Nurse accused of murdering patients read tarot cards to the ill

A DUTCH nurse, accused of murdering 13 patients with drug overdoses, yesterday told a court she secretly read tarot cards to the terminally ill “so they wouldn’t worry about their futures”.

Lucy Isabella Quirina de Berk, 40, faces 18 counts of murder and attempted murder for a series of deaths from February, 1997 to September 2001.

Her alleged victims ranged from infants to a 91-year-old Chinese judge from the UN war crimes tribunal.
