Man claiming to be killer of elderly walks free

A FORMER care assistant who claimed he was involved in killing up to 10 elderly patients at the country’s largest hospice is unlikely to face any charges in relation to the matter.

The 31-year-old, who lives in Newtownabbey, Co Antrim, was released from custody without charge by Northern police early yesterday morning.

The man was questioned for several hours about his claim after handing himself in to Antrim Road police in Belfast on Tuesday evening.
