Killer nurse sentenced to life in prison

A US nurse who killed at least 29 patients was sent to prison for the rest of his life today after his victims’ loved ones branded him a “monster” who had ruined lives and shattered their faith in the medical profession.

Charles Cullen – one of the most prolific killers the US health care industry has ever seen – escaped the death penalty after making a deal with prosecutors to tell them which patients he killed with hard-to-detect drug injections.
