started in July 2020. For a year, several residents of the Rozenberg residential care center were injected with an overdose of insulin.
Three of them did not survive. An 87-year-old man survived two poisonings, but the third attempt ultimately killed him.
The Belgian Public Prosecution Service confirms on Wednesday afternoon that it has been investigating three possible murders and six attempted murders since the end of 2020. The case has so far been kept out of the public eye. The residential care center did go to the police, but they have not solved the case despite the questioning of staff, family and relatives.
In August 2021, the killings and assassination attempts suddenly stopped. The home’s management declined to comment. “Due to the secrecy of the investigation,” said a spokesperson. “We hope that the court can complete its work soon.”
