The nurse accused of starting a deadly fire at a nursing home in Sydney, Australia, now faces eight charges of murder.

The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper said prosecutors had added four more murder counts against Roger Dean, who worked at the Quakers Hill Nursing Home.

Four elderly residents died on the day of the November 18 blaze and five more died in hospital later. Police are still trying to determine what caused the death of one of the residents.
