Addicted to murder

As soon as Charles was familiar with the layout of Somerset Medical Center, he resumed his killing spree. On 12th February 2003, he surreptitiously approached patient Eleanor Stoecker, who had cancer of the kidneys. Though he wasn’t her primary nurse, Charles gave her an intravenous injection, whereupon the sixty-year-old’s condition deteriorated and she was given the last rites. She died the following morning and the staff explained to her relatives that the cancer plus the chemotherapy had taken a fatal toll.

Eleven days later, Charles killed twice, injecting both 74-year-old Joyce Mangini and 89-year-old Giacomino Toto with a powerful muscle relaxant. The following month, he murdered again, injecting norepinephrine into 83-year-old army veteran John Shanagher, and, on 6th April, he took the life of eighty-year-old Dorthea Hoagland.

Charles was equally active in May. On the 5th, he fatally injected 66-year-old Melvin Simcoe with an anti-coagulant and, a few days later, gave 22-year-old Michael Strenko a lethal dose of norepinephrine. The young man, who had an autoimmune problem, had come to the hospital to have his spleen removed. He had been doing well but suddenly deteriorated. Charles went to speak to his parents, who were anxiously waiting for news in a side ward, and told them that their son would probably die. He was right.

Meanwhile, the police had failed to prove that Charles was a serial killer, their task made difficult by the fact that he often worked on critical care wards where sudden death was to be expected, and there had been no suspicions about foul play when his patients were autopsied. They reluctantly closed the investigation and Charles was free to kill again.
